[jira] Commented: (DERBY-2667) Create more robust junit TestRunner for running derby tests

["Daniel John Debrunner (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

Daniel John Debrunner commented on DERBY-2667:
----------------------------------------------

Not sure if "robust" is the right tem here, do you really mean a "more informative" test runner?

junit.textui.TestRunner does in fact print chained exceptions, it's Derby that is not chaining the exceptions. I had a fix that did chain the exceptions but it broke on jdk16 so it was backed out and put into a Jira entry which I think has yet to be fixed. DERBY-2472

For the separate file issue, have you looked at the way ant runs junit tests? We have the top-level junit-all target and that provides a whole lot of information in XML that can help in diagnosing issues. It's also standard so that others tools know how to handle the information, e.g. CruiseControl presents the ant junit task output as web-pages complete with sections for failed tests etc.

> junit.textui.TestRunner is not very robust. It does not for example print the tests as they run or print chained exceptions, create separate files for the full report and just failures.   It would be great to have a standardized TestRunner that everyone uses.  Perhaps someone already has one that they would like to contribute as a starter.
