Output of task by default look like that:
target name:
[input] some message:
your input
[next task]
I'd like to see something like this:
target name:
[input] some message: your input
[next task]
How can I make, that task does not put cursor to the new line after message?
It can be done, but it is a little bit involved. There is no option on the input task itself for easily doing what you want.
However, in Ant 1.7 or greater, you can control the output (and input) of the input task by providing an input handler. Ant comes shipped with a few input handlers, for example one for secure input that does not echo what you type to the screen. You can, if you want, write your own input handler, and in that way gain full control of what input and output looks like.
To write an input handler you must write a class that implements the InputHandler interface. I recommend you download the Ant source code and take a look at the DefaultInputHandler and create your own version of that, modifying it to suit your needs. In the source for Ant v1.8.3, the prompt and input is implemented like this:
r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getInputStream()));
do {
System.err.println(prompt);
System.err.flush();
try {
String input = r.readLine();
request.setInput(input);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new BuildException("Failed to read input from"
+ " Console.", e);
}
} while (!request.isInputValid());
I haven't tried it, but changing the println to a print seems like a good idea.
When done, you can point Ant's input task to your compiled input handler using the classname and (for instance) classpath parameters.

I'm fairly new to Groovy and Jenkins, so hopefully this question is coherent.
I have a Jenkinsfile written in Groovy and would like to validate one of the params as a valid URI. Without writing my own regex check, is there a library I could easily invoke during Jenkins startup?
You can try this:
try {
def foo = new java.net.URL("yourURI").openStream()
if (foo.getClass() == sun.net.www.protocol.http.HttpURLConnection$HttpInputStream) {
println 'valid'
foo.close()
}
}
catch (java.io.FileNotFoundException e) {
println 'not valid'
return
}
Unfortunately URL.toUri is not allowed at least in our setup. (It could possibly be allowed with a separate config.) Apparently opening the url (trying to connect to the host) could be possible, but that feels like it could cause other problems.
I ended up with this:
// Validation URLs in Jenkins script is hard (URL.toUri is banned). This regex roughly matches the subset of
// URLs we might want to use (and some invalid but harmless URLs). You can get a rough sense what
// this matches with a generation tool like https://www.browserling.com/tools/text-from-regex .
def saneUrlPattern = ~/^https:\/\/[-\w]{1,32}(\.[-\w]{1,32}){0,4}(:[0-9]{1,5})?(\/|(\/[-\w]{1,32}){1,10})?(\?([-\w]{1,32}=[-\w]{0,40}(&[-\w]{1,32}=[-\w]{0,40}){1,8})?)?(#[-\w]{0,40})?$/
if (!(params.sourceUrl =~ saneUrlPattern)) {
return [error: "Invalid url ${params.sourceUrl}. A simple https URL is expected."]
}
I realise that trying to validate URLs with a regular expression is difficult. I tried to strike a balance between strict and correct enough validation and a regular expression that has some hope of being understood by looking at it and being reasonably convinced as to what it actually matches.
I'm trying to figure out how to get the test results for Canopy to show in the VS test explorer. I can get my tests to show up and it will run them but it always shows a pass. It seems like the Run() function is "eating" the results so VS never sees a failure.
I'm sure it is a conflict between how Canopy is nicely interpreting the exceptions it gets into test results because normally you'd want Run() to succeed regardless of the outcome and report its results using its own reports.
Maybe I should be redirecting output and interpreting that in the MS testing code?
So here is how I have it set up right now...
The Visual Studio Test Runner looks at this file for what it sees as tests, these call the canopy methods that do the real testing.
open canopy
open runner
open System
open Microsoft.VisualStudio.TestTools.UnitTesting
[<TestClass>]
type testrun() =
// Look in the output directory for the web drivers
[<ClassInitialize>]
static member public setup(context : TestContext) =
// Look in the output directory for the web drivers
canopy.configuration.ieDir <- "."
canopy.configuration.chromeDir <- "."
// start an instance of the browser
start ie
()
[<TestMethod>]
member x.LocationNoteTest() =
let myTestModule = new myTestModule()
myTestModule.all()
run()
[<ClassCleanup>]
static member public cleanUpAfterTesting() =
quit()
()
myTestModule looks like
open canopy
open runner
open System
type myTestModule() =
// some helper methods
member x.basicCreate() =
context "The meat of my tests"
"Test1" &&& fun _ ->
// some canopy test statements like...
url "http://theURL.com/"
"#title" == "The title of my page"
//Does the text of the button match expectations?
"#addLocation" == "LOCATION"
// add a location note
click ".btn-Location"
member x.all() =
x.basicCreate()
// I could add additional tests here or I could decide to call them individually
I have it working now. I put the below after the run() for each test.
