Can I run perl unit tests under ant jUnit task? How can I handle perl unit tests errors within ant build script?

Question

I'd like to deploy my set of perl scripts by ant.

I'm going to run perl test scripts in the ant build.xml and I want to handle perl errors.

That's why I wonder, how does ant task work?

Does junit parse output of tests?

In this case I can transform TAP output within TAP::Formatter::JUnit CPAN module.

http://search.cpan.org/dist/TAP-Formatter-JUnit/lib/TAP/Formatter/JUnit.pm

Or, may be, ant task handles some system messages.

In this case I will not be able to conjugate perl testing and junit handling.

To say simplier, how can I "implant" perl module installing procedure (I use Module::Build) into my Apache Ant build script to handle perl tests errors?

Answer 1

The testing step returns a non-zero exit code if it failed.
