Testing Xtext Language Server for generic IDE [message #1797860]

I have an XText Language Server for Generic IDE, which I am currently using in a Vs-Code Extension.

Now I want to test my validators using the JUnit Framework.

I have seen that Eclipse Plugins built with Xtext use the Xtext Junit Library (org.eclipse.xtext.junit4) for testing purposes.

However, Language Servers Written for Generic IDEs seem to use the normal JUnit Testing Framework (JUnit » 4.12) for testing the language server.

Can I test the validation for my generic language server with the XText Unit Library (org.eclipse.xtext.junit4) or does this library always require an Eclipse Instance?

i dont understand. xtext.junit4 is long deprecated by xtext.testing which has e,g, AbstractLanguageServerTest
have a look at https://github.com/eclipse/xtext-core/tree/master/org.eclipse.xtext.ide.tests for some samples
