Ci_reporter user guide?

maung · July 21, 2007, 1:30am

Hi,
I am new to ruby. I’ve googled for ci_reporter user guide, but i found
little helpful results. Could anyone have a clue where i can get support
for reporter? My real question is how to get xml output ruby. Earlier,
someone on the forum point me out that ci_reporter has this
functionality. ci_reporter has method called to_xml, but I don’t really
know how to use it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
maung

First link on google for “ci_reporter” gets you here:

http://caldersphere.rubyforge.org/ci_reporter/

Please let me know what in the documentation is unclear.

Re-reading your question, it sounds like you want a general to_xml
method
for Ruby objects. ci_reporter does not do this, it’s meant to be used
with
your unit tests to generate xml reports (again see doco link). Perhaps
you
want to look at the xml serialization code in Rails, which requires you
to
use either simple hashes and arrays, or ActiveRecord.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your response. I am very new to ruby, so please bear with me.
I am using Ruby, Watir and Test/unit, not Ruby on rails.
My first question will be if i can use ci_reporter with the tools i
mentioned above. I found out that I need to use ci_reporter with Rake.

What I am trying to achieve is that test login a website and check if
successful. I used test/unit assert to validate the result. I need to
get the output from running ruby as XML file so that I can use in
cruisecontrol application. But I don’t know how to use to_xml method in
my rake file or ruby.

This is another question. Since I use test/unit, I put the following
line in my rake file:
require ‘rubygems’
gem ‘ci_reporter’
require ‘ci/reporter/rake/test_unit’ # use this if you’re using
Test::Unit
according to the documentation. When try to run it, I got this error
message:
c:/ruby/lib/ruby/gems/1.8/gems/ci_reporter-1.3.3/lib/ci/reporter/rake/test_unit.rb:5:
undefined method namespace' for main:Object (NoMethodError) from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in gem_original_require’
from c:/ruby/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/rubygems/custom_require.rb:27:in
`require’
from Rakefile.rb:3
I don’t really know what is causing it.

Any help would be very appreciated.

Thanks,
maung

I have the exact same issue…

Ruby 1.8.2-15, Watir-1.5.1192, ci_reporter 1.3.3
My tests are based on Watir::TestCase
I am able to run a simple test and generate XML output

How does one generate a stylesheet to display an HTML report?

<file: tc1.rb>
require ‘watir’
require ‘watir/testcase’
require ‘ci/reporter/rake/test_unit_loader’
require ‘test/unit/ui/console/testrunner’

class TC_MyTests < Watir::TestCase
def test_mytest1
assert(true, “Test passed”)
end

def test_mytest2
assert(false, “Test failed”)
end
end

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> Test failed. <false> is not true. (Test::Unit::AssertionFailedError) tc1.rb:12:in `test_mytest2'
