Tutorial: Writing Tasks

+ +

This document provides a step by step tutorial for writing +tasks.

+

Content

+

+ + +

Set up the build environment

+

Ant builds itself, we are using Ant too (why we would write +a task if not? :-) therefore we should use Ant for our build.

+

We choose a directory as root directory. All things will be done +here if I say nothing different. I will reference this directory +as root-directory of our project. In this root-directory we +create a text file names build.xml. What should Ant do for us? +

    +
  • compiles my stuff
  • +
  • make the jar, so that I can deploy it
  • +
  • clean up everything
  • +
+So the buildfile contains three targets. +
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
+<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="jar">
+
+    <target name="clean" description="Delete all generated files">
+        <delete dir="classes"/>
+        <delete file="MyTasks.jar"/>
+    </target>
+
+    <target name="compile" description="Compiles the Task">
+        <javac srcdir="src" destdir="classes"/>
+    </target>
+
+    <target name="jar" description="JARs the Task">
+        <jar destfile="MyTask.jar" basedir="classes"/>
+    </target>
+
+</project>
+
+ +This buildfile uses often the same value (src, classes, MyTask.jar), so we should rewrite that +using <property>s. On second there are some handicaps: <javac> requires that the destination +directory exists; a call of "clean" with a non existing classes directory will fail; "jar" requires +the execution of some steps bofore. So the refactored code is: + +
+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
+<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="jar">
+
+    <property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
+    <property name="classes.dir" value="classes"/>
+
+    <target name="clean" description="Delete all generated files">
+        <delete dir="${classes.dir}" failonerror="false"/>
+        <delete file="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
+    </target>
+
+    <target name="compile" description="Compiles the Task">
+        <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
+        <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}"/>
+    </target>
+
+    <target name="jar" description="JARs the Task" depends="compile">
+        <jar destfile="${ant.project.name}.jar" basedir="${classes.dir}"/>
+    </target>
+
+</project>
+
+ant.project.name is one of the +
+build-in properties [1] of Ant. + + + +

Write the Task

+ +Now we write the simplest Task - a HelloWorld-Task (what else?). Create a text file +HelloWorld.java in the src-directory with: +
+public class HelloWorld {
+    public void execute() {
+        System.out.println("Hello World");
+    }
+}
+
+and we can compile and jar it with ant (default target is "jar" and via +its depends-clause the "compile" is executed before). + + + +
+

Use the Task

+

But after creating the jar we want to use our new Task. Therefore we need a +new target "use". Before we can use our new task we have to declare it with + +<taskdef> [2]. And for easier process we change the default clause: +

+<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
+<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="use">
+
+    ...
+
+    <target name="use" description="Use the Task" depends="jar">
+        <taskdef name="helloworld" classname="HelloWorld" classpath="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
+        <helloworld/>
+    </target>
+
+</project>
+
+ +Important is the classpath-attribute. Ant searches in its /lib directory for +tasks and our task isnīt there. So we have to provide the right location.

+ +

Now we can type in ant and all should work ... +

+Buildfile: build.xml
+
+compile:
+    [mkdir] Created dir: C:\tmp\anttests\MyFirstTask\classes
+    [javac] Compiling 1 source file to C:\tmp\anttests\MyFirstTask\classes
+
+jar:
+      [jar] Building jar: C:\tmp\anttests\MyFirstTask\MyTask.jar
+
+use:
+[helloworld] Hello World
+
+BUILD SUCCESSFUL
+Total time: 3 seconds
+
+ + + + +

Integration with TaskAdapter

+

Our class has nothing to do with Ant. It extends no superclass and implements +no interface. How does Ant know to integrate? Via name convention: our class provides +a method with signature public void execute(). This class is wrapped by Antīs +org.apache.tools.ant.TaskAdapter which is a task and uses reflection for +setting a reference to the project and calling the execute() method.

+ +

Setting a reference to the project? Could be interesting. The Project class +gives us some nice abilities: access to Antīs logging facilities getting and setting +properties and much more. So we try to use that class: +

+import org.apache.tools.ant.Project;
+
+public class HelloWorld {
+
+    private Project project;
+
+    public void setProject(Project proj) {
+        project = proj;
+    }
+
+    public void execute() {
+        String message = project.getProperty("ant.project.name");
+        project.log("Here is project '" + message + "'.", Project.MSG_INFO);
+    }
+}
+
+and the execution with ant will show us the expected +
+use:
+Here is project 'MyTask'.
+

+ + +
+

Deriving from Antīs Task

+

Ok, that works ... But usually you will extend org.apache.tools.ant.Task. +That class is integrated in Ant, getīs the project-reference, provides documentation +fiels, provides easier access to the logging facility and (very useful) gives you +the exact location where in the buildfile this task instance is used.

