Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Debugging Unit Tests
This sounds like a great idea..I usually use eclipse and unit tests running there and use the eclipse debugger to test stuff.. But doing it in ant will be very useful in cases where running unit tests in a specfic order causes the test to fail. Our continuous build system runs the tests via ant and in some instances ant picks up the unit tests in a order different from what eclipse picks up the unit tests. Problem there is that we cannot pickup which test is causing this error becasue the tests run fine in eclipse Using Jdob's approach this issue can be debugged much easier...

Re: [Spacewalk-devel] Debugging Unit Tests
Ideally test-debug should be the target name instead of test. way more convenient IMHO :) Jesus Rodriguez wrote: On Tue, Feb 03, 2009 at 05:35:58PM -0500, Jason Dobies wrote: I'm not sure how others do it (or if this is commonly known), but I was looking to attach a debugger to ant as it runs my test cases.

I just added it but you have to do -Dtestdebug=true. I couldn't get it to work with just -Dtestdebug :) ___ Spacewalk-devel mailing list Spacewalk-devel@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/spacewalk-devel
