Selenium RC + PHPUnit + Ant

1. Download the apache ant from apache site.

2. Unzip into any folder ex: C:\Ant

3. Set the system variables in sytem properties | Advanced | environmental variables
 
4. test is properly set or not in cmd prompt.  like

   c:> echo %ANT_HOME%

   It should print the correct path, if any problem then manually set the paths in the cmd prompts...

   Like,

   C:> set ANT_HOME=C:\Ant
   C:> set JAVA_HOME=C:\Program Files \Java\jre_1.6.0_03
   C:> set PATH=%JAVA_HOME%\bin;%ANT_HOME%\bin;


  Now test, will properly set or not by typing,

    C:>java   --> this lists all java commands
    C:>ant   --> lists all commands
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Exmple format of preparing ant build & running
================================

1. One simple php file HomePage is written & placed @ C:/php folder.

2. Open two cmd prompts, in one run selenium-server jar & in another to run ant.

3.  Before running ant, first check phpunit runs the php file.
     C:> java -jar selenium-server.jar
     C:>php/phpunit homepage

      PHPUnit 3.5.14 by Sebastian Bergmann.
      . .
      Tests:1, Assertions:0, Errors:0


4. As per above steps, install ant & configure correctly.

5. Prepare the build.xml file & save either @ C:\>Ant or C:\php> folder

     <project name="Buzzz" default="build">
<property name="basedir" value="C:/php" />
<property name="dir.tests" value="C:/php/tests" />
<property name="dir.build" value="C:/php/build" />
<property name="dir.logs" value="C:/php/build/logs" />

 <target name="clean">
  <delete dir="${dir.build}"/>
 </target>

 <target name="prepare">
  <mkdir dir="${dir.logs}"/>
 </target>

 <target name="phpunit">
  <exec dir="${basedir}" executable="phpunit.bat" failonerror="true" >
   <arg line="--log-junit C:/php/build/logs/junit.xml HomePage" />
  </exec>
 </target>

 <target name="build" depends="clean,prepare,phpunit"/>
</project>


6. Open the cmd prompt, where now just phpunit is ran, just type ant C:\php>ant

     It builds xml & calls, phpunit & executes as below:
