xml unit testing
Howdy,
I know that XmlUnit exists but does anyone have any recommendations for
xml unit testing tools? A lot of the plugins generate xml and I want to
improve the testing across the plugins so I figure with a good xml unit
testing tool I can probably make a start at plugin tests for many of the
plugins missing tests.
./ant/src/plugin-test
./aspectwerkz/src/plugin-test
./changes/src/plugin-test
./checkstyle/src/plugin-test
./clean/clean/src/plugin-test
./clean/src/plugin-test
./clover/src/plugin-test
./dashboard/src/plugin-test
./deploy/src/plugin-test
./dist/src/plugin-test
./ear/src/plugin-test
./faq/src/plugin-test
./gump/src/plugin-test
./html2xdoc/src/plugin-test
./java/src/plugin-test
./plugin/src/plugin-test
./war/src/plugin-test
./xdoc/src/plugin-test
That's all we have which I will take a stab at improving tomorrow. I
hope to make a shell of a little tool, a harness of sorts, for testing
plugins independently across various versions of maven.

html2xdoc test error
Posted by Anthony Vito <vi...@mnis.com>.
Thought I'd throw this at the devel list, might help come up with a good
solution to this type of issue.
I built HEAD today I get this error in the testing of html2xdoc,
and bunch of related exceptions that follow.

Now the funny this is the site.jsl is just fine for everything else
using xdocs up until this point. I was able to prevent this error from
occuring with the following patch to the xdoc plugin.jelly. I know I've
ran into these issues with Xerces vs other xml libraries before. I've
often found adding more slashes makes everything work.

Cool, I will look into that today and make a little tool with it and try
it.

That's interesting, maybe we can chat in IRC about your technique. I can
think of some non-XML where that would be useful.

Thinking along the lines of acceptance/customer tests...
If what you're really wanting to test is that the generated xml
matches some golden xml file, ala diff of two xml files, xmlunit is
the best I've found.
I've also just read the xml into domain objects and checked those and
actually used jrcs to diff two streams/readers in a generic way as
alternatives.

Yah, that seems to be the front runner.

I'm not using Jelly.

Hi Jason,
I can think of 2 ways for doing this:
- xmlunit :-)
- using directly Jelly (the xml taglib) as I've done in several plugin
tests. It won't test the full generated XML (is that necessary? I don't
think so) but only the "important" parts.
