FlexUnit developers/users, Since newer Flash versions are only available via the Pepper Flash plugin on Linux now, we are wanting to run our FlexUnit tests using Chrome/Chromium rather than the standalone player. I can launch Chromium using the “command” parameter of the FlexUnit Ant task, so that is good. However, our test SWFs are running on a web server, and need to be accessed using HTTP. I am passing an HTTP URL into the “swf” parameter expecting this value to be passed to the command argument, but this is not happening. Here is my Ant task invocation:
<flexunit player="flash" swf=”http://myhost/djte-flex/sas.commons.services.nls.collation.tests.unit.swf?logging=debug” toDir="${reports.dir}" haltonfailure="false" verbose="true" localTrusted="true" command=”/opt/chromium/chrome-wrapper” /> The above looks to be correct, and doing the equivalent using the command line works fine. However, running the Ant task, I get this: 'The provided 'swf' property value [/local/users/userid/projects/sas.commons.services.nls.collation_swc/d4flxcmn42/extracted/Source/Flex/http:/myhost/djte-flex/sas.commons.services.nls.collation.tests.unit.swf?logging=debug] could not be found. The “swf” value is being munged by the Ant task it seems. A quick look at the source code indicates that a file resolve is being performed, so I guess the “swf” parameter only expects Files, not URLs. I am not very familiar with the code but, in looking through it this afternoon, I see what appears to be support for URLs? (e.g. the TestRunConfiguration class has a setUrl() method, and the CustomPlayerCommand class appears to use the url value if it is set.) However, unfortunately, there is no way that I can see of passing a URL to the Ant task (i.e. there is no setUrl() method on FlexUnitTask). Accessing the test SWF using a URL is(was) of interest to others also. I saw two posts to the forums about it back in 2010, and figured since a JIRA ticket was opened this functionality was probably completed by now (hopefully): http://forums.adobe.com/thread/633277 http://forums.adobe.com/thread/740495 Perhaps I am missing something here. Can anyone please let me know if it is possible with the current FlexUnit to access a SWF using HTTP via a browser? BTW, I am using Jason Gardner’s fork of FlexUnit 4.1.0.8, which was created in 2012: http://code.google.com/p/flexunit-with-code-coverage/.
