Seeing log output when running tests with AntUnit
Hello,
I've been trying to use AntUnit and cannot see a way to view the typical
Ant output of the Ant targets being tested. The only output is that
which AntUnit generates, describing the tests executed, etc. If a test
fails it is important to view the log of the steps that happened.
Can anyone suggest how AntUnit is expected to be used to access this
logging information?
Thanks
paul

well, find the file and go
ant test-foo -v

Suggestions:
1. make use of au:assertTrue's message attribute.
2. decompose your condition as much as possible
(replace <and>s with multiple assertions).
HTH,

P.S. these really seem like questions for the user
list. :|

How would I print the content of that log?

My issue is that from the test target I get this output:
[antunit] Target: test-foo caused an ERROR
[antunit] at line 9, column 15
[antunit] Message: condition satisfied
[antunit] took 0.031 sec
The test has a complex condition in it, it would be useful to get more
output on what the condition evaluation is.

It's being saved to a log where you can make assertions about output
text, using <au:assertLogContains> assertion, which
itself uses the the <au:logContains> condition
Maybe we could tweak antunit also print the buffer on an assertion
failure, but generally I just run the target by hand when I want to see
the output.
