Ant report generation (junitreport)

[Daryl Fernandez]

Hi guys, I'm trying to configure ant to generate jUnit report , I was able to create HTML file in my reports folder. but the problem is the html that was generated has no text on summary of the test case performed.

Generating jUnit reports in ANT need xalan jar for transforming XML documents into HTML, I already included xalan.jar in my ANT lib folder.. But still doesn't work..
Any clue or suggestion what might be the cause of the problem? Thanks

Below is the code of my junit report:

<target name="test-reports" description="Generate test reports">
        <mkdir dir="${test.dir}/reports"/>
        <junitreport tofile="TESTS-TestSuites.xml" todir="${dist.dir}">
            <fileset dir="${dist.dir}">
                <include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
            </fileset>
            <report format="frames" todir="${test.dir}/reports"/>
        </junitreport>
        <echo level="info">
			Test reports generated at ${test.dir}/reports
        </echo>
 </target>  

BTW, Im using ant 1.8 version.

Thanks in advance..

Hi Daryl and welcome to Javaranch!

Are you seeing any error messages? Have you tried running ANT in verbose mode? You can often get a hint there as to what is going wrong...

One thing to check would be if the fileset really includes all the files you think it does.

@ Ulf Dittmer
in my fileset "<fileset dir="${dist.dir}">" there is no xml generated by test..

In what i know the every Test classes would make xml. And the xml will be the bases in creation of TESTS-TestSuites.xml to create reports..

Here is what im doing in "test"

  <target name="test" depends=" compile-src, compile-test, fileSet">
   <junit failureproperty="junit.failed" printsummary="true" haltonfailure="true" >

      <formatter type="brief" usefile="false" />
     <!-- <test name="test/com/company/project/model/PersonTest" /> -->
	 <classpath refid="classpath.jUnit" />
	 <batchtest todir="release">
                <fileset dir="jUnit">
                  
				    <include name="**/*Test.class"/>
                    <include name="**/Test*.class"/>

                </fileset>
     </batchtest>
    </junit>
	<fail message="JUnit test failure." if="junit.failed"/> 
  </target>

found the solution..

I put <formatter type="xml"/> and the XML of testCases i needed for TESTS-TestSuites.xml it generated like magic.. hejehe

   <target name="test" depends=" compile-src, compile-test, fileSet">  
    <junit failureproperty="junit.failed" printsummary="true" haltonfailure="true" >  
   
       <formatter type="brief" usefile="false" />  
        <formatter type="xml"/>                                  <!-- PUT HERE MISSING CODE -->
      <!-- <test name="test/com/company/project/model/PersonTest" /> -->  
      <classpath refid="classpath.jUnit" />  
      <batchtest todir="release">  
                 <fileset dir="jUnit">  
                     
                     <include name="**/*Test.class"/>  
                     <include name="**/Test*.class"/>  
   
                 </fileset>  
      </batchtest>  
     </junit>  
     <fail message="JUnit test failure." if="junit.failed"/>   
   </target>

Thanks Ulf Dittmer and Martijn Verburg for the Help..
