Hello newsgroup.
We have a growing number of JUnit-Plug-In tests for components of our software that do not need the
UI to run. These tests could be run with the "headless" application option if we had the
org.eclipse.ui.ide plug-in in our target platform.
Unfortunately, this is not the case. Right now the tests are instead run with dedicated stipped down
Eclipse applications. I already tried to modify the Application class so it does not call the
PlatformUI.createAndRunWorkbench method. But apparently the JUnit tests are not executed then.
What do i have to do in the Application.start method to get the tests run without creating
a workbench?
Thanks,
Marcel

Hi Marcel,
still alive and working on RCP??? :d
Headless RCP Testing is a Pain in the Ass (well, sometimes...)
By Headless testing, you mean within an Headless Build outside the IDE or within the Beast? :roll:
How does your setup look like? Are your tests defined in separate Fragments?
In my experience, you cannot modify the application-class, because your tests propably may need a running workbench, I would rather recommend using a separate target-plattform for your unit-tests.
We implemented this once and that worked like a charm!
Grüssle
Martin
