Handler and JUnit test [message #481747]

Hi,

First Thanks for reading this post.

I created an Handler class which deletes model elements from my tree
navigator. It semms to work well. Now I'm trying to write an integration
test for my Handler class. Therefore I used JUnit. I have basic knowledge
in JUnit but i never tested a Handler before. Wenn I start my test, i will
get a lot of NullPointExceptions.

For example that method in the class EMFTransactionPlugin causes an
Exception because getPlugin() returns null. public static String
getPluginId() {
return getPlugin().getBundle().getSymbolicName();
}
It is easy to understand because the whole UI interaction is missing in my
test.
I created an test Handler which gets me the UI event but how can i
intergrate it in my Junit test?

Now my question.
How can I create an integration test for handlers unsing Junit? Can
somebody please help me, maybe there is a tutorial?

Thank you very much!

When dealing with plugins, you can create a Junit test (the manifest for your test plugin must depend on org.eclipse.junit). Then you can run your test as a Junit Plug-in Test so that OSGi runs and starts up the appropriate bundles.
