Creating a Session ID

Before running the build scan and tests, you need to create a session ID. The session ID is provided to each step in order to link them together as one complete cycle.

Generating a session ID in Java is done using the Java Build scanner with the -config flag. This command can be executed as an ANT Java task.

Code Block
languagexml
<tstamp>
     <format property="time.stamp" pattern="yyyyMMdd-HHmm"/>
</tstamp>

<target name="sealights_config">
	<java jar="${sealights.dir}/sl-build-scanner.jar" fork="true">
		<arg value="-config"/>
		<arg value="-tokenfile"/>
		<arg value="${sealights.dir}/sltoken.txt"/>
		<arg value="-appname"/>
		<arg value="myApp"/>
		<arg value="-branchname"/>
		<arg value="master"/>
		<arg value="-buildname"/>
		<arg value="${time.stamp}"/>
		<arg value="-pi"/>
		<arg value="*com.company.*"/>
	</java>
</target>

In the sample code above, we have used a timestamp for the build name but any environment variable can be used according to your organization’s naming convention.

Scanning a build

In order to collect coverage information SeaLights, agents need to first scan the binary files for the build information:  It it can be the *.class, *.jar, or even the *.war files.

Scanning a build in ANT is achieved using the Java Build scanner with the java taskexecuted as an ANT Java task.

Code Block
languagebash
themeEclipse
titleSample command
xml
<target name="sealights_scan" depends="compile,sealights_config">
    <java jar="${sealights.dir}/sl-build-scanner.jar" fork="true">
		<arg value="-scan"/>
		<arg value="-tokenfile"/>
		<arg value="/path/to/${sealights.dir}/sltoken.txt"/>
		<arg value="-buildsessionidfile"/>
		<arg value="buildSessionId.txt"/>
		<arg value="-workspacepath"/>
		<arg value="${build}"/>
		<arg value="-r"/>
		<arg value="-fi"/>
		<arg value="*.class"/>
		<arg </java>
</target>

In order to add logs flags, you need to add the <jvmarg> values like below

<jvmarg value="-

...

Dsl.log.toConsole=true"/>

...


<jvmarg value="

...

-Dsl.log.level=info"/>

Running tests using JUnit

In order to capture code coverage information from tests run with JUnit, you need to run it with our test listener as a Java agent:.

JUnit 4.x

  • The listener needs to be passed using the jvmarg attribute -javaagent parameter together with its required parameters.

Code Block
languagebash
themeEclipse
titleSample command
xml
<junit fork="yes">
  <jvmarg value="-javaagent:${sealights.dir}/sl-test-listener.jar"/>
  <jvmarg value="-Dsl.tokenFile=/path/to/${sealights.dir}/sltoken.txt"/>
  <jvmarg value="-Dsl.buildSessionIdFile=buildSessionId.txt"/>
  <jvmarg value="-Dsl.testStage=Unit Tests"/>
</junit>

JUnit 5.x

  1. When tests are running in the same process, the listener needs to be passed using the jvmarg attribute -javaagent parameter with Sealights' Anonymous Execution mode deactivated.

  2. When tests are running in a different process (via a fork), we need to add the start and end commands before and after tests execution

Same process (not forked)

Different process (forked)

Sample integration into an existing ANT project

In order to keep backward compatibility, you can use the ant:if condition to execute Sealights commands according to a boolean.
In the sample below, you’ll be required to add -Dsealights=true to your ANT command in order to enable the agents.

The sample below does not contain the command themselves for clarity. Please replace the <echo> lines with commands explained in previous sections.

Code Block
languagexml
<project name="sl-ant-sample" xmlns:if="ant:if">

    <target name="compile">
		<echo>Compiling the JAR</echo>
		<antcall if:true="${sealights}" target="sealights_scan" />
    </target>

	<target name="sealights_config">
		<echo>Sealights -- Create BSID</echo>
	</target>

	<target name="sealights_scan" depends="sealights_config">
		<echo>Sealights -- Scan artefacts</echo>
	</target>

	<target name="junit">
		<echo if:true="${sealights}">Sealights -- Add JVM arg</echo>
		<echo>Regular</echo>
  	</target>

</project>

Here is a comparison of executions with and without the sealigths parameter set to true.
