Hi Mark,
With the AGR, there is little support for controlling the timing of a
test execution. In fact, the 'wait' command is the only way to do this but
there are limitations (see
http://www.eclipse.org/tptp/test/documents/userguides/Intro- Auto-GUI-4-5-0.html#2.5):
-only the current thread is suspended
-there is only one argument ('time-to-wait')
-without the 'time-to-wait' argument, test execution is suspended until the
current Eclipse jobs are completed, which may be include the task you want
to wait for
-with the 'time-to-wait' argument, test execution is suspended for the fixed
amount of time specified, which may slow test execution to ensure sufficient
time is specified to cover the entire task
Unfortunately, there is no way to get the Progress View into a different
shell.

With some investigative work, I found out that the wait was only waiting
for non-System Eclipse jobs. This caused me issues since once a launch
has been executed, the job is removed from the JobManager. I needed to
find out how to change the wait to look launches too and I have been able
to modify the wait command to wait for a launch to finish.
What I was able to do:
Assume: Only one launch at a time and always wait until launch is finished
What I changed:
Modified the wait command for when the "time-to-wait"= 1, poll the
ILaunchManager for any launches, wait for the launch to be terminated,
then return from the wait command
I figured that the value of 1 was safe for me to use since there is not
much use for waiting 1ms. It is somewhat of a hack with a few
assumptions, but it works and now my tests function correctly. When I
have more time, I hope to extend the wait command to accept a new
attribute so that I do not rely on a 'key value' from the "time-to-wait"
attribute.
Hope that might be able to help others in thinking about their own waiting
issues.

Hi Mark,
Great work! Would you be interested in contributing this code to the
TPTP project? If so, please review the Eclipse Legal process for
contribution (Figure 3 of
http://www.eclipse.org/legal/EclipseLegalProcessPoster.pdf) and open a
defect with the fix attached as a patch.
Thanks,
Paul
