<title>AntUnit</title>

<body>

<section name="Idea">
<p>Initially all tests for Ant tasks were written as individual
<a href="http://www.junit.org/">JUnit</a> test cases. Pretty
soon it was clear that most tests needed to perform common tasks
like reading a build file, intializing a project instance with
it and executing a target. At this point <a
href="http://svn.apache.org/viewcvs.cgi/ant/core/trunk/src/testcases/org/apache/tools/ant/BuildFileTest.java">BuildFileTest</a>
was invented, a base class for almost all task test cases.</p>

<p>BuildFileTest works fine and in fact has been picked up by <a
href="http://ant-contrib.sf.net/">the Ant-Contrib Project</a>
and others as well.</p>

<p>Over time a new pattern evolved, more and more tests only
executed a target and didn't check any effects. Instead that
target contained the assertions as a <code>&lt;fail&gt;</code>
task. This is an example taken from the build file for the
ANTLR task (using Ant 1.7 features):</p>

<source><![CDATA[
<target name="test3" depends="setup">
<antlr target="antlr.g" outputdirectory="${tmp.dir}"/>
<fail>
<condition>
<!-- to prove each of these files exists;
ANTLR >= 2.7.6 leaves behind new (.smap) files as well. -->
<resourcecount when="ne" count="5">
<fileset dir="${tmp.dir}">
<include name="CalcParserTokenTypes.txt" />
<include name="CalcParserTokenTypes.java" />
<include name="CalcLexer.java" />
<include name="CalcParser.java" />
<include name="CalcTreeWalker.java" />
</fileset>
</resourcecount>
</condition>
</fail>
</target>
]]></source>

<p>where the corresponding JUnit testcase has been reduced
to</p>

<source><![CDATA[
...
public class ANTLRTest extends BuildFileTest {

private final static String TASKDEFS_DIR = "src/etc/testcases/taskdefs/optional/antlr/";

public ANTLRTest(String name) {
super(name);
}

public void setUp() {
configureProject(TASKDEFS_DIR + "antlr.xml");
}

public void tearDown() {
executeTarget("cleanup");
}

public void test3() {
executeTarget("test3");
}
...
}
]]></source>

<p>This approach has a couple of advantages, one of them is that
it is very easy to translate an example build file from a bug
report into a test case. If you ask a user for a testcase for a
given bug in Ant, he now doesn't need to understand JUnit or how
to fit a test into Ant's existing tests any more.</p>

<p>AntUnit takes this approach to testing even further, it
removes JUnit completely and it comes with a set of predefined
<code>&lt;assert&gt;</code> tasks in order to reuse common kind
of checks.</p>

<p>It turns out that AntUnit lends itself as a solution to other
problems as well. The assertions are an easy way to validate a
setup before even starting the build process, for example.
AntUnit could also be used for functional and integration tests
outside of the scope of Ant tasks (assert contents of databases
after running an application, assert contents of HTTP responses
...). This is an area that will need more research.</p>
</section>

<section name="Concepts">
<subsection name="antunit Task">
<p>The &lt;antunit&gt; task drives the tests much like
&lt;junit&gt; does for JUnit tests.</p>

<p>When called on a build file, the task will start a new Ant
project for that build file and scan for targets with names
that start with "test". For each such target it then will</p>
<ol>
<li>Execute the target named setUp, if there is one.</li>
<li>Execute the target itself - if this target depends on
other targets the normal Ant rules apply and the dependent
targets are executed first.</li>
<li>Execute the target names tearDown, if there is one.</li>
</ol>

</subsection>
<subsection name="Assertions">

<p>The base task is <code>&lt;assertTrue&gt;</code>. It
accepts a single nested condition and throws a subclass of
BuildException named AssertionFailedException if that
condition evaluates to false.</p>

<p>This task could have been implemented using
<code>&lt;macrodef&gt;</code> and <code>&lt;fail&gt;</code>,
but in fact it is a "real" task so that it is possible to
throw a subclass of BuildException. The
<code>&lt;antunit&gt;</code> task catches this exception and
marks the target as failed, any other type of Exception
(including other BuildException) are test errors.</p>

<p>Together with <code>&lt;assertTrue&gt;</code> there are
many predefined assertions for common conditions, most of
these are only macros.</p>

</subsection>

<subsection name="Other Tasks">

<p>The <code>&lt;logcapturer&gt;</code> captures all messages
that pass Ant's logging system and provides them via a
reference inside of the project. If you want to assert
certain log messages, you need to start this task (prior to
your target under test) and use the
<code>&lt;assertLogContains&gt;</code> assertion.</p>

<p><code>&lt;expectFailure&gt;</code> is a task container that
catches any BuildException thrown by tasks nested into it. If
no exception has been thrown it will cause a test failure (by
throwing an AssertionFailedException).</p>
</subsection>

<subsection name="AntUnitListener">
<p>Part of the library is the <code>AntUnitListener</code>
interface that can be used to record test results. The
&lt;antunit&gt; task accepts arbitrary many listeners and
relays test results to them.</p>

<p>Currently only a single implementation
<code>&lt;plainlistener&gt;</code> modelled after the "plain"
JUnit listener is bundeled with the library.</p>
</subsection>
</section>

<section name="Examples">

<p>This is a way to test that <code>&lt;touch&gt;</code>
actually creates a file if it doesn't exist:</p>

<source><![CDATA[
<project xmlns:au="antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit">
<!-- is called prior to the test -->
<target name="setUp">
<property name="foo" value="foo"/>
</target>

<!-- is called after the test, if if that causes an error -->
<target name="tearDown">
<delete file="${foo}" quiet="true"/>
</target>

<!-- the actual test case -->
<target name="testTouchCreatesFile">
<au:assertFileDoesntExist name="${foo}"/>
<touch file="${foo}"/>
<au:assertFileExists name="${foo}"/>
</target>
</project>
]]></source>

<p>When running a task like</p>

<source><![CDATA[
<au:antunit>
<fileset dir="." includes="touch.xml"/>
<au:plainlistener/>
</au:antunit>
]]></source>

<p>from a buildfile of its own you'll get a result that looks like</p>

<title>.NET Ant Library</title>
</properties>

<body>

<section name="Idea">

<p>This library doesn't strive to replace NAnt or MSBuild, its
main purpose is to help those of us who work on projects
crossing platform boundaries. With this library you can use Ant
to build and test the Java as well as the .NET parts of your
project.</p>

<p>This library provides a special version of the
<code>&lt;exec&gt;</code> task tailored to run .NET executables.
On Windows it will assume the Microsoft framework is around and
run the executable directly, while it will invoke Mono on any
other platform. Of course you can override these
assumptions.</p>

<p>Based on this a few tasks to run well known .NET utilities
from within Ant are provided, namely tasks to run <a
href="http://www.nunit.org/">NUnit</a>, <a
href="http://nant.sf.net/">NAnt</a> and <a
href="http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=27&amp;SiteID=1">MSBuild</a>.</p>

<p>There also is some experimental <a
href="http://wix.sf.net/">Wix</a> task, but it probably doesn't
do anything useful at all.</p>
