Hi all,

I use Eclipse - 3.3.2 and I am on Windows XP.
I have written a eclipse-plugin which I want to test out with eclipse
tptp-4.4.1 which I have not been able to.

The details are as follows :

I switch to 'Test' perspective and I get a view called 'Recorder control'.
I press the red 'Create new test from recording' button and it brings up a
window that asks me to select Recorder.
There is only one recorder available and is called 'HTTP Recording' and is
selected. I press next and give file name and press finish. It brings up
browser and when I close it recording stops and a test file gets created.

As I want to test out my eclipse plugin and not a webapp, I set in
preferences ->Test ->HTTP Recording -> 'Application to record' to None.

Then I try to record again by pressing the above said red button, the
browser doesn't come up instead I see a message 'Recorder Initialization
completed. You may manually start the application'. Then I run my plug-in
project which comes up in a new runtime workbench and closes immediately.
Then I stop the recoding myself and this time I see no test file having
been created.

I just can't get testing (recording mouse clicks and replaying) the
plug-in to work using tptp.

I found this page
http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/test/documents/userguides/Intro- Auto-GUI-4-4-0.html#1.3

on the web but is not in sync with my installation (4.4.1).

How do I record tests on my plug-in?

Thanks.

Hi Prasanna,
The URL Recorder and TPTP URL Test type is for recording and performance
testing web applications. You want to use the TPTP Automated GUI Recorder
(AGR):

Hi Paul,

Thanks so much but my plug-in testing with eclipse - tptp hasn't started
off yet.

I'd like to draw your attention to section 2.0 in the online document you
referred me to.
There is a screen shot of 'New' dialog.
When I follow the step 5 provided in that document I don't get the
(selected in the document) option : 'TPTP Automated GUI Test'.

The options I see are :

Test Case
Test from Recording
TPTP JUnit Plug-in Test
TPTP JUnit test.
TPTP Manual Test.
TPTP URL Test.

I have installed tptp 4.4.1.
What do I do to have the option 'TPTP Automated GUI Test' in New -> Test
window?

Thanks.

I downloaded the tptp AGR feature from this page :

http://archive.eclipse.org/tptp/4.1.0.1/TPTP-4.1.0.1/

I installed it using update manager -> Add new Local site.

I do find the option "TPTP Automated GUI Test" when I follow step 5 in
section 2.0 in the document as File Menu > New > Other > Test.

When I select "TPTP Automated GUI Test" and press "Next", I get a popup
with the message : "The selected wizard could not be started. Reason :
Plugin org.eclipse.tptp.test.auto.gui as unable to load class
org.eclipse.tptp.test.auto.gui.internal.wizard.AutoGUITestSu iteNewWizard ".

Now what should I do?

Thanks.

Hi Prasanna,
I would suggest installing the AGR using the standard installation
steps:

Hi Prasanna,
TPTP and AGR are built on Eclipse, so they can be integrated with your
application, assuming they use the same versions of Eclipse/EMF/XSD, for
testing your application.

I would suggest installing the AGR using the standard installation
steps:

http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/test/documents/gettingstarted/Au tomated_GUI_Recorder_Getting_Started.html#2.0

Hi Paul,

Even after I downloaded the latest eclipse, tptp plug-in and AGR, I
continue to get the same message :
I get a popup with the message : "The selected wizard could not be
started. Reason : Plugin org.eclipse.tptp.test.auto.gui as unable to load
class
org.eclipse.tptp.test.auto.gui.internal.wizard.AutoGUITestSu iteNewWizard ".

This is frustrating. What can be the possible solution?

Thanks.

Hi Prasanna,
I have verified that the TPTP 4.5.1 release and TPTP 4.5.2 candidate
build (TPTP-4.5.2-200810210100) build is working. I believe that your
installation is somehow faulty. Please:

1) Download the TPTP all-in-one and AGR ZIPs.
2) Unzip the TPTP all-in-one ZIP.
3) Unzip the AGR ZIP in the <Eclipse home>/eclipse/dropins.
4) Start Eclipse with the -clean option.
