No output from Checkstyle in ANT - ant

I am not using an automated build tool. Just Checkstyle 5.5 and ANT 1.8.
I am trying to have Checkstyle run in my ANT script. The ANT script executes without error, but doesn't seem to call Checkstyle. I get no output except ANT reports BUILD SUCCESSFUL.
Here is my ant script:
<project name="ccu" xmlns:cs="antlib:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle">
<target name="checkstyle" description="Generates a report of code convention violations.">
<cs:checkstyle config="custom_check.xml">
<fileset dir="src" casesensitive="yes">
<include name="**/*.java"/>
</fileset>
<!--
<fileset dir="src" includes="**\*.java"/>
-->
</cs:checkstyle>
</target>
</project>
what am i missing?

It was a classpath problem. For some reason I needed to direct the ANT classpath to the class files not the jar.
My final script looks like this:
<project name="ccu" xmlns:cs="antlib:com.puppycrawl.tools.checkstyle">
<taskdef resource="checkstyletask.properties">
<classpath>
<pathelement location="C:\myClasses\bin"/>
<pathelement location="C:\checkstyle-5.5\checkstyle-5.5-all.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<checkstyle config="custom_check.xml">
<fileset dir="src" includes="**/*.java"/>
</checkstyle>
</project>

Continuous Integration - Jenkins not invoking WedDriver test

I'm trying to use jenkins to run selenium webdriver test (continuous integration) but so far I've had no success at all. My setup:
- eclipse
- testng
- ant (build.xml files)
- jenkins
- everything is hosted locally
I'm running my test in parallel (1 test, 3 browsers) and this works fine if I run the testng file, if I run the ant file (build.xml) it says 'build successful' but nothing happens if also run this same file in jenkins it says the same thing 'build successful' but again nothing happens. From this I can deduce that jenkins is running the correct file but its just not executing the test. I've even tried to use maven but I don't understand it so the code doesn't even compile when I take this route.
Can someone help me and point me in the right direction because I believe I'm missing something. I've included a photo of my jenkins set and below is a copy of my ant file:

I can explain you the way I have done it in jenkins, maven and code. It should be pretty much similar with ant. This should certainly make jenkins fire your tests.
In code:
Create test suite class like below
#RunWith(Suite.class)
#Suite.SuiteClasses
({
Test1.class,
Test2.class
})
public class UnitTestSuite{}
In maven: use maven-surefire-plugin in pom.xml as below:
<!-- TEST -->
<plugin>
<!-- Runs the unit tests. -->
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>${surefire.version}</version>
<configuration>
<includes>
<include>**/UnitTestSuite.java</include>
</includes>
</configuration>
</plugin>
and finally in jenkins build section set goals as
clean install -e -Dmaven.test.failure.ignore=false
Try modifying your ant file by adding in target "jenkins_run_selenium" as below:
<target name="jenkins_run_selenium">
<mkdir dir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
<junit fork="yes" printsummary="withOutAndErr">
<formatter type="xml"/>
<test name="tests.MyUnitTests" todir="${junit.output.dir}"/>
<classpath refid="jenkins_run_selenium.classpath"/>
</junit>
</target>
Refer https://stackoverflow.com/a/4760714/1712272 if you want to run all tests in batch

Ant - Junit - eclipse - build.xml - java.lang.ClassNotFoundException error

I am new to Ant and getting java.lang.ClassNotFoundException. when running my Junit from eclipse / Ant build.xml, However, when running my unit test from eclipse by itself my test passes with no issue. There should be something wrong with my classpath which i cannot figure out.

You don't have any step in your build script to compile the unit tests, and when you tell JUnit to run, you also don't include the compiled classes in the classpath - only the source files.
There are therefore 2 things you need to do:
Add an additional build step similar to the following
<target name="test-compile" depends="compile">
<javac includeantruntime="false" srcdir="./test" destdir="./test-classes" />
</target>
then change your current unitTest target to depend on test-compile rather than compile.
Tell JUnit where your classes are, not your source code. Change your testCode and srcCode properties to
<property name="testCode">C:/Users/Armen/workspace/MockingObjects/test-classes</property>
<property name="srcCode">C:/Users/Armen/workspace/MockingObjects/staging</property>
Note From your compile and run steps, it isn't clear if your code is properly structured in Java Packages or, if it is in packages, that you understand how these work. I've made the assumption that your code is in a package of demo and therefore stripped that part of the path out of your compiled class locations.

