public class Funtest
extends Task

Task to provide functional testing under Ant, with a fairly complex worflow of:

• Conditional execution
• Application to start
• A probe to "waitfor" before running tests
• A tests sequence
• A reporting sequence that runs after the tests have finished
• A "teardown" clause that runs after the rest.
• Automated termination of the program it executes, if a timeout is not met
• Checking of a failure property and automatic raising of a fault (with the text in failureText) if test shutdown and reporting succeeded

The task is designed to be framework neutral; it will work with JUnit, TestNG and other test frameworks That can be executed from Ant. It bears a resemblance to the FunctionalTest task from SmartFrog, as the attribute names were chosen to make migration easier. However, this task benefits from the ability to tweak Ant's internals, and so simplify the workflow, and from the experience of using the SmartFrog task. No code has been shared.

Since:

Ant 1.8

Method Detail

createCondition

public ConditionBase createCondition()

Add a condition element.

Returns:

ConditionBase.

Since:

Ant 1.6.2

addApplication

public void addApplication(Sequential sequence)

Add an application.

Parameters:

sequence - the application to add.

addSetup

public void addSetup(Sequential sequence)

Add a setup sequence.

Parameters:

sequence - the setup sequence to add.

addBlock

public void addBlock(BlockFor sequence)

Add a block.

Parameters:

sequence - the block for to add.

addTests

public void addTests(Sequential sequence)

add tests.

Parameters:

sequence - a sequence to add.

addReporting

public void addReporting(Sequential sequence)

set reporting sequence of tasks.

Parameters:

sequence - a reporting sequence to use.

addTeardown

public void addTeardown(Sequential sequence)

set teardown sequence of tasks.

Parameters:

sequence - a teardown sequence to use.

setFailOnTeardownErrors

public void setFailOnTeardownErrors(boolean failOnTeardownErrors)

Set the failOnTeardownErrors attribute.

Parameters:

failOnTeardownErrors - the value to use.

setFailureMessage

public void setFailureMessage(java.lang.String failureMessage)

Set the failureMessage attribute.

Parameters:

failureMessage - the value to use.

setFailureProperty

public void setFailureProperty(java.lang.String failureProperty)

Set the failureProperty attribute.

Parameters:

failureProperty - the value to use.

setShutdownTime

public void setShutdownTime(long shutdownTime)

Set the shutdownTime attribute.

Parameters:

setShutdownUnit

public void setShutdownUnit(WaitFor.Unit unit)

Set the shutdownunit attribute.

Parameters:

getApplicationException

public BuildException getApplicationException()

Get the application exception.

Returns:

the application exception.

getTeardownException

public BuildException getTeardownException()

getTestException

public BuildException getTestException()

getTaskException

public BuildException getTaskException()

Get the task exception.

Returns:

the task exception.

execute

public void execute()
             throws BuildException

Run the functional test sequence.

This is a fairly complex workflow -what is going on is that we try to clean up no matter how the run ended, and to retain the innermost exception that got thrown during cleanup. That is, if teardown fails after the tests themselves failed, it is the test failing that is more important.

Overrides:

execute in class Task

Throws:

BuildException - if something was caught during the run or teardown.

processExceptions

protected void processExceptions()

Now faults are analysed.

The priority is

1. testexceptions, except those indicating a build timeout when the application itself failed.
   (because often it is the application fault that is more interesting than the probe failure, which is usually triggered by the application not starting
2. Application exceptions (above test timeout exceptions)
3. Teardown exceptions -except when they are being ignored
4. Test failures as indicated by the failure property

ignoringThrowable

protected void ignoringThrowable(java.lang.String type,
                                 java.lang.Throwable thrown)

log that we are ignoring something rather than rethrowing it.

Parameters:

type - name of exception

thrown - what was thrown
