JazzBuildEngine understands MSBuild and NUnit for .NET dev.
![]()
To use MSBuild to build .NET projects and test them with nUnit you need the following:
Preparation Step: Download to Build Machine:
.NET Framework from http://www.microsoft.com/net/Download.aspx NUnit from http://nunit.org/index.php?p=download Installation on Build Machine:
Install .NET Framework Install NUnit Package You will also need to provide other required tools and any dependencies for your build, Set environment variables and so on. Setup your build engine, build user, build respository workspace as described on jazz.net in artikel Getting started with Setting up jazz builds. Step 1 : Add the definition for the ANT .NET Library: <project default="all" name="HelloWorld" xmlns:dn="antlib:org.apache.ant.dotnet"> Step 2 : Call MSBuild with the appropriate Visual Studio Solution file (using the default settings). <dn:msbuild buildfile="Helloworld.net.sln" /> Step 3 : Execute NUnit to run unit tests However, you could also use the NUnit Task provided by the dotNet Antlibs. NUnit creates the test output like JUnit but in a different format <exec executable="${nunit.path}${nunit.exec}"> <arg value="${nunit.testfile}"/> <arg value="/xml=${nunit.xmlfile}"/> </exec> Step 4 : Transform the NUnit output file a JUnit compatible format, and tell the JUnit logpublisher where to get the outputfile. <xslt in="${nunit.xmlfile}" out="${nunit.transfomedfile}" style="${nunit.transformation}" /> <junitLogPublisher filePath="${nunit.transfomedfile}" buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="${userId}" password="${password}" /> Now running a build also shows you the NUnit results (as JUnit) <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <project default="all" name="HelloWorld" xmlns:dn="antlib:org.apache.ant.dotnet"> <target name="all"> <!-- userid and password of the build engine --> <property name="userId" value="userid" /> <property name="password" value="yourtopsecretpwd" /> <property name="compileLog" value="${basedir}/compile.xml" /> <startBuildActivity activityIdProperty="Build" label="building..." buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="${userId}" password="${password}" /> <dn:msbuild buildfile="Helloworld.net.sln" /> <completeBuildActivity activityId="${Build}" buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="${userId}" password="${password}" /> <startBuildActivity activityIdProperty="Test" label="testing..." buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="${userId}" password="${password}" /> <property name="nunit.path" value="C:\Program Files\NUnit 2.5.1\bin\net-2.0\"/> <property name="nunit.exec" value="nunit-console.exe"/> <property name="nunit.testfile" value="D:\BuildEngine\RTC pilot\Workspace\net-fetched\HelloWorld.Net\HelloworldTest\bin\Debug\HelloworldTest.exe"/> <property name="nunit.xmlfile" value="D:\BuildEngine\RTC pilot\Workspace\net-fetched\HelloWorld.Net\nunit.xml"/> <exec executable="${nunit.path}${nunit.exec}"> <arg value="${nunit.testfile}"/> <arg value="/xml=${nunit.xmlfile}"/> </exec> <junitLogPublisher filePath="${nunit.xmlfile}" buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="${userId}" password="${password}" /> <completeBuildActivity activityId="${Test}" buildResultUUID="${buildResultUUID}" repositoryAddress="${repositoryAddress}" userId="${userId}" password="${password}" /> </target> <taskdef name="junitLogPublisher" classname="com.ibm.team.build.ant.task.JUnitLogPublisherTask" /> <taskdef name="logPublisher" classname="com.ibm.team.build.ant.task.LogPublisherTask" /> <taskdef name="startBuildActivity" classname="com.ibm.team.build.ant.task.StartBuildActivityTask" /> <taskdef name="completeBuildActivity" classname="com.ibm.team.build.ant.task.CompleteBuildActivityTask" /> </project> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <xsl:stylesheet version="1.0" xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"> <xsl:output method="xml" indent="yes" encoding="utf-8" version="1.0" cdata-section-elements="failure" /> <xsl:template match="test-results/test-suite"> <xsl:variable name="nErrors" select="//test-results/@errors"/> <xsl:variable name="nFailures" select="//test-results/@failures"/> <xsl:variable name="nTotal" select="//test-results/@total"/> <xsl:variable name ="nHostName" select="//test-results/environment/@machine-name"/> <xsl:variable name="testcases" select="//test-suite"/> <testsuite name="{//test-suite/@name}" time="{@time}" tests="{$nTotal}" errors="{$nErrors}" failures="{$nFailures}" hostname="{$nHostName}"> <xsl:for-each select="$testcases"> <xsl:variable name="suite" select="."/> <xsl:variable name="generalfailure" select="./failure"/> <xsl:for-each select=".//test-case"> <testcase classname="{./@name}" name="{./@name}" time="{./@time}"> <xsl:if test="./failure"> <xsl:variable name="failstack" select="count(./failure/stack-trace/*) + count(./failure/stack-trace/text())"/> <failure type="nunit.not.reported"> <xsl:choose> <xsl:when test="$failstack > 0 or not($generalfailure)"> MESSAGE: <xsl:value-of select="./failure/message"/> +++++++++++++++++++ STACK TRACE: <xsl:value-of select="./failure/stack-trace"/> </xsl:when> <xsl:otherwise> MESSAGE: <xsl:value-of select="$generalfailure/message"/> +++++++++++++++++++ STACK TRACE: <xsl:value-of select="$generalfailure/stack-trace"/> </xsl:otherwise> </xsl:choose> </failure> </xsl:if> </testcase> </xsl:for-each> </xsl:for-each> </testsuite> </xsl:template> </xsl:stylesheet> |

Thanks for this great post! This will be very usefull! :D

This is very helpful.
Does anyone know how to pass properties on to MSBuild? I'm trying to change the output directory with no luck. I've tried various things such as: <dn> <property> </dn> but have not had any luck. I have tried several variants of the "OutputDirectory" name as well. Thanks, Gary |

Nice example, thanks. The sample build script doesn't show applying the XSLT transform, though -- it attempts to pass the NUnit XML file to junitLogPublisher directly, but it's easy to sort this out given the prior snippets.
A similar approach could be used to publish compilation logs for other languages via jdtCompileLogPublisher. Do you know whether the various .NET compilers can output in a structured format (i.e. XML)? We're looking to provide more direct support for other unit testing frameworks and compilers in 3.0, and deliver these enhancements as separate plug-ins / jars so they can also work against 2.0. e.g. see story 94286: Improve integration with other unit testing frameworks and its child task.

RTC 2.0.0.2 now includes support for publishing CPPUnit, NUnit, and MSTest results via dedicated Ant tasks. These are also available in 3.0 M2.
For more details, see 94286: Improve integration with other unit testing frameworks and its child items. |
