Charlie Groves commented on MSUREFIRE-122: ------------------------------------------ Have we hit enough votes to start integrating this? > Support tests written in Jython > ------------------------------- > > Key: MSUREFIRE-122 > URL: http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/MSUREFIRE-122 > Project: Maven 2.x Surefire Plugin > Type: New Feature > Reporter: Charlie Groves > Attachments: jythonProvider.tar.gz > > > I've written a first pass at a surefire-provider for JUnit and Python > unittest TestCases written in Jython. Before I continue any further I'd like > to make sure that the provider is wanted and that I'm heading in the right > direction. > To do the minimum to get it up and running, I've hooked into the > maven-surefire-plugin to hook my provider into the system somewhat like the > TestNG provider did. maven-surefire-plugin passes a path(defaults to > src/test/jython) to the provider. The provider searches the path for files > matching include patterns and loads those as Python modules. For every class > in the matching modules that extends junit or unittest TestCase, it makes a > SurefireTestSuite and exposes them for running. Sound like a decent approach? > To give it a spin, apply maven-surefire-plugin.patch, mvn install on the > surefire-jython project and run mvn test in jythonProviderTest. It's just > contains a single Junit testcase with a failing and passing test. > I haven't even checked what happens when the jython tests throw exceptions, > and I know there's alot to be done as far as making it a usable plugin, but I > felt like getting some feedback before continuing. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://jira.codehaus.org/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
