Ant-running tests

From AbbotWiki

overview

The preferred way to automate the running of lots of tests is via Ant.

pure ant tests

If you want to integrate Abbott with your ant builds (a daily build for instance) outside of an IDE. This code snippet is one way to invoke the abbot framework from an ant target without using any other custom code. This implementation does have drawbacks though, there is no easy way to get feedback from the test runs in any kind of useful format (see output="" in the java tag). You can then call this target with a parameter listing the abbot scripts to run.

<property environment="env"/>
<property name="abbot.jar" value="abbot-1.0.0.rc5/lib/abbot.jar"/>
<property name="junit.jar" value="abbot-1.0.0.rc5/junit/junit.jar"/>
<property name="abbot.test.scripts.dir" value="AbbotScripts/"/>

<target name="sys-test-run">
 <!-- java call to abbott tests -->
  <java fork="true" classname="junit.extensions.abbot.ScriptTestSuite" errorproperty="test_error" output="test_output.txt">
    <classpath>
	<pathelement location="${abbot.jar}"/>
	<pathelement location="${junit.jar}"/>
	    <fileset dir="${env.software_home\lib">
		<include name="**/*.jar"/>
	    </fileset>
	<pathelement path="${env.software_home}"/>
    </classpath>
    <arg line="${abbot.script.list}"/>
   </java>
   <fail if="${test_error}" message="Tests failed" />
</target>
