Before I begin, I freely and humbly express my debt to those who have explicitly
helped me as well as this support group in general.
Obviously there will be "problems" with what I show below. I claim authorship of
these. Comments are requested, don't worry, my hide
is pretty thick.
I'm a newbie, but this is what I'm doing (God awful detail - but then, that is where
the devil lies (and I do mean lying in wait for
the unsuspecting as well as whispering untruths)):
inside ant:
<target name="junitDBTest" depends="testCompile">
<junit haltonfailure="no" printsummary="yes" fork="no" >
<sysproperty key="log4j.configuration" value="log4j.txt"/>
<classpath>
<fileset dir = "${dist}/lib" >
<include name="**/**.jar"/>
</fileset>
<pathelement location="${buildTest}"/>
<pathelement location="D:\jakarta-ant-1.3\lib\jakarta-ant-1.3-optional.jar"/>
</classpath>
<formatter type="plain" usefile="true"/>
<test name="gscc.objectsTest.DBTest"/>
<!--jvmarg value ="-verbose:class"/-->
</junit>
</target>
Key parts for me:
1) the key for the sysproperty - with this log4j can use my configuration file and
this is made available inside my code
automatically
2) the last pathelement
Inside my java code:
package gscc.objectsTest;
// probably don't need everything below now, it reflects the different attempts I made
to become operational and have not been
cleaned up yet
import org.apache.log4j.BasicConfigurator;
import org.apache.log4j.Category;
import org.apache.log4j.PropertyConfigurator;
import junit.framework.*;
import gscc.objects.DB;
import gscc.objects.GsccException;
import gscc.objects.Person;
import gscc.mockObjects.DBImpl;
public class DBTest extends TestCase {
private DB db;
static Category cat = Category.getInstance (DBTest.class.getName());
protected void setUp () {
db = new DBImpl ();
cat.debug("setup");
try {
db.connect ("test");
}
catch (Exception e) {
fail (e.toString());
}
}
protected void tearDown () {
cat.debug("tearDown");
if (db != null) {
db.disconnect();
db = null;
}
}
public void testInvalidSecondConnection () {
cat.debug("testInvalidSecondConnection");
try {
db.connect (" ");
db.connect ("should fail");
fail ("this connection should have failed as it is a illegal second connect");
}
catch (Exception ignore) {
}
}
public void testValidSecondConnection () {
cat.debug("testValidSecondConnection");
db.disconnect();
try {
db.connect("should work");
}
catch (Exception e) {
fail (e.toString());
}
}
public void testNoConnection () {
cat.debug("testNoConnection");
db.disconnect();
Person p = new Person (db);
try {
db.storePerson (p);
fail ("the connection does not exist, therefore this should have failed");
}
catch (Exception ignore) {
}
}
public DBTest (String name) {
super (name);
cat.debug ("new DBTest " + name);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
//again, the below comments reflect alternatives I tried before things became
operational
/*
if (args[0]!=null) {
PropertyConfigurator.configure(args[0]);
}
else {
PropertyConfigurator.configure("log4j.txt");
}
Category root = Category.getRoot();
Layout layout = new PatternLayout("%p [%t] %c - %m%n");
root.addAppender(new FileAppender(layout, System.out));
*/
junit.textui.TestRunner.run(DBTest.class);
}
}
Key part for me - let log4j find the configuration file
here is the log4j.txt (also reflects some experimentation):
# Set root category priority to DEBUG and its only appender to A1, R.
log4j.rootCategory=DEBUG, R
# A1 is set to be a FileAppender which outputs to System.out.
log4j.appender.A1=org.apache.log4j.FileAppender
log4j.appender.A1.File=System.out
# A1 uses PatternLayout.
log4j.appender.A1.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.A1.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
log4j.appender.R=org.apache.log4j.RollingFileAppender
log4j.appender.R.File=log4j.log
log4j.appender.R.MaxFileSize=100KB
# Keep one backup file
log4j.appender.R.MaxBackupIndex=1
log4j.appender.R.layout=org.apache.log4j.PatternLayout
log4j.appender.R.layout.ConversionPattern=%-4r [%t] %-5p %c %x - %m%n
junit output gets put into a file whose name is based on the package and test being
done, something like
TEST-gscc.objectsTest.DBTest.txt
sample output:
Testsuite: gscc.objectsTest.DBTest
Tests run: 3, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0.16 sec
Testcase: testInvalidSecondConnection took 0.11 sec
Testcase: testValidSecondConnection took 0 sec
Testcase: testNoConnection took 0 sec
log4j output (chopped down some and reflecting various formatting rules):

DEBUG main gscc.objectsTest.DBTest - new DBTest testValidSecondConnection
DEBUG main gscc.objectsTest.DBTest - new DBTest testNoConnection

Inside my D:\jdk1.3.1\jre\lib\ext directory (the java I'm running looks here) I have
the following jars:
junit.jar
jaxp.jar
parser.jar
interclient.jar
I know the latter has nothing to do with ant, junit, etc) but is what is there.
my autoexec.bat (ugly as sin, but look at the list in the classpath)
@C:\PROGRA~1\NORTON~1\NAVDX.EXE /Startup

I hope I don't get flamed for being long winded. I do hope I receive suggestions on
being more efficient and effective. Finally, I
hope this helps someone else trying to wire this up for themselves.