Java task cannot find classpath

I have a small program that displays some database tables. The program has a class with a main() method. I have an ant script that builds and runs the program.
The ant script is able to build the program and runs its tests but not run it. When i run it I get the following error:
[java] Could not find com.my.MyProgram. Make sure you have it in your classpath
[java] at org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.ExecuteJava.execute(ExecuteJava.java:138)
The issue here is that my java task target is not finding my classpath. I have printed my classpath and it has all the necessary jars and classes.
Here is part of my build.xml:
<path id="classpath">
<pathelement location="${build.src}" />
<pathelement location="${build.test}" />
<fileset dir="${lib}">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<target name="run" depends="compile">
<java classname="MyProgram" fork="false">
<classpath refid="classpath"/>
</java>
</target>
Does anyone know why the run task cannot find my classpath?

Cobertura - Code Coverage Instrumentation

I am trying some code-coverage analysis for first time and I was working on getting cobertura using ANT. My questions might be silly, but thought of asking here. I have the following in my ANT scripts. While reading over through cobertura the next step was instrumentation. What is code coverage instrumentation?
<target name="cobertura" depends="checkstyle">
<property name="cobertura.dir" location="C:\\Softwares- packages\\Corbetura\\cobertura-1.9.4.1" />
<path id ="cobertura.classpath">
<fileset dir="${cobertura.dir}">
<include name="cobertura.jar"/>
<include name="lib/**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<taskdef resource="tasks.properties" classpathref="cobertura.classpath"/>
</target>
cobertura modifies your class files so that it can compute the coverage. I typically 'instrument' a copy of the jar files that I use for executing tests and use a copy that hasn't been instrument as my build artifact.
Here is the build file I used when I first set up cobertura via ant:
The cobertura-instrument target instruments my code and writes the instrumented classes to a separate directory like you said.
The junit target compiles the test, then instruments the tests, then runs the tests, then produces the report. These steps are all done by declaring dependent targets to the junit one.
<path id="cobertura.classpath">
<fileset dir="${cobertura.dir}">
<include name="cobertura.jar" />
<include name="lib/**/*.jar" />
</fileset>
</path>
<taskdef classpathref="cobertura.classpath" resource="tasks.properties" />
<!-- Delete an existing coburtura datafile -->
<delete file="${cobertura.datafile}"/>
<antcall target="cobertura.clean"/>
<!-- Instrument the code with cobertura to test for coverage -->
<cobertura-instrument todir="${cobertura.instrumented.classes}" datafile="${cobertura.datafile}">
<fileset dir="${build.dir}/classes/">
<include name="**/*.class"/>
</fileset>
</cobertura-instrument>
<fileset dir="${src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.java" />
</fileset>
<fileset dir="${tests.src.dir}">
<include name="**/*.java" />
</fileset>
I believe you're looking for the "cobertura-instrument" task. See here

Simple ant build script that supports src/ and test/?

Currently I use an IDE for all my builds and unit tests. Now I have a need to use ant. I found a few simple ant build.xml scripts but they didn't support a separate Junit test/ dir. My projects are structured as follows:
src/
com/foo/
com/bar/
test/ -- Mirror of src/, with all *Test.java files.
com/foo/
com/bar/
lib/ -- All Java libs, including junit 4.
How can a construct a small ant script that builds my src/ and test/ Java classes then runs all my JUnit tests?
I define <path> elements for each target.
This is an excerpt from my build file, you'll have to adapt some paths and properties, but you can get the idea:
<path id="src.path">
<pathelement path="src/"/>
</path>
<path id="compile.path">
<path refid="src.path"/>
<fileset dir="lib/">
<include name="**/*.jar"/>
</fileset>
</path>
<path id="unit.test.path">
<path refid="compile.path"/>
<pathelement path="test/"/>
</path>
<target name="compile">
<javac destdir="bin">
<src path="src"/>
<classpath refid="compile.path"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="compileUnitTests" depends="compile">
<javac srcdir="test/" destdir="bin">
<classpath refid="unit.test.path"/>
</javac>
</target>
<target name="runUnitTests" depends="compileUnitTests">
<junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="no">
<jvmarg value="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"/>
<classpath refid="unit.test.path"/>
<formatter type="xml"/>
<batchtest fork="yes" todir="${this.report}">
<fileset dir="test">
<include name="${test.pattern}"/>
<exclude name="**/AllTests.class"/>
<exclude name="**/*$*.class"/>
</fileset>
</batchtest>
</junit>
</target>
And if you need to refine this to your needs, as cotton.m says, go read the ant task docs. Using ant with your specific directory structure does require some knowledge of the tool, don't expect you'll easily find ready-made examples that just work with your exact requirements.
I don't understand the question. Are you asking how to set the default target? Select which target to run when executing or do you just not know how to write build.xml files? It's not that hard really. See http://ant.apache.org/manual/tutorial-HelloWorldWithAnt.html and http://ant.apache.org/manual/
