Programmatically backup workspace [message #197926]

Hi,

I am currently implementing a JUnit framework, one of the features
required is that if a test case fail or encounter errors, it will backup
the whole workspace programmatically and continue on with the next test
case. The backup workspace has to be able to relaunch again after the run
to perform futher investigation. Any suggestion of how to do this stably?

Thank you very much

bunch of hints :

you can use IWorkspace#copy method (to understand how it works please
read IResource#copy description)

you will also probably need
http://help.eclipse.org/help32/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse. platform.doc.isv/guide/resAdv_concurrency.htm

hope this helps

Hi,

I realize that IWorkspace#copy take IPath as the destination, does that
mean i cannot copy my workspce to my file system (outside of my
workspace)? Otherwise can you provide me more hits of how to do this?

Thank you very much

take a look on a Path class it can be build on any file system path

Hi,

i have done some tracing through the debugger and found out that

IResource.copy calls Resource.copy which eventually calls
LocationValidator.validatePath(IPath, int, boolean)

in the comment of this method it say "Validates that the given workspace
path is valid for the given type."

This method will return an Invalid status even if i supply a Path
"C:\workspace".

does the IResource.copy really will allows me to copy file in my workspace
to my file system? it seems like the IPath for IResource.copy must take a
workspace path.

Thank you very much
Benson