Assert.IsTrue(canopy.runner.failedCount = 0,results.ToString())
so now my tests look something like:
[<TestMethod>]
member x.LocationNoteTest() =
let locationTests = new LocationNote()
// Add the test to the canopy suite
// Note, this just defines the tests to run, the canopy portion
// of the tests do not actually execute until run is called.
locationTests.all()
// Tell canopy to run all the tests in the suites.
run()
Assert.IsTrue(canopy.runner.failedCount = 0,results.ToString())
Canopy and the UnitTesting infrastructure have some overlap in what they want to take care of. I want the UnitTesting infrasturcture to be the thing "reporting" the summary of all tests and details so I needed to find a way to "reset" the canopy portion so that I didn't have to track the last known state from canopy and then compare. So for this to work your canopy suite can only have one test but we want to have as many as we want at the UnitTesting level. To adjust for that we do the below in the [].
runner.suites <- [new suite()]
runner.failedCount <- 0
runner.passedCount <- 0
It might make sense to have something within canopy that could be called or configured when the user wants to use a different unit testing infrastructure around canopy.
Additionally I wanted the output that includes the error information to appear as it normally does when a test fails so I capture the console.out in a stringBuilder and clear that in []. I set it up in by including the below [] where common.results is the StringBuilder I then use in the asserts.
System.Console.SetOut(new System.IO.StringWriter(common.results))
Create a mutable type to pass into the 'myTestModule.all' call which can be updated accordingly upon failure and asserted upon after 'run()' completes.
I am trying to get Ranorex to output a text file which will look like the following:
Pass
74
The pass/fail result will be obtained based on whether the test running has passed or failed. The number will be hardcoded to all I need to do is store that in a variable and include it in the output.
I would have thought it would have been simple but I'm struggling to get any help from Ranorex. I though I might be able to use the reporting function, change the output file type and alter the report structure but that didn't work either.
Although I am used to Ranorex and writing my own user code, I am new to adapting it in this way.
All my user code is written in C#
Can anyone offer any assistance?
Thanks!
Edit: So I've now managed to get Ranorex to output a text file and I can put any text into it, including a string stored in a variable.
However I'm struggling to store the pass/fail result of my test in a string that I can output.
I've discovered a way to do this however it relies on the following:-
The user code must be in separate test
This separate test must exist in a sibling test case to the one your main test is in
Both this test case and the case containing your main test must both be part of a parent test case
For example:
Parent TC
.....-AddUser TC
.........-MAIN TEST
.....-AddUser FailCheck
.........-USER CODE
You can then set your AddUser TC to 'Continue with sibling on fail'
The user code is as follows:
public static void Output()
{
string result = "";
ITestCase iCase = TestSuite.Current.GetTestCase("Add_User_Test"); // The name of your Test Case
if(iCase.Status == Ranorex.Core.Reporting.ActivityStatus.Failed){
result = "Failed"; }
if(iCase.Status == Ranorex.Core.Reporting.ActivityStatus.Success){
result = "Passed"; }
int testrunID = 79;
using (StreamWriter writer =
new StreamWriter("testresult.txt"))
{
writer.WriteLine(testrunID);
writer.WriteLine(result);
}
}
This will take the testrunID (specific to each test case) and the result of the test and output it to a text file.
The idea is then to read in the file with a custom java application I've developed and push the data into a test case management program such as QA Complete which can mark tests as Passed/Failed automatically
You can run the test suite directly using the TestSuiteRunner.Run() method. This will allow you to look at the return value of that directly and output pass or failure based on the return value.
http://www.ranorex.com/Documentation/Ranorex/html/M_Ranorex_Core_Testing_TestSuiteRunner_Run.htm
if(TestSuiteRunner.Run(typeof({testSuiteclass}),{Command Line Arguments})==0)
{
File.WriteLine("success");
}
else
{
File.WriteLine("failure");
}
My requirement is to invoke some processing from a Jenkins build server, to determine whether the domain model has changed since the last build. I've come to the conclusion that the way forward is to write a script that will invoke a sequence of existing scripts from the db-migration plugin. Then I can invoke it in the step that calls test-app and war.
I've looked in the Grails doc, and at some of the db-migration scripts, and I find I'm stuck - have no idea where to start trying things. I'd be really grateful if someone could point me at any suitable sources. BTW, I'm a bit rusty in Grails. Started to teach myself two years ago via proof of concept project, which lasted 6 months. Then it was back to Eclipse rich client work. That might be part of my problem, though I never go involved in scripts.
One thing I need in the Jenkins evt is to get hold of the current SVN revision number being used for the build. Suggestions welcome.

Create a new script by running grails create-script scriptname. The database-migration plugins scripts are configured to be easily reused. There are is a lot of shared code in _DatabaseMigrationCommon.groovy and each script defines one target with a unique name. So you can import either the shared script or any standalone script (or multiple scripts) and call the targets like they're methods.
