Stefan, thanks for your reply. Yes, printing the build file makes things
clear for an isolated run. But if you want to compare runs across
various systems, you need a fully-qualified test name that does not
depend on the system. The absolute path to build file depends on the
system.
In JUnit, the fully-qualified class name does not depend on the system.
As AntUnit does great job so far mapping JUnit to Ant, it would be nice
to have a mapping for the fully-qualified class name. Since Ant does not
have a concept of classpath or package, one approach is using relative
path to the build file, rather then absolute path.
Say, my AntUnit file (the one that has test targets) is located at
/local/path/to/antunittests/samples/Test.au.xml
I am running AntUnit on it using
<antunit>
<fileset dir="/local/path/to/antunittests/">
<include name="**/*.au.xml"/>
</fileset>
</antunit>
Then my build file is named "samples/Test.au.xml". This name does not
depend on the system.
Vladimir
P.S. I don't see any problem with separating (relative path to) build
file and target name.

The plainlistener is more or less just a proof of concept. When I put
it together I needed someting to quickly show to myself that AntUnit
really did what it was supposed to.

It does print the build file prior to listing the targets, doesn't it?

None yet.
The current implementation matches what Ant does in the JUnit case, we
separate between test class name and test name, both in the plain text
and the XML listeners. Given that we don't have any XML listener in
AntUnit yet, I'd expect us to list build file and target there as
well.
How would you want to create the fully qualified name (what would it
look like)? Why do you think it would be better than separating the
information on build file and target?
Cheers
