[AntUnit] Can I write the <logcontent/> to a file?

[Keith Hatton]

Hi all,
 
I'm trying to use the AntUnit framework to test some custom Ant tasks.
Unfortunately it's proving very much a black box, and when a test fails
I can't find any Ant log for the test case. I've read the AntUnit
documentation on the <logcontent/> resource, and I obviously didn't
fully understand it.
 
I've tried the following within my test case:
                <concat destfile="antunit.log">
                    <au:logcontent/>
                </concat>

but that doesn't produce any log at all, there is no antunit.log file.
 
If I try the same code within my <antunit> task in the main build file,
the build fails, stating that <concat> cannot be used within the
<antunit> task.
 
What is the right way to get generic access to the log of the test case?
 
Thanks
Keith

This should work when used inside the build file that is containing
the tests and inside a target that is currently being executed.

AntUnit svn trunk extends the listener concept so that listeners now
receive the log output of the project under test as well.
