[Anthill-pro] Is it possible to use Perl scripting withinAnthillPro?

[Scott Leon]

You're correct,

While we have many Java projects that will need to be migrated to AnthillPro, I'm currently working to migrate our Ruby applications.

For our Java applications we use Ant build scripts, rather than Maven.  The plan is to use CodeStation to hold our 3rd party libraries, in addition to AnthillPro generated artifacts.

Prior to working with AnthillPro, I've mainly worked with Ant, Perl, and Unix shell languages for scripting.  For build systems, I've built them myself and also used CruiseControl.

I haven't, however, had any exposure to BeanShell or Groovy, and have only limited exposure to Java and Javascript.

The BeanShell documentation is limited and not up to date with the version implemented into AnthillPro 3.4.x.

I'm certainly willing to learn BeanShell, but I also saw that Groovy and Javascript seemed to be available.  From limited Google searches, it looks like the regex implementation for Groovy is native, but the regex implementation for BeanShell is not native, but rather inherited from Java.

Since I currently don't know much about Groovy or BeanShell, and both seem to be available for use in scripting, it would be great to get peoples opinions as to which language to use going forward in AnthillPro.  It seems that Erik's vote is for BeanShell, what do the rest of you guys think?

Also, the specific issue I'm currently looking to find a solution for is to parse the summary line of a Rake unit test call.

The summary line looks like this

"15 tests, 10 assertions, 0 failures, 0 errors"

I want to parse this line to capture the "15", "10", "0", and "0".  Then do some calculations (i.e. percentage of test failures or errors).  Then fail the build if either of these percentages is below acceptable levels.

Any ideas?

Thanks
Scott

He probably is not using maven to build. Or it is not even a java project.
