EMMA with Junit, should I be testing with the instrumented classes or java classes?

问题

I've been going through this tutorial for my ANT Script for emma/junit, it states

In the <classpath> element of <junit>, change the locations of your real classes, so that you are pointing at the ${instr.dir} attribute instead of your normal target/classes folder.

Here is my emma section from of my build.xml for Apache Ant (pastebin link to full build.xml)

<!-- =================================================================== -->

             merge="true"

          </test>
         <classpath>
                <path refid="emma.lib" />
                <pathelement location="${instr.dir}"/>
                <fileset dir="${lib.dir}">
                   <include name="**/*.jar"/>
                </fileset>
        </classpath>

I was wondering why is my JUNIT Test AppenderLayoutTest failing with emma but passing with junit. I'm also pretty confident my coverage file isn't being created because the JUNIT for AppenderLayoutTest is failing.

Am I testing with the wrong set of classes? or what I missed?

Update: 8/28/2012 6:21 PM

I then changed the

<test 
name="test.nz.ac.massey.cs.sdc.log4jassignment.s06005586.AppenderLayoutTest"
todir="${coverage.dir}">

with

<batchtest>
    <fileset dir="${instr.dir}" includes="**/*Test.class" />
</batchtest>

And the updated Build Section Results for emma: JUNIT Fail Result, pointing to ${instr.dir} where..

emmatest:
[instr] processing instrumentation path ...
[instr] instrumentation path processed in 105 ms
[instr] [6 class(es) instrumented, 0 resource(s) copied]

[junit] Tests FAILED

Update: 7:02 PM

I added <formatter type="plain" usefile="false" />, And this is the output

what is [junit] java.lang.ClassFormatError: Illegal local variable table length 17 in method test.nz.ac.massey.cs.sdc.log4jassignment.s06005586.AppenderLayoutTest.<init>()V

回答1:

Can you try replacing

<test 
name="test.nz.ac.massey.cs.sdc.log4jassignment.s06005586.AppenderLayoutTest"
todir="${coverage.dir}">

with

<batchtest>
    <fileset dir="${instr.dir}" includes="**/*Test.class" />
</batchtest>

Lastly I would ask you to put some sysout in your test and see what is going wrong in the test. This might something to do with configuration I feel.
