Retrieving the sytem registry from within JUnit [message #24633]

Hi

I'm trying to write some JUnit tests that need to have access to a remote
system in order to copy files across. I am trying access the registry via
RSECorePlugin.getTheSystemRegistry(), which works fine within a UI Thread
but simply returns NULL from within a JUnit Thread. Do you have any advice
on how to retrieve the system registry from within JUnit? I am currently
using:

Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
ISystemRegistry registry =
RSECorePlugin.getTheSystemRegistry();
}
});

But to no avail.

Many Thanks
Paul

Hi Paul,

I think that at the time being, you'll need to run your unit
tests as "JUnit Plug-in test" which starts a complete Eclipse
instance. Then, ensure that the RSEUIPlugin is loaded.

For example, look at our unit tests in org.eclipse.rse.tests
-- The RSEFileServiceTest as well as the RSEFileStoreTest classes should
have some helpful code for you.

Cheers,
