SE450: JUnit: Integrating with Ant [40/41]

.jar files - put junit.jar in both your own lib directory, and %ANT_HOME%\lib.

build.xml changes - pay attention to the compiletests, test, and alltests tasks.

• The compiletests task will first compile your own code, then compile the tests for your code. If you aren't using ant, you need to make sure you do both of these steps manually.
• The test task will run one test and print a plain summary to the testresults folder
• The alltests task will find all classes with the name pattern of *Test and run them all at once. It will print the results to a testresult file - one per Test class.

A test result file looks like this:

TEST-se450.mwright1.junit.VectorTest.txt


Testsuite: se450.mwright1.junit.VectorTest
Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0.02 sec

Testcase: testCapacity took 0.01 sec
Testcase: testContains took 0 sec
Testcase: testElementAt took 0 sec

compiling tests - run the compiletests task in Ant, or use javac like before but with the junit.jar file in your classpath.

run tests using either:

1. junit.textui.TestRunner
2. junit.awtui.TestRunner
3. junit.swingui.TestRunner
4. ant test - set the test name in ant.properties
5. ant alltests

Both of the ant tasks use a version of junit.textui.TestRunner
