XMLResultAggregator (Apache Ant API)

org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit

## Class XMLResultAggregator

- java.lang.Object
- - org.apache.tools.ant.ProjectComponent
  - - org.apache.tools.ant.Task
    - - org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLResultAggregator

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.lang.Cloneable, XMLConstants

      public class XMLResultAggregator
      extends Task
      implements XMLConstants

  Aggregates all <junit> XML formatter testsuite data under a specific directory and transforms the results via XSLT. It is not particularly clean but should be helpful while I am thinking about another technique.

  The main problem is due to the fact that a JVM can be forked for a testcase thus making it impossible to aggregate all testcases since the listener is (obviously) in the forked JVM. A solution could be to write a TestListener that will receive events from the TestRunner via sockets. This is IMHO the simplest way to do it to avoid this file hacking thing.

      The default directory: `.`. It is resolved from the project directory
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

      the default file name: `TESTS-TestSuites.xml`
      See Also:
        Constant Field Values

    - #### generatedId

  - ### Constructor Detail

    - #### XMLResultAggregator

          public XMLResultAggregator()

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### createReport

          public AggregateTransformer createReport()

      Generate a report based on the document created by the merge.
      Returns:
        the report

    - #### setTofile

          public void setTofile(java.lang.String value)

      Set the name of the aggregegated results file. It must be relative from the `todir` attribute. If not set it will use `DEFAULT_FILENAME`
      Parameters:
        `value` - the name of the file.
      See Also:
        `setTodir(File)`

    - #### setTodir

          public void setTodir(java.io.File value)

      Set the destination directory where the results should be written. If not set if will use `DEFAULT_DIR`. When given a relative directory it will resolve it from the project directory.
      Parameters:
        `value` - the directory where to write the results, absolute or relative.

    - #### addFileSet

      Get the full destination file where to write the result. It is made of the `todir` and `tofile` attributes.

      Create a DOM tree. Has 'testsuites' as firstchild and aggregates all testsuite results that exists in the base directory.

      Returns:
        the root element of DOM tree that aggregates all testsuites.

    - #### addTestSuite

          protected void addTestSuite(org.w3c.dom.Element root,
                          org.w3c.dom.Element testsuite)

      Add a new testsuite node to the document. The main difference is that it split the previous fully qualified name into a package and a name.

      For example: `org.apache.Whatever` will be split into `org.apache` and `Whatever`.

      Parameters:
        `root` - the root element to which the `testsuite` node should be appended.
        `testsuite` - the element to append to the given root. It will slightly modify the original node to change the name attribute and add a package one.