+ +

Oki-doki - letīs us use some of these: +

+import org.apache.tools.ant.Task;
+
+public class HelloWorld extends Task {
+    public void execute() {
+        // use of the reference to Project-instance
+        String message = getProject().getProperty("ant.project.name");
+
+        // Taskīs log method
+        log("Here is project '" + message + "'.");
+
+        // where this task is used?
+        log("I am used in: " +  getLocation() );
+    }
+}
+
+which gives us when running +
+use:
+[helloworld] Here is project 'MyTask'.
+[helloworld] I am used in: C:\tmp\anttests\MyFirstTask\build.xml:23:
+
+ + +
+

Attributes

+

Now we want to specify the text of our message (it seems that we are +rewriting the <echo/> task :-). First we well do that with an attribute. +It is very easy - for each attribute provide a public void set<attributename>(<type> +newValue) method and Ant will do the rest via reflection.

+
+import org.apache.tools.ant.Task;
+import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException;
+
+public class HelloWorld extends Task {
+
+    String message;
+    public void setMessage(String msg) {
+        message = msg;
+    }
+
+    public void execute() {
+        if (message==null) {
+            throw new BuildException("No message set.");
+        }
+        log(message);
+    }
+
+}
+
+

Oh, whatīs that in execute()? Throw a BuildException? Yes, thatīs the usual +way to show Ant that something important is missed and complete build should fail. The +string provided there is written as build-failes-message. Here itīs necessary because +the log() method canīt handle a null value as parameter and throws a NullPointerException. +(Of course you can initialize the message with a default string.)

+ +

After that we have to modify our buildfile: +

+    <target name="use" description="Use the Task" depends="jar">
+        <taskdef name="helloworld"
+                 classname="HelloWorld"
+                 classpath="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
+        <helloworld message="Hello World"/>
+    </target>
+
+Thatīs all.

+ +

Some background for working with attributes: Ant supports any of these datatypes as +arguments of the set-method:

+Before calling the set-method all properties are resolved. So a <helloworld message="${msg}"/> +would not set the message string to "${msg}" if there is a property "msg" with a set value. + + + +

Nested Text

+

Maybe you have used the <echo> task in a way like <echo>Hello World</echo>. +For that you have to provide a public void addText(String text) method. +

+...
+public class HelloWorld extends Task {
+    ...
+    public void addText(String text) {
+        message = text;
+    }
+    ...
+}
+
+But here properties are not resolved! For resolving properties we have to use +Projectīs replaceProperties(String propname) : String method which takes the +property name as argument and returns its value (or ${propname} if not set).

+ + +
+

Nested Elements

+

There are several ways for inserting the ability of handling nested elements. See +the Manual [4] for other. +We use the first way of the three described ways. There are several steps for that:

    +
  1. We create a class for collecting all the infos the nested element should contain. + This class is created by the same rules for attributes and nested elements + as for the task (set<attributename>() methods).
  2. +
  3. The task holds multiple instances of this class in a list.
  4. +
  5. A factory method instantiates an object, saves the reference in the list + and returns it to Ant Core.
  6. +
  7. The execute() method iterates over the list and evaluates its values.
  8. +

    +
    +import java.util.Vector;
    +import java.util.Iterator;
    +...
    +    public void execute() {
    +        if (message!=null) log(message);
    +        for (Iterator it=messages.iterator(); it.hasNext(); ) {      // 4
    +            Message msg = (Message)it.next();
    +            log(msg.getMsg());
    +        }
    +    }
    +
    +
    +    Vector messages = new Vector();                                  // 2
    +
    +    public Message createMessage() {                                 // 3
    +        Message msg = new Message();
    +        messages.add(msg);
    +        return msg;
    +    }
    +
    +    public class Message {                                           // 1
    +        public Message() {}
    +
    +        String msg;
    +        public void setMsg(String msg) { this.msg = msg; }
    +        public String getMsg() { return msg; }
    +    }
    +...
    +
    +

    Then we can use the new nested element. But where is xml-name for that defined? +The mapping XML-name : classname is defined in the factory method: +public classname createXML-name(). Therefore we write in +the buildfile +

    +        <helloworld>
    +            <message msg="Nested Element 1"/>
    +            <message msg="Nested Element 2"/>
    +        </helloworld>
    +
    + + + +

    Our task in a little more complex version

    +

    For recapitulation now a little refactored buildfile: +

    +<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
    +<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="use">

    +
    +
    +    <target name="use.without"
    +            description="Use without any"

    +            depends="use.init">

    Test the Task

    +

    We have written a test already: the use.* tasks in the buildfile. But its +difficult to test that automatically. Common (and in Ant) used is JUnit for +that. For testing tasks Ant provides a baseclass org.apache.tools.ant.BuildFileTest. +This class extends junit.framework.TestCase and can therefore be integrated +into the unit tests. But this class provides some for testing tasks useful methods: +initialize Ant, load a buildfile, execute targets, +expecting BuildExceptions with a specified text, expect a special text +in the output log ...

