Testing multiple AUTs from Maven [message #1780309]

Fri, 19 January 2018 13:12

I've got a set of tests that I can run quite happily from inside Eclipse. I can also run them from Maven using the rcptt-maven-plugin. I'd now like to run the same set of tests across several versions of Eclipse (e.g. Mars, Neon, Oxygen) but I can't figure out how to configure the plugin to do this.

I have managed to configure multiple <aut> settings in my POM but only one environment gets tested.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Cheers,
KEv.

Hi Kev,

Try to specify few '<executions>' in your pom.xml with different configuration

Thanks Viktoria,
I tried that, my definition is like this:

			<plugin>
				<groupId>org.eclipse.rcptt</groupId>
				<artifactId>rcptt-maven-plugin</artifactId>
				<version>2.2.0</version>
				<extensions>true</extensions>
				<executions>
					<execution>
						<id>test-neon</id>
						<configuration>
							<aut>
								<explicit>E:\Eclipse-Test-Binaries\eclipse-jee-neon-3-win32-x86_64.zip</explicit>
								<injections>
									<injection>
  									<site>file:/<my generated repo></site>
  									<features>
  										<feature>my.feature.groupid</feature>
  									</features>
  								</injection>
  							</injections>
							</aut>
							<runner>
								<version>2.2.0</version>
								<vmArgs>
									<vmArg>-Xmx1024m</vmArg>
									<vmArg>-XX:MaxPermSize=256m</vmArg>
								</vmArgs>
							</runner>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
					<execution>
						<id>test-oxygen</id>
						<configuration>
							<aut>
								<explicit>E:\Eclipse-Test-Binaries\eclipse-jee-oxygen-1a-win32-x86_64.zip</explicit>
								<injections>
									<injection>
  									<site>file:/<my generated repo></site>
  									<features>
  										<feature>my.feature.groupid</feature>
  									</features>
  								</injection>
  							</injections>
							</aut>
							<runner>
								<version>2.2.0</version>
								<vmArgs>
									<vmArg>-Xmx1024m</vmArg>
									<vmArg>-XX:MaxPermSize=256m</vmArg>
								</vmArgs>
							</runner>
						</configuration>
					</execution>
				</executions>
			</plugin>

However, I get this message during build:
[ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.eclipse.rcptt:rcptt-maven-plugin:2.2.0:resources (default-resources) on project testing: The parameters 'aut' for goal org.eclipse.rcptt:rcptt-maven-plugin:2.2.0:resources are missing or invalid -> [Help 1]

As far as I can tell (referring to the link you shared) I've done this right; I didn't specify phase or goal since I didn't specify them in the original, single execution version. Plus, the error doesn't seem to relate to the phase; rather, it can't find the 'aut' element within the executions

Hi Kev,

This error is produced because maven runs default execution before two specified custom executions
You can open your pom.xml in Eclipse IDE and check 'Effective POM' tab to clearly understand how maven interprets a pom file.

Thanks Viktoria,

I have done that and I can see that with just one <configuration> the default-{resources,package,execute} executions are generated in the effective POM, but with two <execution>s in my POM the effective pom is very different - three very basic executions

<execution>
            <id>default-resources</id>
            <phase>generate-resources</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>resources</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
          <execution>
            <id>default-package</id>
            <phase>package</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>package</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>
          <execution>
            <id>default-execute</id>
            <phase>compile</phase>
            <goals>
              <goal>execute</goal>
            </goals>
          </execution>

and my two custom executions, so your explanation of my error is perfect.

I'm still at a loss as to how to get it to generate those three types of <execution> based on the two configurations I want to use. Do I have to manually generate the equivalent of the 'standard' effective POM for each configuration?

Try to name one of your executions as 'default-resources', so the default execution will be overridden
But I'm not sure it will work as you expect. Maybe it will be easier to run maven build few times with different profiles.

I finally managed to figure out how to do this - basically you need to create a parent project of packaging type 'pom' and then duplicate the pom.xml in two subfolders, changing the settings for each execution environment:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?><project>
  <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>
  <artifactId>myartifact</artifactId>
  <version>0.0.1-SNAPSHOT</version>
  <packaging>pom</packaging>
  <modules>
    <module>uitesting-mars</module>
    <module>uitesting-neon</module>
  </modules>
  <pluginRepositories>
    <pluginRepository>
      <id>rcptt-snapshots</id>
      <name>RCPTT Maven Snapshots repository</name>
      <snapshots>
        <updatePolicy>always</updatePolicy>
      </snapshots>
      <url>https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/rcptt-snapshots/</url>
    </pluginRepository>
    <pluginRepository>
      <id>rcptt-releases</id>
      <name>RCPTT Maven repository</name>
      <url>https://repo.eclipse.org/content/repositories/rcptt-releases/</url>
    </pluginRepository>
  </pluginRepositories>
</project>

then have folders uitesting-mars and uitesting-neon (in my case) with a pom.xml of packaging type rcpttest
