Instructions

Build

These instructions assume the use of the Maven command-line client, and that Maven is correctly installed on your machine:

• Open your preferred CLI. (Command Prompt, PowerShell, bash, etc.)
• Enter mvn package (will run tests and build an executable JAR)

Test

These instructions also assume the use of the Maven command-line client:

• Open your preferred CLI.
• Enter mvn test, mvn verify, or mvn -Dtest=FamilyTreeTest test

Run

These instruction sets all assume that the application has been built:

Default file

• Run target/testBE-1.0.jar. Note that test.txt must be located in the JAR's working directory.
  • If you are running the JAR from the repository root (java -jar target/testBE-1.0.jar), no change is needed.
  • Otherwise, you must either:
    • Move test.txt to the directory from which you are running the JAR, or
    • Set the JAR's working directory by passing a -Duser.dir=Path/To/Test/Txt parameter in your java call.

Custom file

• Create a text file in the JAR's working directory (see above), then run target/testBE-1.0.jar, passing the file's name as the first argument.
  • For example, running the JAR from the repository root, for the file otherTest.txt would be java -jar target/testBE-1.0.jar otherTest.txt

Notes

• Valid line format is [ChildName] [ParentName]. Names cannot contain spaces. (This could be changed at a later time.)
• Invalid lines will cause the application to print a warning to the console, but will otherwise be ignored.