    + +

    In Ant it is usual that the testcase has the same name as the task with a prepending +Test, therefore we will create a file HelloWorldTest.java. Because we +have a very small project we can put this file into src directory (Antīs own +testclasses are in /src/testcases/...). Because we have already written our tests +for "hand-test" we can use that for automatic tests, too. But there is one little +problem we have to solve: all test supporting classes are not part of the binary +distribution of Ant. So you can build the special jar file from source distro with +target "test-jar" or you can download a nightly build from + +http://gump.covalent.net/jars/latest/ant/ant-testutil.jar [5].

    + +

    For executing the test and creating a report we need the optional tasks <junit> +and <junitreport>. So we add to the buildfile: +

    +...
    +<project name="MyTask" basedir="." default="test">
    +...
    +    <property name="ant.test.lib" value="ant-testutil.jar"/>
    +    <property name="report.dir"   value="report"/>
    +    <property name="junit.out.dir.xml"  value="${report.dir}/junit/xml"/>
    +    <property name="junit.out.dir.html" value="${report.dir}/junit/html"/>
    +
    +    <path id="classpath.run">
    +        <path path="${java.class.path}"/>
    +        <path location="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
    +    </path>
    +
    +    <path id="classpath.test">
    +        <path refid="classpath.run"/>
    +        <path location="${ant.test.lib}"/>
    +    </path>
    +
    +    <target name="clean" description="Delete all generated files">
    +        <delete failonerror="false" includeEmptyDirs="true">
    +            <fileset dir="." includes="${ant.project.name}.jar"/>
    +            <fileset dir="${classes.dir}"/>
    +            <fileset dir="${report.dir}"/>
    +        </delete>
    +    </target>
    +
    +    <target name="compile" description="Compiles the Task">
    +        <mkdir dir="${classes.dir}"/>
    +        <javac srcdir="${src.dir}" destdir="${classes.dir}" classpath="${ant.test.lib}"/>
    +    </target>
    +...
    +    <target name="junit" description="Runs the unit tests" depends="jar">
    +        <delete dir="${junit.out.dir.xml}" />
    +        <mkdir  dir="${junit.out.dir.xml}" />
    +        <junit printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="no">
    +            <classpath refid="classpath.test"/>

    +            <batchtest fork="yes" todir="${junit.out.dir.xml}">
    +                <fileset dir="${src.dir}" includes="**/*Test.java"/>
    +            </batchtest>
    +        </junit>
    +    </target>
    +
    +    <target name="junitreport" description="Create a report for the rest result">
    +        <mkdir dir="${junit.out.dir.html}" />
    +        <junitreport todir="${junit.out.dir.html}">
    +            <fileset dir="${junit.out.dir.xml}">
    +                <include name="*.xml"/>
    +            </fileset>
    +            <report format="frames" todir="${junit.out.dir.html}"/>
    +        </junitreport>
    +    </target>
    +
    +    <target name="test"
    +            depends="junit,junitreport"
    +            description="Runs unit tests and creates a report"
    +    />
    +...
    +

    + +

    Back to the src/HelloWorldTest.java. We create a class extending +BuildFileTest with String-constructor (JUnit-standard), a setUp() +method initializing Ant and for each testcase (targets use.*) a testXX() +method invoking that target. +

    +import org.apache.tools.ant.BuildFileTest;
    +
    +public class HelloWorldTest extends BuildFileTest {
    +
    +    public HelloWorldTest(String s) {
    +        super(s);
    +    }
    +
    +    public void setUp() {
    +        // initialize Ant
    +        configureProject("build.xml");
    +    }
    +
    +    public void testWithout() {
    +        executeTarget("use.without");
    +        assertEquals("Message was logged but should not.", getLog(), "");
    +    }
    +
    +    public void testMessage() {
    +        // execute target 'use.nestedText' and expect a message
    +        // 'attribute-text' in the log
    +        expectLog("use.message", "attribute-text");
    +    }
    +
    +    public void testFail() {
    +        // execute target 'use.fail' and expect a BuildException
    +        // with text 'Fail requested.'
    +        expectBuildException("use.fail", "Fail requested.");
    +    }
    +
    +    public void testNestedText() {
    +        expectLog("use.nestedText", "nested-text");
    +    }
    +
    +    public void testNestedElement() {
    +        executeTarget("use.nestedElement");
    +        assertLogContaining("Nested Element 1");
    +        assertLogContaining("Nested Element 2");
    +    }
    +}
    +

    + +

    When starting ant weīll get a short message to STDOUT and +a nice HTML-report. +
