    <title>AntUnit Ant Library</title>

  <body>
    <h2>Introduction</h2>

    <p>This is a library of Ant tasks that support writing tests for
    tasks using build files instead of JUnit.</p>

    <h2>Requirements</h2>

    <p>The current version requires Ant 1.7.0 or later.</p>

    <h2>Where is it?</h2>

    <p>The source code for the library lives in the
    ant-antlibs-antunit git repository - <a
    href="https://git1-us-west.apache.org/repos/asf?p=ant-antlibs-antunit.git">https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/ant-antlibs-antunit.git</a>.</p>

    <h2>Installation</h2>

    <p>If you are building this from sources, run the antlib target
    and you'll get a file <code>ant-antunit.jar</code>.</p>

    <p>There are several ways to use the tasks:</p>

    <ul>
      <li>The traditional way:
        <pre>
          &lt;taskdef 
            resource="org/apache/ant/antunit/antlib.xml"&gt;
            &lt;classpath&gt;
              &lt;pathelement location="YOUR-PATH-TO/ant-antunit.jar"/&gt;
            &lt;/classpath&gt;
          &lt;/taskdef&gt;
        </pre>

        With this you can use the tasks like plain Ant tasks, they'll
        live in the default namespace.  I.e. if you can run
        &lt;exec&gt; without any namespace prefix, you can do so for
        &lt;antunit&gt; as well.
      </li>

      <li>Similar, but assigning a namespace URI
        <pre>
          &lt;taskdef 
            uri="antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit"
            resource="org/apache/ant/antunit/antlib.xml"&gt;
            &lt;classpath&gt;
              &lt;pathelement location="YOUR-PATH-TO/ant-antunit.jar"/&gt;
            &lt;/classpath&gt;
          &lt;/taskdef&gt;
        </pre>

        This puts you task into a separate namespace than Ant's
        namespace.  You would use the tasks like

        <pre>
          &lt;project
            xmlns:au="antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit"
            xmlns="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant"&gt;
            ...
            &lt;au:assertTrue&gt;
              &lt;equals arg1="1" arg2="2"/&gt;
            &lt;/au:assertTrue&gt;
        </pre>

        or a variation thereof.
      </li>

      <li>Using Ant's autodiscovery.  Place <code>ant-antunit.jar</code>
      into a directory and use <code>ant -lib
      DIR-CONTAINING-THE-JAR</code> or copy it into
      <code>ANT_HOME/lib</code> - and then in your build file, simply
      declare the namespace on the <code>project</code> tag:

        <pre>
          &lt;project
            xmlns:au="antlib:org.apache.ant.antunit"
            xmlns="antlib:org.apache.tools.ant"&gt;
        </pre>

        And all tasks of this library will automatically be available
        in the <code>au</code> namespace without any
        <code>taskdef</code>.
      </li>
    </ul>

    <h2>Tasks and Types</h2>

    <ul>
      <li><a href="antunit.html">antunit</a> - run unit tests, the
      tests are defined using build files that contain targets which
      follow a certain naming convention.  This task borrows a lot of
      ideas from JUnit 3 and the junit task.</li>

      <li><a href="assert.html">assertTrue</a> - asserts a condition
      and throws a custom BuildException if the assertion fails.</li>

      <li><a href="assertions.html">more assertions</a> - useful
      specialized versions of assertTrue.</li>

      <li><a href="expectfailure.html">expectfailure</a> - a task
      container useful for tests that assert build failures.</li>

      <li><a href="logcontent.html">logcontent</a> - an Ant Resource
      that contains the log output of an AntUnit test.</li>
    </ul>
