Now, one more feature for someone to add, which is a variant of what we
added to smartfrog last week.
1. In junit tests, you can reference the Java string in the java code,
so your tests dont break if the message changes.
2. If you test in a higher level framework (antunit, sf test compounds),
you cant do that, so you copy and paste the string in.
3. which is very brittle.
Our solution was to add a new reference, so we can extract text from a
java static member
testBadHost extends SSHTestExpectsFailure {
action:host="missing.example.org";
expectedText CONSTANT
"org.smartfrog.services.ssh.sshExec.ERROR_NO_HOST";
}
you end up being immune to string changes, only to moved constants and
people moving to fancy formatted strings.
seems to me, we could do the same with an ant resource, one that returns
the toString value of a resource as its contents. then we enhance
antunit to have a <resourceeuqals> assertion that compares two resources
(we have something like this, right?), and we can just search for the
specific resource in text, error logs,etc.
