Hi,
This has been previously discussed - see
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=ant-user&m=106200360415717&w=4.
I have some nested test suites and the standard XMLJUnitResultFormatter
doesn't allow nested test suites, since the document root element is
"testsuite". I would like the output to be something like this:
MyTestSuite with custom name
+ FirstTestSuite with custom name
+ firstTestMethod
+ secondTestMethod
+ SecondTestSuite, also with custom name
+ firstTestMethod
+ secondTestMethod
But instead it is flattened like so:
MyTestSuite class name
+ firstTestMethod
+ secondTestMethod
+ firstTestMethod
+ secondTestMethod
When I have a thousand tests, it's a little hard to work out which
particular one failed, particularly when the suite name was intended to
provide that information. I could provide more detail in the
assertEquals call, if one remembers. But that's duplicated effort - I
want to only specify that once, just after test suite creation, rather
than in each assertion in each test method.
The above thread talked about a custom formatter, but after a look at
the JUnitResultFormatter interface and XMLJUnitResultFormatter
implementation, I suspect that ant doesn't currently provide the same
events that the JUnit swingui TestRunner and the version in the Eclipse
IDE do, which both present a hierarchical view of the TestSuite
composition. Also, I have the same issue that JUnitTest doesn't
recognise TestSuite names, just the class name.
This leads me to think that I need to create new task which exposes the
events that I need, and will use the TestSuite.getName() method, rather
than JUnitTest.getName(). Has anyone else had this problem and how was
it solved, before I start looking at how much work it might be to create
a new JUnit2 task?
Thanks in advance,
James
