This is the project for homework from Rita.

1. Compare two XML files and test if them similar.
2. Use TestNG, Java 8, log4j

I use log4j2 with configuration file log4j2.xml. All logs goes to console and to the log file (logs/output.log by default).

1. Set up properties

   task_one_gold_data=src/data/gold_data/A.xml
   task_one_output_data=src/data/output_data/B.xml
   task_one_ignore_nodes=paratext;cite.query

   where

   Property	Description
   task_one_gold_data	Control XML file we will compare against
   task_one_output_data	XML file we will test and compare with Control
   task_one_ignore_nodes	XML node names (array of values separated with ';' or ',') to ignore during comparing. May be empty.

   Another way to set up these properties is to pass it through CLI.

   example:

   mvn clean test -Ptask1 \
       -Dtask_one_gold_data=src/data/gold_data/A.xml \
       -Dtask_one_output_data=src/data/output_data/B.xml \
       -Dtask_one_ignore_nodes=paratext\;cite.query

   Note that I use this priority to get properties (from more important to less important)

   1. Environment variables
   2. System Properties
   3. Properties from test.properties file

   If both test.properties and System Properties have the same value, I use System property :)

2. Run tests using Maven

   mvn clean test -Ptask1

1. Compare two big XML files and test if them similar.
2. Files are comparing by pairs with names A-B, A1-B1, A2-B2
3. All data files are in the Files.zip archive that we put to the project directory before test execution
4. Files from the archive extracts to appropriate directories (gold_data and output_data) automatically
5. Ignore tag <cite.query> while comparing. We only need to ignore the node definitions and save the text. The text should be compared as part of node.
6. Add file error.log with

All logs goes to console and to the log file (logs/output.log by default).
Comparison differences goes to file logs/error.log

1. Set up properties

   task_two_ignore_nodes_definitions=cite.query
   task_two_zip_data_file=../Files.zip
   task_two_gold_data_folder=src/data/gold_data
   task_two_output_data_folder=src/data/output_data

   where

   Property	Description
   task_two_ignore_nodes_definitions	Xml node names to ignore their definitions
   task_two_zip_data_file	Data files ZIP archive
   task_two_gold_data_folder	Folder with control XML files we will compare against
   task_two_output_data_folder	Folder with XML files we will test and compare with Control files

   Another way to set up these properties is to pass it through CLI as mentioned above in the task1.

2. Put the ZIP archive with control and test files to the root project directory or wherever you want but set task_two_zip_data_file with absolute file path then.

3. Run tests using Maven

   mvn clean test -Ptask2