By default the script generated by create-script "imports" the _GrailsInit script via includeTargets << grailsScript("_GrailsInit") and you can do the same, taking advantage of the magic variables that point at installed plugins' directories:
includeTargets << new File("$databaseMigrationPluginDir/scripts/DbmGenerateChangelog.groovy")
If you do this you can remove the include of _GrailsInit since it's already included, but if you don't that's fine since Grails only includes files once.
Then you can define your target and call any of the plugin's targets. The targets cannot accept parameters, but you can add data to the argsMap (this is a map Grails creates from the parsed commandline arguments) to simulate user-specified args. Note that any args passed to your script will be seen by the database-migration plugin's scripts since they use the same argsMap.
Here's an example script that just does the same thing as dbm-generate-changelog but adds a before and after message:
includeTargets << new File("$databaseMigrationPluginDir/scripts/DbmGenerateChangelog.groovy")
target(foo: "Just calls dbmGenerateChangelog") {
println 'before'
dbmGenerateChangelog()
println 'after'
}
setDefaultTarget foo
Note that I renamed the target from main to foo so it's unique, in case you want to call this from another script.
As an example of working with args, here's a modified version that specifies a default changelog name if none is provided:
println 'before'
if (!argsMap.params) {
argsMap.params = ['foo2.groovy']
}
dbmGenerateChangelog()
println 'after'
Edit: Here's a fuller example that captures the output of dbm-gorm-diff to a string:
includeTargets << new File("$databaseMigrationPluginDir/scripts/_DatabaseMigrationCommon.groovy")
target(foo: "foo") {
depends dbmInit
def configuredSchema = config.grails.plugin.databasemigration.schema
String argSchema = argsMap.schema
String effectiveSchema = argSchema ?: configuredSchema ?: defaultSchema
def realDatabase
boolean add = false // booleanArg('add')
String filename = null // argsList[0]
try {
printMessage "Starting $hyphenatedScriptName"
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream()
def baosOut = new PrintStream(baos)
ScriptUtils.executeAndWrite filename, add, dsName, { PrintStream out ->
MigrationUtils.executeInSession(dsName) {
realDatabase = MigrationUtils.getDatabase(effectiveSchema, dsName)
def gormDatabase = ScriptUtils.createGormDatabase(dataSourceSuffix, config, appCtx, realDatabase, effectiveSchema)
ScriptUtils.createAndPrintFixedDiff(gormDatabase, realDatabase, realDatabase, appCtx, diffTypes, baosOut)
}
}
String xml = new String(baos.toString('UTF-8'))
def ChangelogXml2Groovy = classLoader.loadClass('grails.plugin.databasemigration.ChangelogXml2Groovy')
String groovy = ChangelogXml2Groovy.convert(xml)
// do something with the groovy or xml here
printMessage "Finished $hyphenatedScriptName"
}
catch (e) {
ScriptUtils.printStackTrace e
exit 1
}
finally {
ScriptUtils.closeConnection realDatabase
}
}
setDefaultTarget foo
Anyone know how I can enter a multiline value in an Ant script? I'm prompting the user for a Subversion commit comment using the input task, and I'd like to be able to support multiple lines of text.
I'm running the standalone version of Ant at the Windows command prompt.
I thought I might be able to do a search and replace for \n, but I can't see any easy way to do a replace from property value to property value in Ant. It looks like I'd have to write a file, replace in the file, and then load the file into another property. I don't want it that badly.
I'm not 100% positive about this, but I took a look at the Ant source code, and it just does a readLine():
From /org/apache/tools/ant/input/DefaultInputHandler.java:
/**
* Prompts and requests input. May loop until a valid input has
* been entered.
* #param request the request to handle
* #throws BuildException if not possible to read from console
*/
public void handleInput(InputRequest request) throws BuildException {
String prompt = getPrompt(request);
BufferedReader r = null;
try {
r = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(getInputStream()));
do {
System.err.println(prompt);
System.err.flush();
try {
String input = r.readLine();
request.setInput(input);
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new BuildException("Failed to read input from"
+ " Console.", e);
}
} while (!request.isInputValid());
} finally {
if (r != null) {
try {
r.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
throw new BuildException("Failed to close input.", e);
}
}
}
}
Here is what I would do if I were you:
If you are using Ant 1.7, then try implementing your own InputHandler, as described in the documentation. The Apache License permits you to basically copy-and-paste the above code as a starting point.
If you are using Ant 1.6 or earlier, then just create your own MultiLineInput task. You can extend the existing Input class and just read multiple lines.
In either case, you would need to decide how the user indicates "I'm done." You could use a blank line or a period or something.
Good luck!
P.S. When I did a Google search for "ant multi-line input", this page was the first hit :-). Pretty impressive for a question that was asked less than an hour ago.
