I am trying to write unit tests for my build. Part of the build that I am
testing would create a war, but I do not want a war to be created every time
I run the tests. However, I do want to see that the target to build the war
was executed.

I am using jUnit to run the ant tasks and am trying to override the target
that will create a war, replacing it with a simple property task that I can
test against.

The target I am testing looks like:

   <target name="determineDeployOrigin" >
   <if>
     <equals arg1="${buildWar}" arg2="yes" />
     <then>
       <antcall target="createWar" />
       <property name="deploy.origin" value="${deploy.dir}/${deploy.warname}"
/>
     </then>
     <else>
       <property name="deploy.origin" value="${deploy.webcontent}" />
     </else>
   </if>
 </target>

I am testing this logic in Junit, simply by asserting that "deploy.origin"
and "executed.properly" are what I expect after overriding createWar:

 @Test
 public void determineWarDeployOrigin(){

   Target createWar = new Target();
   createWar.setName("createWar");
   
   Property createWarTestProperty = new Property();
   createWarTestProperty.setProject(project);
   createWarTestProperty.setName("executed.properly");
   createWarTestProperty.setValue("true");
   
   createWar.addTask(createWarTestProperty);

   if(project.getTargets().get("createWar") == null){
     fail("createWar target not found in web-deploy.xml");
   }
   project.addOrReplaceTarget("createWar", createWar);

   project.setProperty("buildWar", "yes");
   assertNull(project.getProperty("deploy.origin"));
   project.executeTarget("setLocalDeployProperties");
   project.executeTarget("determineDeployOrigin");

   assertEquals("true",project.getProperty("executed.properly"));
 
assertEquals("C:/builds/local/dist/RCMii.war",project.getProperty("deploy.origin"))
 }

The problem is that "executed.properly" is always null, unless I explicitly
call execute() on createWarTestProperty task. Is there something that I am
doing wrong in creating the createWar target?
Any suggestions are appreciated...
