Now I got it but I think this is really nice to have. just but cmd+q and the app is closed and flex unit tests could exit automatically.

I’m running an ant build from eclipse that launches the ADL, if I run it when the ADL is still running it fails. It’s just a little annoyance that if I could fix I would.

Peter, I think I don’t get what you want to achieve. What would be the usecase for this?

Sonke, thanks for putting this together and sharing.

I was trying to figure out if there’s a way to quit the ADL with ant, don’t suppose you could comment? (Using a mac, thinking maybe have to use it in conjunction with applescript somehow?)

thanks for putting this together it was exactly what I was looking for. the ant script and test application are both easy to understand for me. I am not much of a ANT or unit testing guru.

HI,

#1 here I must apologies and explain that I have deviated from the shipped build.xml . I am using a properties file that defines the reports.dir using a location with no reference to the ${basedir}

e.g. effetively, as it’s actually built up of other props, in build/properties ultimately ends up being:

reports.dir=dist/docs/reports

I assume then that ${basedir} expands to the fully qualified native path, so perhaps I should have done that. Although what I am tryin isn’t unusual, I thought.

Regards
Wayne

to #1: but when can use a reletive dir with the ant variable {basedir} or what am I missing?

to #2: I will check this when I have time again but at I am glad you were able to solve it.

Hi,

#1 I was calling it directly whilst trouble shooting. I dint want an abolute dir and it failed to work without that addtional code I put it, it appears to truncate the path to all but the leafnode/dir. I tried variaous combinations of path separator, I will revist.

#2 Ant would not set the ‘ADL’ variable to …/ADL.exe for reasons I just can not explain, I also tried os family=’winnt’, however it would not work. Hence my change.

Wayne,
you are calling adl via command line and the example uses {basedir}/reports as the output directory which should work fine. When you want to specify an abolsute dir you sould use “/” instead of backslash.

to #2: the os is handled by ant so this part of the build script should handle the link to adl:
