SWTBot & acceptance tests tools [message #1763773]

Hi!

I am developing an Eclipse RCP application and I would like to perform some acceptance tests on it using SWTBot.

Do you know if it is possible or viable to integrate SWTBot with any acceptance test tool (JBehave, Gauge, Cucumber, etc)? Has anyone tried it ?

Is it possible at least to run SWTBot tests from Maven ?. I read something about Tycho, but I am totally lost since I have not found any tutorial that works for me, is there any step by step tutorial?. In other words, how to get

new SWTWorkbenchBot()

working outside Eclipse ?

Basically what I want is to create some SWTBot tests and run them in Jenkins.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hulk,

Yes it's possible to run SWTBot unit tests on your Eclipse RCP application using Maven and Tycho. Some Eclipse projects (e.g. Trace Compass) run extensive SWTBot unit tests as part of their Continuous Integration builds.

You can find some information here:

https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution

https://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/FAQ#How_to_use_SWTBot_or_some_UI_tool_for_testing.3F

Your SWTWorkbenchBot will not be working outside of Eclipse though, it will run inside Eclipse but your Maven/Tycho configuration will make sure to launch your Eclipse application before running the SWTBot unit tests.

Hi Patrick,

Thank you for your help. I was able to run some SWTBot unit tests using Maven and Tycho :).

Now, I wonder if there is a way to launch my RCP application by not using Tycho. Is there a way to do it programmatically?

...
startRCPContext(..); // code to start RCP application
SWTWorkbenchBot	bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot()
...

Best regards.

Hi Hulk,

I'm not aware of any way to do this programmatically.

This thread seems like it could be related, but it's 12 years old...
