Hey folks,

Marian Petras just integrated the new JUnit test result viewer in the daily dev builds. Check it out, it's preeeeeetttttttyyyyyyyyy. And it makes your test results easier to read.

Still not pretty enough? Maybe you've gotta send those test results out to the whole team? No problem, you can use junitreport. As reported by Marian on some thread (don't remember where), you just copy your -init-macrodef-junit target from build-impl.xml to build.xml, then add the following lines in bold:

<target name="-init-macrodef-junit">
    <macrodef name="junit" uri="http://www.netbeans.org/ns/j2se-project/2">
        <attribute name="includes" default="**/*Test.java"/>
        <sequential>
            <junit showoutput="true" fork="true" dir="${basedir}" failureproperty="tests.failed" errorproperty="tests.failed">
                <batchtest todir="${build.test.results.dir}">
                    <fileset dir="${test.src.dir}" includes="@{includes}"/>
                </batchtest>
                <classpath>
                    <path path="${run.test.classpath}"/>
                </classpath>
                <syspropertyset>
                    <propertyref prefix="test-sys-prop."/>
                    <mapper type="glob" from="test-sys-prop.*" to="*"/>
                </syspropertyset>
                <formatter usefile="false" type="brief"/>
                <formatter usefile="true" type="xml"/>
            </junit>
            <junitreport todir="${build.test.results.dir}">
                <fileset dir="${build.test.results.dir}">
                    <include name="TEST-*.xml"/>
                </fileset>
                <report todir="${build.test.results.dir}/html"/>
            </junitreport> 
        </sequential>
    </macrodef>
</target>

When you test your project (Alt-F6), the IDE generates the tests to to the following build/test/results folder.

And look how pretty that looks.

Fabulous, darling!
