The Ant Team is proud to announce the first Beta release of
Apache AntUnit 1.0.
Sorry I have a question that is half Groovy and half AntUnit related.
It is also half user/half dev related. I am wanting to know the best
way to use the API (and potentially some normally internal pieces).
I was trying to create an AntUnit example with Groovy - mainly just
to check out some namespace support which has just been added to
Groovy's AntBuilder and currently have the following example working:
import org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.Antlib
def ant = new AntBuilder()
def url = this.class.getResource('org/apache/ant/antunit/antlib.xml')
Antlib.createAntlib(ant.project, url,
'antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit').execute()
ant.assertFileDoesntExist(file:'copytest1.tmp')
ant.copy(file:'antunit.groovy', tofile:'copytest1.tmp')
ant.assertFileExists(file:'copytest1.tmp')
ant.delete(file:'copytest1.tmp')
Groovy includes an AntBuilder class which allows Ant build files to
be expressed as Groovy notation. It also has its own lifecycle which
I guess is bootstrapped slightly differently to the normal launcher.
I am not asking this group about the Groovy side of things but I
am interested in an opinion on what is the best way to do this
from an Ant perspective.
Does the "Antlib.createAntlib" part look like a violation of what
I should be doing from an Ant perspective? AntBuilder doesn't normally
involve explicitly creating anything equivalent to the project or
target - these are done under the covers.
Also, I was expecting to have to muck around with namespaces but they
just dissappeared from the example at the moment. (Not sure this is a
good thing or not.)
Cheers, Paul.
