Class AntTestBase

  • Direct Known Subclasses:
    CodeComplianceTest

    abstract class AntTestBase
    extends TestCase
    Base class for tests that execute Ant targets. Sub-classes should invoke runAntTest(String) to run an Ant target. If the Ant sub-process cannot be started of if it returns an exit code that indicates error, the test fails.

    AntTestBase makes the following assumptions about its run-time environment:

    1. Ant can be invoked by executing ant. That is, ant is on the current PATH.
    2. The version of Ant on the PATH is new enough to execute the build.xml script.
    3. The test is being invoked in the root directory (e.g. //open/mondrian) as the current directory or a subdirectory of it.
     REVIEW: SWZ: 3/11/2006: This class is not portable to Windows.  Potential
     solutions:
     1) Check for Windows via System properties and invoke
        "command.com ant.bat [target]" (or whatever's necessary) when the OS is
        Windows.
     2) Require Ant libraries be on the classpath and invoke Ant's API
        directly.  This is preferred, since it should be OS neutral.
