Did someone already used SWTBot to test Eclipse 4 applications? Any special setup required or should it just work out of the box?

I remember Mickael Istria opened a thread about this and I was able to dig it up. Not sure if it is much of help.

Thanks Sopot. Looks like SWTBot does currently not support Eclipse 4.

Hi Lars, Sopot,

SWTBot works just fine on SWT 4.x. It's good enough with application
using the compatibility layer (we use it for future versions on JBoss
Tools, based on 4.2.x, and expeiment no issue).
A few corner cases are known but I don't consider them as blocking. They
have there bugzilla entries and won't be forgotten.

But I'm currently trying to work on the most critical one:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=391802
I can't have the test application to run the tests. Actually, I can't
have any pure E4 application to run any test, I don't think it's related
to SWTBot.

Is there something special to know to run automated tests in E4? I'm
wondering whether this is possible or not.

Cheers,

Addendum: I'm speaking here about PDE tests inside IDE. It seems like the "Junit Test Plugin" lauch configuration fails to run tests when the target application is based on the E4 application model.
See comments and example on https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=391802

Did anyone successfully run a test case on an E4 application from PDE?

Also FYI, I've successfully run a (dummy) SWTBot test against a (dummy)
Eclipse4-based application with Tycho.

So I think that SWTBot may have some minor troubles with Eclipse 4, but
it works the same way it works for Eclipse 3 applications.

I now think that the big issue to fix is 296599 in PDE.

@Mickael can you document, e.g. via a blog entry, how to run SWTBot against Eclipse4 with Tycho? Would be nice to know how to do this.
