How to integrate xUnit.net with CruiseControl.net - cruisecontrol.net

Question

I have a continuous integration server that discovers and runs assemblies with NUnit tests. I would like to add some assemblies with xUnit.net tests to the mix. How would I do that?

Answer 1

Download xunit-build-xyzw.zip from xUnit.net on CodePlex and extract it to, for example, C:\Program Files\xUnit.net. Add this location to PATH environment variable
be sure to have no trailing semicolon
Modify your CC.NET *.build script to discover assemblies by convention, as outlined below
note that command line argument syntax no longer has equals sign
In C:\Program Files\CruiseControl.NET\server\ccnet.config, Merge XML files produced by NUnit runner and by xUnit.net runner, as outlined below
merging happens after build, irrespective of build status
be sure results of test run get deleted in the beginning of build script
Restart CC.NET
Download xUnitSummary.xsl from xUnit.net on GitHub and place it in C:\Program Files (x86)\CruiseControl.NET\WebDashboard\xsl
In C:\Program Files\CruiseControl.NET\WebDashboard\dashboard.config, modify buildPlugins element as outlined below
Restart IIS

Step 2:
<project default="RunTests_xUnit">
<target name="RunTests_xUnit" description="Runs the discovered xUnit.net unit tests" depends="someCompileStep">
<!-- Outer loop to search through a list of different locations -->
<!-- Folders to be searched should listed as a semicolon deliminated list in the 'in' attribute -->
<foreach item="String" in="${TestAssemblyOutputPath}" delim=" ;" property="testsPath">
<echo message="Searching for xUnit.net test suites in ${testsPath}" />
<!-- Inner loop to search for dlls containing unit tests -->
<foreach item="File" property="filename">
<in>
<items basedir="${testsPath}">
<!-- see http://nant.sourceforge.net/release/0.91/help/types/fileset.html for how to include or exclude specific files or file patterns -->
<!-- attempt to run tests in any dlls whose name ends with UnitTestSuite.dll' -->
<include name="**UnitTestSuite.dll" />
</items>
</in>
<do>
<property name="testDLLName" value="${path::get-file-name-without-extension(filename)}" />
<echo message="Testing ${testDLLName} with xUnit.net" />
<exec program="${xunit-console.exe}" failonerror="true" resultproperty="resultVal">
<arg line="${testsPath}\${testDLLName}.dll /xml ${xUnitTestLogsFolder}${testDLLName}-xUnitResults.xml" />
</exec>
<fail message="Failures reported in ${testDLLName}." failonerror="true" unless="${int::parse(resultVal)==0}" />
</do>
</foreach>
</foreach>
</target>
</project>
Step 3:
<publishers>
<merge>
<files>
<file>C:\logs-location\xUnitTestLogs\*UnitTestSuite-xUnitResults.xml</file>
<file>C:\logs-location\TestLogs\*Tests-Results.xml</file>
</files>
</merge>
<xmllogger />
<statistics />
</publishers>
Step 5:
<buildPlugins>
<buildReportBuildPlugin>
<xslFileNames>
...
<xslFile>xsl\xUnitSummary.xsl</xslFile>
</xslFileNames>
</buildReportBuildPlugin>
...
<xslReportBuildPlugin description="xUnit.net Report" actionName="xUnitReport" xslFileName="xsl\xUnitSummary.xsl" />
...
</buildPlugins>
