Hi All

I am playing with o.a.c.components.cron.TestCronJob.

Reading Jeremy's mail, it sounds like this is part test, and part 'BasicCronJob'. Can I suggest that we split the two things apart? Create a BasicCronJob which is configurable to call an arbitrary pipeline, and optionally log the results, and a separate TestCronJob which is there specifically for testing?

I have a working one.
I called it CocoonPipelineCronJob, it is configured from cocoon.xconf with one parameter <pipeline>, this is then called as a 'cocoon://' pipeline.
If the logging level is set to 'info' for 'cron', the output of the pipeline is written to the cron log.

I use it for sending emails, but it could be used for other stuff like updating indexes etc.

I suppose it could be generalised by allowing it to access any source, not just cocoon:// pipelines.

It could be embellished by adding an option to allow it to output the called pipeline to a WriteableSource.

WDYT ?


Incidentally, has anyone looked at using JUnit tests for testing things like this?

I have not.

regards Jeremy
