Hello,

I am new to Eclipse/Java/JUnit. I have an RCP application and my job is to write tests for its functionality. I want to write a test for methos which shedules eclipse job (running some program in background)

I cant write test for such method because test get completed before the main threads jobs get finished and I cant check result of job.
-------------------
@Test
public void testRunTimeline() {
Session session = new Session()
Runner runner = new Runner();
runner.runJob(session)

//Need to wait for job to finish
assertFail("No result found", session.result().isEmpty);

}
-------------------

The test always fail because result is empty.

Does someone know how to handle this. Any code sample will be very helpfull

--
God bless you,
Ramesh

How would you write a unit test for a function called in another thread
by using Java Thread API? When you have solved this problem you can
apply the same solution to a function called by an Eclipse job.

Hint: One possible way of doing this is to invoke the join() function
after scheduling the job. I don't know, what you actually want to test,
therefore you might need to reflect on whether this is a reasonable
procedure.
