Problems with SWTBot and Spring-Context [message #515811]

Hey,

in our RCP-project we use Spring DM.

For normal Unit-Tests everything works fine, but if we test the GUI with SWTBot there is a problem with the Spring-Context. It seems to me that that the context can't be loaded.
and i don't know where the problem is. If the bot opens Views with no Spring-context in it, everything is allright.
We use the SpringExtensionFactory from Martin Lippert.

Does anybody do tests with SWTBot and Spring?

Greetings,

Stefan

I'm not sure what Spring DM does. You may want to compare the
MANIFEST.MF and plugin.xml of your swtbot test plugin and a normal test
plugin which works for you.

However we use good ol' Spring to run our SWTBot tests, it's a bit tricky.

To use spring with swtbot we added a RegisterBuddy header in the
manifest file of our test plugin:

Eclipse-RegisterBuddy: org.springframework

Cheers!

Hm, the Buddy-Policy didnt work.

I found a tutorial, where i register a Spring-Bundle, containing all libraries, as a buddy to my SWTBot-Test-Plugin.
That didn't work,too.

My next try was to copy the application-context from my GUI-Bundle to a new application context within my Test-Plugin. But now i
get an Illegal argument exception that noch classloader could be found for the test-plugin.

I forgot to mention that we use the SpringExtensionFactory to inject our dependencies into the views.

The thing i dont understand is, SWTBot starts the product itself. Where is the problem to load the contexts from the product or
even to start the product with with its own product-configuration???
