[abbot-users] [Developers] RE: launch abbot scripts on a server when commit

[SourceForge.net <no...@so...>]

The following forum message was posted by nikhilkr1984 at http://sourceforge.net/projects/abbot/forums/forum/168263/topic/3401336:

Assume you have prepared the script (ie: xml file) using Abbot. Follow the 3
steps to run it automatically.

1. Create a class like below for initiating your test.

[code]

package sample.test;

import java.io.File;
import junit.extensions.abbot.ScriptTestSuite;
import junit.framework.Test;
import junit.framework.TestCase;
import junit.textui.TestRunner;
import abbot.Log;
import abbot.finder.AWTHierarchy;
import abbot.finder.Hierarchy;
import abbot.finder.TestHierarchy;
import abbot.script.Script;
import abbot.script.StepRunner;
import abbot.util.AWTFixtureHelper;

public class AbbotStarter extends ScriptFixture
{
	static String ABBOT_SCRIPT_HOME ;

	public AbbotStarter(String name)
	{
		super(name);
	}

	public static Test suite()
	{
		return new ScriptTestSuite(AbbotStarter.class, ABBOT_SCRIPT_HOME);
	}

	public static void main(String[] args)
	{
               if(args.length<1)
		{
			System.out.println("Usage : sample.test.AbbotStarter <Abbot-Script-home>");
			return;
		}
                ABBOT_SCRIPT_HOME = args[0];
		TestRunner.run(AbbotStarter.suite());
		new File(burbLog).delete();
	}

}

class ScriptFixture extends TestCase
{

	private static AWTFixtureHelper oldContext = null;
	private static final Hierarchy DUMMY_HIERARCHY = new AWTHierarchy();
	private StepRunner runner;

	/**
	 * Construct a test case with the given name, which <i>must</i> be the
	 * filename of the script to run.
	 */
	public ScriptFixture(String filename)
	{
		// It is essential that the name be passed to super() unmodified, or
		// the JUnit GUI will consider it a different test.
		super(filename);
	}

	/**
	 * Saves the current UI state for restoration when the fixture (if any) is
	 * terminated. Also sets up a {@link TestHierarchy} for the duration of the
	 * test.
	 */
	protected void setUp() throws Exception
	{
		if (oldContext == null)
		{
			oldContext = new AWTFixtureHelper();
		}
		runner = new StepRunner(oldContext);
		// Support for deprecated ComponentTester.assertFrameShowing usage
		// only. Eventually this will go away.
		AWTHierarchy.setDefault(runner.getHierarchy());
	}

	protected void tearDown() throws Exception
	{
		AWTHierarchy.setDefault(null);
		runner = null;
	}

	/**
	 * Override the default TestCase runTest method to invoke the script. The
	 * {@link Script} is created and a default {@link StepRunner} is used to run
	 * it.
	 * 
	 * @see junit.framework.TestCase#runTest
	 */
	protected void runTest() throws Throwable
	{
         	Script script = new Script(getName(), DUMMY_HIERARCHY);
		Log.log("Running " + script + " with " + getClass());

		try
		{
			runner.run(script);
		}
		finally
		{
			Log.log(script.toString() + " finished");
		}
	}
}

[/code]


2. Invoke the above class from a batch file, abbot.bat

[code]

@echo off
title Abbot Runner

set CP=-classpath 
set CP=%CP%./lib/abbot.jar;
set CP=%CP%./lib/burpsuite_v1.4.01.jar;
set CP=%CP%./lib/costello.jar;
set CP=%CP%./lib/commons-logging-1.1.1.jar;
set CP=%CP%./lib/jdom-1.1.1.jar;
set CP=%CP%./lib/junit-4.8.2.jar;
set CP=%CP%./AbbotTestRunner.jar

java %CP% sample.test.AbbotStarter
[/code]

3. Run your application as  "abbot.bat my_automation.xml"
