  1. POHow do I set the working directory for the Ant 'junit' task?
    text
    copied!<p>My Ant build includes a junit task that runs some tests. In order for the tests to work, the value of the property that specifies the current working directory (<code>user.dir</code>) must be changed, but I am unsure how to achieve this.</p> <p>The task in question currently looks like this:</p> <pre><code>&lt;junit printsummary="withOutAndErr" fork="true" haltonfailure="yes" showoutput="true" filtertrace="false" dir="C:/workspace/obp-web"&gt; &lt;jvmarg value="-Duser.dir=C:/workspace/obp-web"/&gt; &lt;classpath&gt; &lt;fileset dir="${web.lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar"/&gt; &lt;fileset dir="${lib.dir}" includes="**/*.jar"/&gt; &lt;/classpath&gt; &lt;batchtest fork="no" todir="${web.build.dir}/testresults"&gt; &lt;formatter type="xml"/&gt; &lt;zipfileset src="${web.build.dir}/test-obp-web.jar"&gt; &lt;include name="**/*Test.class"/&gt; &lt;/zipfileset&gt; &lt;/batchtest&gt; &lt;/junit&gt; </code></pre> <p>Notice that I've tried to use both the "dir" attribute and the "jvmarg" task to change the working directory to C:/workspace/obp-web. However when I run Ant with verbose output turned on, I see the following output, which indicates that the working dir has not been set correctly:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>[junit] dir attribute ignored if running in the same VM</strong></p> <p><strong>[junit] Using System properties</strong> {java.runtime.name=Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment, sun.boot.library.path=c:\jdk6\jre\bin, java.vm.version=10.0-b23, ant.lib rary.dir=C:\java\apache-ant-1.7.0\lib, java.vm.vendor=Sun Microsystems Inc., java.vendor.url=<a href="http://java.sun.com/" rel="noreferrer">http://java.sun.com/</a>, path.separator=;, java.vm.name=Java HotSpot(T M) Client VM, file.encoding.pkg=sun.io, user.country=CA, sun.java.launcher=SUN_STANDARD, sun.os.patch.level=Service Pack 1, java.vm.specification.name=Java Virtual Machine Specification, <strong>user.dir=c:\workspace\obp-ear</strong>, java.runtime.version=1.6.0_07-b06, java.awt.graphicsenv=sun.awt.Win32GraphicsEnvironment, java.endorse d.dirs=c:\jdk6\jre\lib\endorsed, os.arch=x86, java.io.tmpdir=C:\Users\donal\AppData\Local\Temp\, line.separator=</p> </blockquote>
