Question

I put up an Ant project which includes a unit test using JUnit.

The test target is as:

<target name="test">
    <mkdir dir="target/test/reports"/>
    <junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="yes">
        <classpath>
            <pathelement location="${test.classes.dir}"/>
            <pathelement location="${test.junit.jar}" />
            <pathelement path="${classes.dir}"/>
            <pathelement path="${java.class.path}"/>
        </classpath>
        <formatter type="plain"/>

        <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${test.reports.dir}">
            <fileset dir="${test.src.dir}">
                <include name="**/*Test*.java"/>
            </fileset>
        </batchtest>
    </junit>
</target>

When I run this test, it show on the screen only the summary of the test like:

Buildfile: F:\test\build.xml

test:
    [junit] Running com.mycompany.myproject.myTest
    [junit] Tests run: 1, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0.013 sec
    [junit] Running com.mycompany.myproject.myTest1
    [junit] Tests run: 3, Failures: 1, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 0.018 sec

BUILD FAILED
F:\test\build.xml:30: Test com.mycompany.myproject.myTest1 failed

Total time: 1 second

Is there anyway I can tell JUnit or Ant to display the detailed result on the screen?

Also, if I want to write something in the Unit test to the screen, how can I do this? I tried to insert System.out.println() in the test but it does not display anything on the screen.

Many thanks.

Set the showOutput flag to true.

What are you trying to accomplish via the S.o.p in the middle of a test?
