JUnit - ANT plug-in

JUnit - ANT plug-in

In this example, we'll show you how to run JUnit with ANT. L et's follow these steps:

Step 1: Download Apache Ant

Download Apache ANT

Step 2: Set up the Ant environment

Set ANT_HOME environment variables to point to the basic file address stored in the machine by the ANT library. For example, we've stored the ANT library in the apache-ant-1.8.4 folder for different operating systems.

Attaching the ANT compiler address to the system path is as follows for different operating systems:

Step 3: Download Junit Archive

Download JUnit Archive

Step 4: Create a project structure

• In C: Create a folder JUNIT_WORKSPACE TestJunitWithAnt in this folder
• In C: Create a folder JUNIT_WORKSPACE src in TestJunitWithAnt
• In C: Create a JUNIT_WORKSPACE test in TestJunitWithAnt
• In C: Create a folder lib JUNIT_WORKSPACE in TestJunitWithAnt
• In C: The MessageUtil JUNIT_WORKSPACE is created in the TestJunitWithAnt and src folder

/*
* This class prints the given message on console.
*/
public class MessageUtil {

   private String message;

   //Constructor
   //@param message to be printed
   public MessageUtil(String message){
      this.message = message; 
   }

   // prints the message
   public String printMessage(){
      System.out.println(message);
      return message;
   }   

   // add "Hi!" to the message
   public String salutationMessage(){
      message = "Hi!" + message;
      System.out.println(message);
      return message;
   }   
}

• In C: The Test JUNIT_WORKSPACE MessageUtil class is created in the TestJunitWithAnt and src folder.

import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.Ignore;
import static org.junit.Assert.assertEquals;

public class TestMessageUtil {

   String message = "Robert";   
   MessageUtil messageUtil = new MessageUtil(message);

   @Test
   public void testPrintMessage() { 
      System.out.println("Inside testPrintMessage()");     
      assertEquals(message,messageUtil.printMessage());
   }

   @Test
   public void testSalutationMessage() {
      System.out.println("Inside testSalutationMessage()");
      message = "Hi!" + "Robert";
      assertEquals(message,messageUtil.salutationMessage());
   }
}

• In C: C opy junit-JUNIT_WORKSPACE 4.10 in the TestJunitWithAnt and lib folder .jar.

Create an ANT Build .xml

We will use the tasks in ANT to perform our junit test sample.

<project name="JunitTest" default="test" basedir=".">
   <property name="testdir" location="test" />
   <property name="srcdir" location="src" />
   <property name="full-compile" value="true" />
   <path id="classpath.base"/>
   <path id="classpath.test">
      <pathelement location="/lib/junit-4.10.jar" />
      <pathelement location="${testdir}" />
      <pathelement location="${srcdir}" />
      <path refid="classpath.base" />
   </path>
   <target name="clean" >
      <delete verbose="${full-compile}">
         <fileset dir="${testdir}" includes="**/*.class" />
      </delete>
   </target>
   <target name="compile" depends="clean">
      <javac srcdir="${srcdir}" destdir="${testdir}" 
         verbose="${full-compile}">
         <classpath refid="classpath.test"/>
      </javac>
   </target>
   <target name="test" depends="compile">
      <junit>
         <classpath refid="classpath.test" />
         <formatter type="brief" usefile="false" />
         <test name="TestMessageUtil" />
      </junit>
   </target>
</project>

Run the following ant command

C:\JUNIT_WORKSPACE\TestJunitWithAnt>ant

Verify the output.
