Problems running headless junit4 tests with eclipse 3.4.2 [message #505397] Wed, 30 December 2009 06:42 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I have a feature based eclipse product that needs to include the org.eclipse.jdt feature for eclipse 3.4.2. This feature includes both junit-3.8.2 and junit4-4.3.1.
I'm trying to run the headless tests for this product by adding them as a separate feature to the product.

When I run the tests, the results are one of the following (I don't know why this happens and it's random with each new product build):
1. They fail with this error:
[java] Exception in thread "WorkbenchTestable" java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJUnitResultF ormatter
[java] at org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.EclipseTestRunner .run(EclipseTestRunner.java:331)
[java] at org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.EclipseTestRunner .run(EclipseTestRunner.java:208)
[java] at org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.UITestApplication .runTests(UITestApplication.java:115)
[java] at org.eclipse.ui.internal.testing.WorkbenchTestable$1.run(Work benchTestable.java:68)
[java] at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:595)
2. The tests run ok.
The thing that puzzles me is that sometimes the tests are run.
Is there any way that I can ensure the fact that XMLJUnitResultFormatter is taken from the junit4 plugin and not from the junit3 one?

I'm using version 2.0.0-433-dev-e34 of all swtbot features.

I know only one version of junit should be used at a time so:

I tried removing junit-3.8.2 from the final build, but the build just crashes silently after running a few tests.

Now I'm trying to run the tests from eclipse with junit-3.8.2 by removing the junit-4.3.1 plugin from the Launch configuration. But, in the Launch configuration Validation (I use "Launch with plugins selected below only"), I get an error saying that junit.framework version 4.3.1 is required by the swtbot.finders, swtbot.eclipse.ui and swtbot.junit4_x and of course, running the tests fails because the bundle that runs the tests can't be loaded due to this dependency.
Can I run the tests using only junit-3.8.2 somehow? The swtbot plugins are the only ones that need junit4.

Thanks.

Denis Golovin found an answer to a similar problem that worked for me ...
He said: "If you Eclipse Test Framework installed, than
org.eclipse.ant.optional.junit_*.jar should be deleted to fix this
problem. I had the same problem which was even worst, because this
happened for me sometimes, even if previous build was successful an
nothing changed for next one."
....
My bundle was in the CDT set of plugins. Once I removed it from my
launch configuration (and from my product plugin definition), it worked.

Indeed, I had that plugin in my product.
Deleting the org.eclipse.ant.optional.junit_*.jar fragment made the failing builds work.
Thanks.

That's great! I've updated the Troubleshooting[1] guide with this
information so it's easier to find and lookup.
