Hellish XML

Posted by James Mead Tue, 17 Oct 2006 03:26:00 GMT

So now you can write test cases for ANT in XML using AntUnit.

You can even write assertions in XML …

  <!-- the actual test case -->
  <target name="testTouchCreatesFile">
    <au:assertFileDoesntExist file="${foo}"/>
    <touch file="${foo}"/>
    <au:assertFileExists file="${foo}"/>
  </target>

... but why?

Perhaps the time is ripe for an XML mocking library ;-)
