Use Junit 4.7 with SWTBot [message #492144]

Hello,

I use SWTBot with eclipse 3.4.2. is there a chance to use the newest version of junit (4.7)?

And if yes, what should I change for that? Should I only include it or must I contribute the swtbot plugins?

Eclipse the jdt-junit plugin in 3.4.2 depends on a particular version of
junit, changing the version by dropping in a new junit may not work. You
may try changing things though and see how it goes.

Hello,

thanks,

what is a good way to make this changes.

I hava an idea.

I generate a new plugin from the junit 4.7 jar.

Then I remove all dependencies and import packages of the junit4.3.jar from the swtbot plugins and add the junit 4.7 plugins as dependencie.

After that I build swtbot as a new version and add this to my eclipse installation.

Is that a good way, or not?

You could try dropping in the junit 4.5 bundle from eclipse 3.5 (and
picking up the eclipse 3.5 version of swtbot) and see how far you can go.

Hello Ketan,

can you explain me that.

Dit you mean, I should use the eclipse 3.5 version of the plugin org.eclipse.swtbot.junit4_x with the junit 4.5 libary? or have I misunderstood you?

1. Download eclipse 3.5
2. copy the org.junit4 plugin from eclipse 3.5 to eclipse 3.4
(overwriting it)
3. download swtbot for eclipse 3.5
4. copy the org.eclipse.swtbot.junit4_x because it works with junit>=4.3.

Thanks for the detailed replay.

But unfortunately, that doesnt function.

I dont get any compile errors bt when I start the test class as an swtbot test, I get the following exception.

Quote:

Exception in thread "WorkbenchTestable" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: No Classloader found for plug-in org.eclipse.jdt.junit4.runtime

But a normal Jnit Test for a single class does function

That's because the org.eclipse.jdt.junit4.runtime depends on junit4
between the range 4.2-4.4 as such it does not load up because the junit
version is 4.7.

You may need to additionally muck around with the
org.eclipse.jdt.junit4.runtime (possibly other plugins as well) and
change it's manifest (and delete the signatures in META-INF)

I'd recommend filing a bug on jdt and asking them for a workaround (I've
copied the jdt newsgroup)
