Test Page Template

Test Page Template: Ant/Testing/Test Plan Template.

This template must be used to create a new test page for each release that requires testing.

Any new features that are added to the test script must also be added to the feature list section of the template.

Testing Notes

All tests should be done with resource names of varying length, specifically resource names of length one must be tested (the cause of bug 323588).

Test Passes

Example Build Files

A DBCS build file using Shift_JIS encoding and Japanese characters:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Shift_JIS"?>
<project name="jp_shiftjis_test" default="エコー Hello World">
  <target name="エコー Hello World">
    <echo message="こんにちは!"/>
  </target>
 
  <target name="名前の変更 xml to txt" >
    <echo message="私は名前を変更しました。I rename xml to txt"/>
    <move file="Test.xml" tofile="Test.txt"/>
  </target>
</project>

A DBCS build file using UTF-8 encoding and Japanese characters:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project name="jp_utf8_test" default="エコー Hello World">
  <target name="エコー Hello World">
    <echo message="こんにちは!"/>
  </target>
 
  <target name="名前の変更 xml to txt" >
    <echo message="私は名前を変更しました。I rename xml to txt"/>
    <move file="Test.xml" tofile="Test.txt"/>
  </target>
</project>

A build file using the Augment task

<project>
	<path id="path1"/>
	<resource id="resource1"/>
	<propertyset id="property1"/>
	<target name="augment">
		<augment id="path1">
			<pathelement location="/foo"/>
		</augment>
	</target>
</project>

A build file using the extension-point target

<project default="ep-B">
    <target name="A" />
    <extension-point name="ep-B" depends="A" />
    <target name="B" extensionOf="ep-B" depends="D" />
    <target name="C" depends="ep-B" />
    <target name="D" />
</project>

      • mark occurrences should find occurrences
    • use the augment task
      • content assist should be available
      • mark occurrences should find occurrences
      • should not throw exception if referencing unknown id
  • Folding
    • make use of the editor context ruler menu
    • key binding actions: Expand All, Enable folding
    • folding is presented for all the partitions in the Ant buildfile. Partion hover is correct.
  • Navigation
    • properties (from files as well)
    • targets
    • referenced elements
    • macrodefs, taskdefs
    • enable / disable
    • key Modifier and modifier manipulation (preference page)
    • links presented for all reasonable Ant elements
  • Mark Occurrences
    • respecting preference and editor toolbar setting to mark occurrences
    • sticky occurrences setting
    • ensure targets references are correctly highlighted
    • ensure properties references are correctly highlighted
  • Content Assist
    • should respect global preferences for auto-completion, activation, colouring, etc
    • should offer reasonable completions
    • templates should be available and work when applied and run
  • Performance
    • "large" taskdefs (ant-contrib) in Ant Editor
    • "large" imports (need to generate test case) in Ant Editor
    • "large" properties (need to generate test case) in Ant Editor
  • Encoding
    • using an encoded build file like one of the ones from #Example Build Files make sure the editor displays the text correctly. On Windows, make sure you have any required language packs installed and that your default encoding has been set correctly

Ant View

  • General
    • context menu actions
    • DnD
    • add / removal
    • search
    • running targets (default and otherwise)
    • navigation to targets with selection for normal, external entities and imported targets
  • Ant 1.8.x
    • Augment task - should show the element it augments as its child
  • Auto Reconcile
    • ensure correct functionality on / off (use the editor toolbar action with the "refresh" icon)
    • reconcile triggered on save
  • Encoding
    • using an encoded build file like one of the ones from #Example Build Files make sure the names of tasks / types / etc. display properly. On Windows, make sure you have any required language packs installed and that your default encoding has been set correctly

Debugging

  • Buildfiles in the same JRE
    • breakpoints (check target breakpoints as well)
    • stepping (step into, step over for constructs like antcall and ant)
    • dependency stack
    • suspend / resume / terminate
    • run to line support
    • properties update correctly in the variables view
  • Buildfiles in a separate JRE
    • breakpoints (check target breakpoints as well)
    • stepping (step into, step over for constructs like antcall and ant)
    • dependency stack
    • suspend / resume / terminate
    • run to line support
    • properties update correctly in the variables view
  • Encoding
    • using an encoded build file like one of the ones from #Example Build Files make sure the console output from tasks / types / etc. display properly. On Windows, make sure you have any required language packs installed and that your default encoding has been set correctly

Import / Export

  • Export a Java Project to a buildfile containing a javac task etc.

On Windows, make sure you have any required language packs installed and that your default encoding has been set correctly

External Tools

  • Tool Builders
    • migration from 2.0, 3.0 (with and without prompting)
    • Java projects and simple projects
    • add / remove (ensure cleanup on disk)
    • rename on creation and as an edit (ensure cleanup on disk)
    • executing an Ant build and program
    • same VM / separate VM
    • making use of environment variables
    • Ant builders set to execute different targets for different build kinds (Ant builder target tab)
      • auto - ensure only the targets specified in Auto Build are executed, except for immediately following a clean command, in which case After a Clean targets should be executed.
      • manual - with target(s) set in After a Clean, Manual Build targets should only be executed for manual incremental builds. With no target(s) set for After a Clean, Manual Build targets should run following a clean command AND manual incremental builds.
      • after a clean - ensure these targets are executed in the build immediately following a clean command, unless you set no targets to be executed, in which case the targets from Manual Build should be executed.
      • on a clean - ensure these targets are executed DURING the clean, and that After a Clean targets are executed on the following build.
    • program builders triggered on clean (Build option tab)
    • migration of existing builders to new format (3.0.1 builder to 3.1 builder only)

Headless Builds

  • Run a headless build, ensuring that:
    • no UI is started
    • no exceptions occur without a UI
    • the build does not fail (unexpectedly)

Headless External Tools

  • Run a headless external tool, ensuring that
    • no UI (from Eclipse) is started
    • no exceptions occur without a UI
    • the tool does not fail (unexpectedly)

Refactoring

  • In the Ant Editor
    • Rename in File (Alt-Shift-R) - ensure linked mode is correct and edits are executed correctly
  • Rename Projects
    • build files should be updated
    • Ant launch configurations should be updated
  • Rename Buildfiles
    • build files should be updated
    • Ant launch configurations should be updated

    • ignoring errors / problems

Test Suite

All tests should run without failure, and should be runnable individually

  • launch the Ant core test suite from org.eclipse.ant.tests.core
  • launch the Ant ui test suites from org.eclipse.ant.tests.ui
