best approach for unit testing [message #56458]

Hello,

We are starting our development using osgi, what would you suggest as a
best approach for unit testing? I see three approaches:

- In normal java development we create parallel source trees in the same
project, one for code and one for tests.

- The eclipse project uses separate plugins for testing.

- I was thinking about using fragments, so I don't need to put junit
dependencies in the main bundle but could deploy the test code as I wish.

Comments anyone?

Gustavo

Separate bundles is hte way to go. You can do pretty much everything you
need using bundles. If you have to access some package private members then
you might need to implement a fragment to expose these in the context of the
tests. I would suggest that you avoid including anything to do with testing
in the main domain plugins themselves.

I created a separate test bundle with dependencies on junit and tried to
run it as Junit plug-in test, but I'm having trouble getting the reference
to bundle context. My bundle test Activator class saves a BundleContext
reference on a static field so I can access it from the test case, but it
seems it's not being called before unit test execution.

you may have to set Eclipse-LazyStart: true or contrive to have your bundle
started by default. If you are launching as an Equinox framework you can do
this. Alternatively we are looking at putting in a switch to have
Update.configurator start all bundles as they are installed. That
capability is not in yet.

I am trying right now with two approaches -

- Junit and JUnitRunner Knoplerfish bundles
(http://www.knopflerfish.org/repo/index.html) where I can register a unit
test to be run by the runner bundle, more details in
https://www.knopflerfish.org/svn/knopflerfish.org/trunk/osgi /bundles_opt/junit/readme.txt

- Markus Barchfeld article about plug-in test automation, available in
http://www.eclipse.org/articles/Article-PDE-Automation/autom ation.html

I will report my progress here.

Did you find a solution ?
could you please give me a tip ?
Can I use the JUint PlugIn Test Runner to test OSGI-Bundle ?

Thanks
