Hi,

I am unit testing a Birt Report using JUnit. The method that I am testing requires a IReportContext object. Is there an easy way of creating this object? I know that I can't instantiate the object but is there any method of another object that allows me to create a IReportContext with an existing *.rptdesign? Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

Thanks,

Marc

Marc,

Are you using 3.7? If you are using the POJO runtime you can do
something like:

RunAndRenderTask task = (RunAndRenderTask)
engine.createRunAndRenderTask(design);
..
..
task.setRenderOption(options);
task.run();

IReportContext irc = task.getReportContext();
task.close

If you are using previous version the only easy way I can see to do this
is to modify the engineapi.jar to have the RunAndRenderTask or implement
a JavaEventHandler for the report and when it is called it will pass the
report context to the event handler.

Jason,

Thanks for the reply. I am using Birt 2.6. I guess Birt 2.6 RunAndRenderTask object does not have the getReportContext(). Is this true? I think maybe I should move up to the 3.7 version.

Thanks,

Marc

Marc,

It does have it but it is not exported to the engine-api jar file.
