How to relaunch AUT before each test class in test suite? [message #500459]

Hi All,

I see that by default SWTBot runner launches application under test for the whole test suite once. During testing I sometimes face critical issues that could shut down the application, so all other tests in suite fail afterwards. So I'm just wondering if it'spossible to relaunch AUT for each test class in the suite?

Thanks in advance,
Pavel

I'm interested in this answer too.

And I'v got a pretty simular question.
Is it possible to launch the AUT by hand, do something an then start SWTBot to test the already started application?

Thx for reply
Benni

Short answer:

You can't! Fix the critical issues that cause the application to shutdown.

Workaround:

You can mark the tests with an @Ignore annotation[1] to ignore running
them if they are a problem; and once the bug that causes the app to
shutdown is fixed, you can replace the @Ignore annotation with @Test.

1. Can't relaunch AUT... Because test suites resides at the AUT... But there's workaround, such as record the already executed tests and execute lefts after restarting
2. Use debug SWTBotTest, check Keep the JUnit running checkbox, you'll do something on AUT and rerun the testcases via remote execution commands
