flexunit running swf from ant in browser error

[delaliD]

I am folloing this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/633277?decorator=print&displayFullThread=true

and have the same need.  I would like to have ant pull up a browser and run the unit tests.

I am running

-flex 3.5

-flexunit: 4.1.0-RC1.27

<target name="run-flex-unit">

  <flexunit

      player="flash"

      workingDir=${dist.dir}

      toDir="${dist.dir}/reports"

      haltonfailure="false"

      verbose="true"

      localTrusted="true"

      swf="https://localhost:port/path/FlexUnitApplication.swf"

      command="C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe">

   </flexunit>

</target>

When I run flexunit in ant during the "Validating task attributes..." phase it I get the following error:

"The provided 'swf' property value could not be found.

Based on the write up here: http://docs.flexunit.org/index.php?title=Ant_Task#Setup_your_environment  I think I have things set up correctly, but flexunit still doesn't seem to like the swf url vs a file location.  This thread seemed to suggest it was fixed in flexunit 4.1?

Any insight on this?

@delaliD - Doh, no JIRA issue was ever created for this feature request, so it didn't make it into 4.1.  I'll have to look into how difficult this would be to support and talk to the team about putting it into RC2.  I'll let you know what I can find out.

Brian,

DOH!

Please keep me posted, we really need this feature.

Thanks!

Brian,

In org.flexunit.ant.tasks.configuration.TaskConfiguration

Lines 123-126:

public void setSwf(String swf)
{
   testRunConfiguration.setSwf(project.resolveFile(swf));
}

Perhaps a check to see if the swf is a URL before calling project.resolveFile on it?

Since I have the command property set, the browser should try to open the url when loaded. No?

@delaliD - Right now there are a lot of sub-componets in the task which use the location of the swf file to generate files.  Additionally, work will have to be put into making sure LocalTrust isn't generated since it's connecting over the network; we'll also have to validate that ADL doesn't use URLs due to the the app descriptor.  I was thinking of a Swf class type that could tell me if it was a URL or a File and then making the sub-components sensitive to the new interface.

On a separate note, if I can get the fix in by this weekend, it will go out with RC2, but it's a pretty swamped week and weekend, so I'm unsure.  I'll keep this thread updated with my progress.

Brian,

Not sure if you were able to get to this?

In any case, I did want to confirm that a JIRA ticket was created this time?  Any ETA on this fearure?

@delaliD - Unfortunately, I'm still swamped.  No ETA and no-one has created a ticket in JIRA from what I can tell.  Could you throw one out there?

[delaliD]

sure...what's the link to your jira?

[legrosb]

You can find the link to JIRA on the Resources wiki page @ http://docs.flexunit.org/index.php?title=Resources.  The direct link is https://bugs.adobe.com/jira/browse/fxu.
