Re: Status of AntUnit trunk?

[Gilles Scokart <gs...@gmail.com>]

Sorry, I was on vacation those 2 last weeks (and managed to stay away
from my email).

There is indeed some code to run antunit script from a Junit runner.
I liked the antunit style to test ant tasks (or group of tasks), but I
felt it was not always easy to integrate it into all veriety of IDE or
build tool (I'm specially thinking to maven or java debugger), so I
had the idea to make a junit adapter.

I was 2 years ago, and at that time junit 3 was still quiet used, so I
hesitated about the junit version.  I did a bad compromise : I
integrated with both junit 4 and Junit 3.  As it was never released, I
think the junit 3 adapter can probably be dropped.  I also think that
with the most recent junit 4 (maybe using the junit 4 Rules) there
might more elegant solution.

I used that version of antunit in the deco project at that time, and
it worked well "for me".  I didn't tried it with recent junit 4
version.  I didn't tried neither the integration with various junit
runner : I tried only eclipse (not sure wich old version) and maven
runner (also old version).

There is a long time I want to go back to this code, but I'm afraid
that if I didn't found the time in the last 2 years, it might still
take a while before I found time again.

I still think this features would be usefull (I like it very much to
easily plug the eclipse debuger), but I don't want to delay more a new
release.  The code can be put on a branch (not sure if it is easy) or
could be marked somehow as experimental in case others found it
interresting.

Great way of doing vacation - and I'm sorry I interrupted it 8-)

OK, understood.

The code doesn't influence the rest of AntUnit much and what we have
ssems to work in Gump, so I'm inclined to mark the JUnit integration as
experimental inside the javadocs and proceed with releasing AntUnit from
trunk with the JUnit code.
