How to generate Lime tests in xUnit format and integrate them with Cruise Control?

Install the plugin

• download and put the attached file to this page in the plugins directory.

• add the plugin to "enabled_modules" in settings.yml of your application (frontend|backend).

• modify the following variables to the needs of your project in app.yml of your application:
  • app_test4cruise_lime_file: path to the lime.php file in Symfony
  • app_test4cruise_sg_lime_file: path to the extended library
  • app_test4cruise_log: path to generated log file (by default in sf_log_dir/xunit/log4cruise.xml)

• you should be able to launch the pake task and get a xml file in the right directory:

      symfony sg-test4cruise (frontend|backend)
  

How to setup CruiseControl

• first start with How to setup CruiseControl for PHPUnit

• then modify:

  <exec dir="${basedir}/My_Project/test/" executable="phpunit" failonerror="true">
    <arg line="--log-xml ${basedir}/logs/phpunit_all.xml AllTest" />
  </exec>

with

  <exec dir="${basedir}/My_Project/test/" executable="php" failonerror="true">
    <arg line="symfony sg-test4cruise (frontend|backend)" />
  </exec>

and

  <delete dir="My_Project" />
  <cvs cvsRoot=":ext:cruise@cvs:/var/opt/cvs"
       command="co My_Project" reallyquiet="true" />

with

  <exec executable="svn">
    <arg line="update --username ''username'' --password ''password'' http://''your/project''/trunk/ /''your/project''/checkout/" />
  </exec>

(you can also maybe try to connect cruise control with SVN this way: http://cruisecontrol.sourceforge.net/main/configxml.html#svn)

• launch cruisecontrol.sh and if everything is fine, you should get your first build and results of your tests. Congratulations!

• to put CruiseControl as a daemon (don't forget to edit the file and modify the first few lines of the file depending of the configuration of your server)

• to export the results in Trac and to synchronize the files
