Launching Unit Tests with the Testframework for an RCP Application [message #458440]

Hi all,
I am setting up an Integration Buildsystem for a RCP Application. After
building the product, I want to run the Unit tests. To do this I created
a test.xml. This snippet shows the call to the libary.xml of the test
plugin:

<target name="suite">
<delete dir="${tests-workspace}" quiet="true"/>
<echo message="stx-folder: ${tests-workspace}"/>
<ant target="ui-test" antfile="${library-file}"
dir="${stixdb_test_app}">
<property name="data-dir" value="${tests-workspace}"/>
<property name="plugin-name" value="${plugin-name}"/>
<property name="classname"
value="de.aysada.stixdb.AllStiXDBTests"/>
</ant>
</target>

This launches the Test but I got this Exception:

[java] [java] junit.framework.AssertionFailedError

junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47)

In the code I saw, that I have to set the Test Application ID. I found
no property to set this.

My quick solution is to patch the libary.xml and it works.

What is the correct way to specify the test application?

If you follow the Eclipse testing workflow, you will notice that there are 2 test.xml files one at top level and other in the plugin directory.

The top level derives the plugin name from the test.properties file , copies the required test plugins to test eclipse setup and calls ant task on test.xml inside your plugin directory.

Hope this helps.

How are you running the test.xml script?

Hi,
first thanks for the answer.
I followed the article on eclipse
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html
and the document from the test framework.

In the Article they build a new feature for the Eclipse and use the
Eclipse automated tests. First I tried that also, but it seems the
automated test expect a full Eclipse. I have an RCP application with
only a subset of eclipse features. So I changed to the eclipse test
framework.

Was that the wrong decision?

Karsten

I run the test.xml from my customTarget.xml:




<target name="postBuild">
<antcall target="gatherLogs" />
<antcall target="test" />
</target>




<target name="test">
<property name="testSystem" value="${buildDirectory}/../testenv" />
<property name="testPlugin"
value="${buildDirectory}/plugins/de.aysada.stixdb.test" />
<echo message="Preparing StIXDB Testenviroment"/>
<delete dir="${testSystem}" />
<mkdir dir="${testSystem}" />
<echo message="Test Target System ${testSystem}"/>
<unzip dest="${testSystem}"

src=" ${buildDirectory}/I.TestBuild/de.aysada.stixdb.feature-TestB uild-linux.motif.x86.zip "
/>
<unzip dest="${testSystem}"

src=" ${buildDirectory}/I.TestBuild/de.aysada.stixdb.test.feature- TestBuild-linux.motif.x86.zip "/>
<copy todir="${testSystem}/stixdb">
<fileset dir="${buildDirectory}/../stix_testenv" >
<include name="**/*.*"/>
</fileset>
</copy>
<ant antfile="${testPlugin}/test.xml" target="run" dir="${testSystem}">
<property name="os" value="linux" />
<property name="ws" value="motif" />
<property name="arch" value="x86" />
</ant>

</target>

Karsten,

Hoping your issue is resolved :)

Else, You seam to be on the right track.
To debug:
In your test.xml try echo of plugin-name and see if its getting passed correctly?

Were you able to run your scripts independently, i.e without hooking it into your build?

Few ways to do that:
Unzip your eclipse.zip in <eclipse-auotmated-home>
1. java -jar startup.jar -application org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner -buildfile <test-pluin>\test.xml -Declipse-home= <eclipse-auotmated-home>\eclipse

2. include your test plugin in test.properties, include new target for yours in test.xml, replace junit.test.jar with your jar
Remember to include all plugin need for testing under requiredplugins param for you target.Since installplugin target copied these plugins from test_*.jar to eclipse setup.
and try running runtests.bat <your-test-target>

Hi
my tests runs now on an integration server.
thanks for your support.

Thats a gud news.

Just curious to know what was going wrong. I would be moving on the same track in near future and would like to avoid being in same situation as you.

Thanks
