I am trying to write unit tests for my build. Part of the build that I am testing would create a war, but I do not want a war to be created every time I run the tests. However, I do want to see that the target to build the war was executed.
I am using jUnit to run the ant tasks and am trying to override the target that will create a war, replacing it with a simple property task that I can test against.
The target I am testing looks like:
<target name="determineDeployOrigin" >
<if>
<equals arg1="${buildWar}" arg2="yes" />
<then>
<antcall target="createWar" />
<property name="deploy.origin" value="${deploy.dir}/${deploy.warname}" />
</then>
<else>
<property name="deploy.origin" value="${deploy.webcontent}" />
</else>
</if>
</target>
I am testing this logic in Junit, simply by asserting that "deploy.origin" and "executed.properly" are what I expect after overriding createWar:
@Test
public void determineWarDeployOrigin(){
Target createWar = new Target();
createWar.setName("createWar");
Property createWarTestProperty = new Property();
createWarTestProperty.setProject(project);
createWarTestProperty.setName("executed.properly");
createWarTestProperty.setValue("true");
createWar.addTask(createWarTestProperty);
if(project.getTargets().get("createWar") == null){
fail("createWar target not found in web-deploy.xml");
}
project.addOrReplaceTarget("createWar", createWar);
project.setProperty("buildWar", "yes");
assertNull(project.getProperty("deploy.origin"));
project.executeTarget("setLocalDeployProperties");
project.executeTarget("determineDeployOrigin");
assertEquals("true",project.getProperty("executed.properly"));
assertEquals("C:/builds/local/dist/RCMii.war",project.getProperty("deploy.origin"))
}
The problem is that "executed.properly" is always null, unless I explicitly call execute() on createWarTestProperty task. Is there something that I am doing wrong in creating the createWar target?
Any suggestions are appreciated...
