Configuring native unit testing projects for Maven

1. Set the following environment variables:

   set COBDIR=C:\Program Files (x86)\Micro Focus\Enterprise Developer
   set COBOL_VERSION=<product-version>

   where <product-version> is the version of your current product; for example: 8.0.0, 9.0.0, etc...

   Note: If you have installed your product into a non-default directory, adjust the path accordingly.
2. Install mfant.jar into your Maven repository:

   mvn install:install-file -Dfile="%COBDIR%\bin\mfant.jar" -DgroupId=com.microfocus.cobol.build -DartifactId=mfant -Dversion=%COBOL_VERSION% -Dpackaging=jar

3. Install mfunit.jar into your Maven repository:

   mvn install:install-file -Dfile="%COBDIR%\bin\mfunit.jar" -DgroupId=com.microfocus.cobol.rts -DartifactId=mfunit -Dversion=%COBOL_VERSION% -Dpackaging=jar

   After two successful builds, both .jar files are installed in your Maven repository (%USERPROFILE%\.m2 , by default).

1. From COBOL Explorer, right-click the required project, point to New and select File.

   The Create New File dialog box is displayed.

2. In the File name field, type pom.xml, and then click Finish.

   The file is opened in the editor.

1. Add the base tags to identify the file as a POM, and then amend the example artifact details, as appropriate:

   <project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
    <groupId>com.mfcobolbook.cobol</groupId>
    <artifactId>MyMavenUnitTestProject</artifactId>
    <version>1.0.0</version>
    <build>
    </build>
   </project>

2. Before the <build> section, insert the <properties> section:

   <properties>
    <mfurun.executable>mfurun</mfurun.executable>
    <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
    <test.project.output.dir>${project.basedir}/New_Configuration.bin</test.project.output.dir>
    <test.project.output.artifact>MyMavenUnitTestProject.dll</test.project.output.artifact>
    <project.under.test.output.dir>${project.basedir}/../MyMavenProject/New_Configuration.bin</project.under.test.output.dir>
    <test.results.dir>test-results</test.results.dir>
    <test.results.junit.package>native.MyTestResults.testcases</test.results.junit.package>
   </properties>

3. If required, update the following properties, substituting the example values given above for ones for ones that match your configuration:

   Property	Description
   <test.project.output.dir>	The output directory for your unit testing project.
   <test.project.output.artifact>	The name of the output file.
   <project.under.test.output.dir>	The output directory of the project under test.
   <test.results.dir>	The directory in which to output the test results. This is relative to the project directory.
   <test.results.junit.package>	The package name for the test results.

4. Within the <build> tags, add the phases/goals, and dependency details:

   <plugins>
    <plugin>
       <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
       <artifactId>maven-antrun-plugin</artifactId>

               <env key="COBPATH" value="${project.under.test.output.dir}" />

5. Press Ctrl + S to save the file.

A build is invoked and the results of the build are shown in <project.output.dir>.

If you are running Maven test, ensure that the project under test has already been built using Maven. On completion of the test run, the location specified in <test.results.dir> contains the result of the tests.
