Hello All,
I'm investigating the possibilities of migrating Harmony tests from
JUnit/Directory layout to TestNG while reviewing all the related
thread in mailing list. And I will try to answer the open issues. To
make things simple, I will post the issues one by one. ;-)
Question: How to handle bootclasspath tests?
IMHO, I'm not sure whether it is a good idea to use TestNG groups to
differentiate the "bootclasspath" tests and "classpath" tests.
If we put "bootclasspath" and "classpath" tests in the same directory,
and use TestNG groups to differentiate them. When we want to run the
"bootclasspath" tests, we have to put all tests in bootclasspath
including the "classpath" tests. I don't think it's a good approach.
And I cannot find any ways to compile the java sources from one
directory into several different directories (ANT or Eclipse). So I
suggest we put bootclasspath tests and classpath tests into different
directories.
Agreed - this is a fairly simple separation, and there is good reason to
do it.
My vote's for keeping bootclasspath and classpath tests physically separate.
Yes, I think this is the best way to handle this distinction too.
There are going to be more than enough "groups". I thought about some
more earlier while trying the awt tests... we should identify which
tests require a display to run and which may be run "headless".
That's a good point, Mark. Just thinking about whether we could skip the
tests which require a display when there is no display available. If
someone try to run Harmony tests on a Linux server, the awt/swing tests
shall be skipped. Any ideas?
I will open another thread to discuss TestNG groups :-)
Best regards,
Richard

Mark.
But if we think putting all tests into bootclasspath is not a
problem, we may have a workaround: running bootclasspath and
classpath tests in separate tasks. I mean:1) Running bootclasspath
tests with all tests in bootclasspath 2) running all classpath tests
with all tests in classpath
Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Here is sample of how to launch TestNG in ANT:
<testng outputDir="${testng.report.dir}"
sourcedir="${test.src.dir}"
haltOnfailure="true"
verbose="3"
jvm="${HarmonyVM}/bin/java"
>
<bootclasspath>
<pathelement path="../bin/tests.boot" />
</bootclasspath>
<classpath>
<pathelement path="../bin/tests" />
</classpath>
<xmlfileset dir="." includes="suite.xml" />
</testng>
Thanks for reading this far. ;-)
