ABLUnitResults README

Features

• Seamless ABLUnit Testing: Run ABLUnit tests directly from VS Code and view the results in the Test Results view.
• Flexible Configuration Support: The extension automatically detects and uses your project's configuration. It supports:
  • OpenEdge Developer Studio workspaces: Automatically reads .propath, databaseConnection.xml, and .dbconnection files to configure the test environment, allowing you to import and use your existing Developer Studio projects in VS Code.
  • OpenEdge ABL Extension workspaces: Natively supports openedge-project.json for workspace configuration, integrating smoothly with the environment provided by the OpenEdge ABL Language & Debug Support extension from Riverside Software.
• Designed for Large and Small Projects: While optimized for large, time-consuming test suites, the extension is equally effective for running single, simple test cases.

Requirements

• Progress OpenEdge 11.7 or later installed
• the DLC environment variable needs to be set to the Progress OpenEdge installation path.

Example:

• Windows: DLC=C:\Progress\OpenEdge

Release Notes

1.0.4

• Native OpenEdge Developer Studio Workspace Support:
  • The extension now automatically discovers and uses configurations from native OpenEdge Developer Studio projects.
  • PROPATH Recognition:
    • It correctly parses .propath files to build the full propath for the test execution.
    • It robustly finds the project root, making it compatible with multi-root and nested project structures.
    • It handles various path formats, including @{ROOT} and paths starting with \.
  • Database Connection Discovery:
    • It automatically reads database connection details from the workspace's central databaseConnection.xml file.
    • It uses the project-specific .dbconnection file to load only the database connections that are relevant to the project being tested.
• General bug fixes and stability improvements.

1.0.3

• Repository url updated in package.json

1.0.2

• Improved robustness when running tests for the first time in a new workspace.
• Added support for OpenEdge Developer Studio project folders (which use a .propath file for propath configuration when openedge-project.json is absent).
• General bug fixes and stability improvements.

1.0.1

• Cleaner log, grouped output files into a .ablunitrunner folder

1.0.0

• Initial release of ABLUnitRunner VSCode extension
