Apache Flex FlexUnit is a unit testing framework for Apache Flex and ActionScript 3.0
applications and libraries. It mimics the functionality of JUnit, a Java
unit testing framework, and comes with a graphical test runner.
Getting the latest sources via git
==================================
You can always checkout the latest source via git using the following
command:
git clone https://git-wip-us.apache.org/repos/asf/flex-flexunit.git flexunit
cd flexunit
git checkout develop

Building Apache Flex FlexUnit
=========================
Apache Flex FlexUnit requires some build tools which must be installed
prior to building FlexUnit and it depends on some external software which
are downloaded as part of the build process. Some of these have different licenses.
See the Software Dependencies section for more information on the external software
dependencies.
Install Prerequisites
---------------------
Before building FlexUnit you must install the following software and set the
corresponding environment variables using absolute file paths. Relative file paths
will result in build errors.
*1) The bin directories for ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME should be added to your PATH.
On Windows, set PATH to
PATH=%PATH%;%ANT_HOME%\bin;%JAVA_HOME%\bin
On the Mac (bash), set PATH to
export PATH="$PATH:$ANT_HOME/bin:$JAVA_HOME/bin"
On Linux make sure you path include ANT_HOME and JAVA_HOME.
*2) If you are using Java SDK 1.7 or greater on a Mac you must use Ant 1.8 or
greater.
If you use Java 1.7 with Ant 1.7, ant reports the java version as 1.6
so the JVM args for the data model (-d32/-d64) will not be set correctly and
you will get compile errors.
Also if you use Java SDK 1.7 you may encounter SSL errors when downloading
3rd party files as part of the build process to fix this issue
On Windows:
create an environment variable called ANT_OPTS with the value
-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false
On the Mac (bash):
export ANT_OPTS="-Djsse.enableSNIExtension=false"
*3) FLEX_HOME should be set to a valid Apache Flex installation.
Software Dependencies
---------------------
Apache Flex FlexUnit uses third-party code that will be downloaded as part of the Apache
Flex FlexUnit build.
When you have all the prerequisites in place and the environment variables set,
(see Install Prerequisites above), use
cd <flexunit.dir>
ant thirdparty-downloads
The Apache Version 2.0 license is in the LICENSE file.
The following dependencies have licenses which are, or are compatible with, the Apache
Version 2.0 license. You will not be prompted to acknowledge the download.
The following dependencies have licenses which Apache considers to be reciprocal
licenses so you will be prompted to acknowledge the license before the software is
downloaded to your system.
