Running tests by using an Ant task

You can create the Ant task in one of two ways:

• You can create a custom script.
• You can automatically generate a script. See Generating Ant scripts to run tests or suites.

To create a custom script, open a text file and define the Ant task, as in the following example:

  <taskdef classname="com.ghc.ghTester.ant.RunTests" name="IntegrationTester" classpathref="rittasklib">
 

Here is an example of the syntax:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<project basedir="C:/Users/user/git/UATest_Sample/calculator" default="run-integrationtester">
   
   <property name="install.dir" value="C:\Program Files\HCL\DevOpsTestAPI"/>
   
   <taskdef classname="com.ghc.ghTester.ant.RunTests" name="IntegrationTester">
      <classpath>
         <fileset dir="${install.dir}/tools/Ant">
            <include name="*.jar"/>
         </fileset>
      </classpath>
   </taskdef>
   
   <target name="run-integrationtester">
      <IntegrationTester environment="UATest" project="${basedir}/calculator.ghp" processStartupTimeout="60">
         <Tests>
            <Test ref="calculator/Add/Test 1 plus 1 equals 2"/>
         </Tests>
         
         <AppProperties>
            <!--
            <property name="example.system.property" value="exampleValue"/>
            -->
         </AppProperties>
   
         <AdditionalOptions>
            <!--
            <option name="-overrideSlowFail" value="ON" />
            -->
         </AdditionalOptions>      
         
      </IntegrationTester>
   </target>
   
</project>
