How to improve the ADT Class Runner with additional Features

What is a Class Runner?


A class runner is a great tool to test code snippets and run code directly from ADT. You can even write a simple log to the console in Eclipse.

What can be improved?


When using multiple systems and complex projects I got annoyed at some point in time, that I don't know from which system the last log was, when it was written by which runner and if the last execution has finished or failed maybe.

Thats when I started my own class runner that have some improved capabilities.

How does it look like?


The output looks like this:

◉ You see when, what, by whom and where it was started.
◉ For every log entry you get a timestamp.
◉ You see when the execution finished.
◉ All times and dates are formatted in your personal date and time format

What about the ABAP code? Your code gets defined in the logic() method.

CLASS zcl_runner_demo DEFINITION
  PUBLIC
  INHERITING FROM zcl_base_runner
  FINAL
  CREATE PUBLIC .

  PUBLIC SECTION.
    METHODS: logic REDEFINITION.
  PROTECTED SECTION.
  PRIVATE SECTION.
ENDCLASS.

CLASS zcl_runner_demo IMPLEMENTATION.
  METHOD logic.
    write( `Hello World` ).
    write( `this is a demo of the enhanced class runner` ).
    write( 123 ).
  ENDMETHOD.

ENDCLASS.
 

Methods write() and out->write()


The write() method has the same signature as the out->write() method, you can even access the original out->write() if needed.

  METHOD logic.
    write( `Hello World` ).
    write( `this is a demo of the enhanced class runner` ).
    write( 123 ).
    out->write( `bare write` ).
  ENDMETHOD.

of course you can pass structured and table data to write(), like you can do to out->write()

  METHOD logic.
    DATA ls_airport type /dmo/airport.
    write( `Hello World` ).
    ls_airport = value #( airport_id = 'SAP' city = 'Dokkerland' ).
    write( ls_airport ).
    write( name = 'Info about airport' data = ls_airport ).
  ENDMETHOD.

Uncaught exceptions


Method logic is secured against uncaught exceptions. 

  METHOD logic.
    write( `Hello World` ).
    raise EXCEPTION new cx_abap_invalid_name(  ).
  ENDMETHOD.
 
It logs the behaviour:

How does it look under the hood?


It is basically an abstract class that wraps the original ADT class runner:
