Running FlexUnit4 tests in Hudson with ant

Question

I'm just starting to try figure out how to go about continuous integration and test driven development, specifically in Flex 4.

I'd like to run FlexUnit4 tests from an ant script initiated in Hudson. I can get hudson to compile my app but how do I then go about running/seeing results of my tests?

Answer 1

We run our flash/flex tests on hudson by using the command-line AIR test runner that is running a wrapped version of our flash/flex test application and having that write out a file in the jUnit file format. Hudson can make a nice visualisation if you use that format.

If you are on a linux host you've got to remember to set up Xvfb to give AIR a 'screen', otherwise it will not work.

Google 'hudson air unittest' or for example http://www.subotnik.com/blog/?p=100 for more.

Answer 2

One of the developers from the FlexUnit4 team has suggested a solution using ant/maven on the adobe forums. I'm trying this out now.

Answer 3

I did get this working, based on these answers I got from over on the adobe forums:
