Bug 52237

Summary: build.xml file improvement to allow not just plaintext junit logs.
Product: Tomcat 7 Reporter: mhasko
Component: PackagingAssignee: Tomcat Developers Mailing List <dev>
Status: RESOLVED FIXED    
Severity: normal    
Priority: P2    
Version: trunk

OS: Linux   
Attachments: the patch

Description mhasko 2011-11-24 11:30:21 UTC 
MOTIVATION:
* be able to generate xml logs from JUnit tests (can then be transformed to html)
* reuse as much code as available

IMPLEMENTATION:
* added <property name="junit.formatter.type" value="plain"/>
* added <property name="junit.formatter.extension" value=".txt"/>
* removed the default '.txt' junit logs extension
* changed the junit <formatter> to use junit.formatter.{type|extension} properties

USAGE:
* custom build file including the original one:
<project name="importing" basedir="." default="deploy">
  <import file="build.xml"/>
  <target name="test-xml">
    <antcall target="test">
      <param name="junit.formatter.type" value="xml"/>
      <param name="junit.formatter.extension" value=".xml"/>
    </antcall>
  </target>
</project>

Patch based on 'trunk' branch revision 1205789

Please change the 'Component' field if necessary. 'Packaging' seemed to be the most appropriate for build.xml changes.

Patch applied to trunk and 7.0.x and it will be included in 7.0.24 onwards.

Many thanks for the patch.
Comment 3 Konstantin Kolinko 2012-01-09 19:25:11 UTC 
With r1229314 I added one more configurable property to this:

junit.formatter.usefile

It will be in 7.0.24 as well.
