Junit task
Sorry if this is an FAQ (I did at least try and get the FAQ list but was
informed there wasn't one).
I'm a recent convert to both JUnit and Ant, has someone already created a
JUnit task or is the norm to run it through the java task? My reason for
asking is that the java task doesn't seem to stop the build when a test
fails as JUnit has completed successfully.
Thanks,
Paul.

That'd be 'disseminate' ;-)
Also, it's always worth verifying your statements before sending. ie. Make
an absolute statement about whether the quesiton is in the FAQ or not - it
doesn't sound credible if you hedge your bets - less credible than if you are
actually wrong! (cause most people aren't going to bother to check).
regards,
David.

FAQ (was Re: Junit task)
Posted by Peter Nordlund <pe...@lentus.se>.
Hi again,
May I suggest that the FAQ for ant is made available directly from the ant
main page.
Now you first have to go to the projects FAQ where the tomcat FAQ is default
(that's ok). Next you have to click on a link with the text "Jakarta -
Tomcat" to get
to the next page where you may choose to view the ant FAQ.
I think that the present layout is quite unintuitive and easy to miss.
Also, of course add the answer to my stupid question! ;-)

Go for it -- we've got Jive. :)
And yes, I can take as an action item to add a link to it in the footer that
should be on this list (along with unsubscription info). It won't happen
till next week or so though.

On this topic, I've been meaning to suggest for a while that the FAQ be
updated (I'm not sure what's in it, actually, but something along the
lines of 'I can't compile because I don't have jaxp.jar/parser.jar' would
not go amiss... also 'When I compile under JDk1.3/Jikes it does nothing')
and that it be included with the email sent on joining the list. I've seen
a few too many times in the last few weeks someone asking these questions,
and this seems to me a good way to desseminate this information.

you've searched at the wrong place 8^). Take a look at the welcome
email you've received when you subscribed to this list.
Depending on when you've subscribed, you'll need to change
jakarta-apache.org into jakarta.apache.org in the hostname part of the
email addresses given.

Sorry to bother you with a trivial question, I'm also interested in the
Junit task:
What archive? I searched the ant pages and I didn't find anything about
an archive.
The only thing I found was a tomcat-dev archive.

Yes, Thomas Haas and I did with Thomas doing most of the work. Thomas
has sent the whole stuff to the list some weeks ago. It is article
number 1070 "JUnit task and friends" if you want to retrieve it from
the archive.
There are several reasons why this has not been included into Ant - it
would have to be an optional task anyway. One reason is that the whole
handling of optional tasks inside of Ant is going to change (and back
in April it looked as if this would happen rather soon).
On the other hand Thomas developed some utility classes to represent
PATH like file lists and command line arguments as well as an improved
Exec tasks. We hoped they - or modified version of them - could be
integrated into Ant and thus easy the life of the JUnit task.
Oh and yes, the JUnit task can throw a BuildException - which means
stop the build process - if a test fails, this can be tailored to your
needs by attributes.

i echo this as well. i'm very interested in adding jUnit to the mix.
the event handling (logging, emailing, etc) sounds compelling as
well.

Hi all,
we're running ant on my site, a slightly modified version that I maintain which
includes a patch for javadoc that I already proposed 3 times to this list. I'll
switch to the official version when Sam will integrate my patch.
But I am very interested into your Junit task and I vote in favor of
integrating it into the main distribution: we're using Junit a lot but I didn't
integrate it to ant yet, waiting for your task to be integrated: maintaining
our own version of ant already takes too much of my time.

Opinions are my own.

Bring it on :-). I am currently using JUnit through a <Java> task. It works,
but it is not especially neat. A separate task would be great. I think it
would be good, too, to see the motivations for making changes to the ant
core.
I don't think we should wait for a big-bang changes to the core. We can make
the incremental changes to the current core while we discuss the shape of
the ant's future. Such changes will help us know what works and what should
be changed.

We, too, maintain our own version of ant. I would like to narrow the gap
over time.

OK, what do we need to do to get the JUnit task in there ?

The development of JUnit at our site is doing well. We have several
hunderts unit tests running with JUnit and ANT in our autoimated build
environment.
JUnit needs alot of other non standard classes, as I missed things in
ANT. All these things are halfway ready to be included in ANT (as the
much discussed Path object). Due to the recent movement of redoing ANT I
stopped sending patches and never commited a thing.
However, if it takes longer to build the next so much improved and
defently needed version of ANT, I woul like to add JUnit and friends, if
welcomed.
Right now, we have our own version of ANT, which we maintain seperatly
from the offical ANT. I dislike this situation. I would love to commit
more of our stuff, BUT I would like to get more feedback.
I hope some of the new committers take on and help improve the situation.
