@Richard - FlexMojos and the Ant task for FlexUnit 4 both work by creating a test SWF which establishes a socket connection with its spawning process to report the results of the tests being executed. In FlexMojos, I believe it's done using the unit testing support library and in Ant it's done by attaching the CIListener to the FlexUnit 4 Core. Unfortunately, there is no way for the Flash Player to write to disk since it operates in the sandbox of the browser. Unless FlexMonkey's AIR application has the ability to execute a series of tests and output test results to their respective files, you'll need to use either Maven or Ant and their respective plugins to execute your tests and have results written to disk. The test SWF by itself is not enough to execute a test run.
FWIW - You may want to post this question on the FlexUnit or FlexMonkey forums for more ideas, although I'll probably be the one answering your question on the FlexUnit forums. Let me if I can help with any of your questions. -Brian On Jun 15, 2:51 pm, Richard Rodseth <[email protected]> wrote: > My QA colleagues are trying to understand how to execute FlexUnit 4-based > functional tests on a maven-free machine that will have the Flash Player and > a browser.
