SWTBot for existing RCP application [message #1278614]

Hi all,

I'm a SWTBot newbie, so please excuse me if this is a dumb question. In my first tests, I created a simple RCP application in my workspace and I could write my first SWTBot tests for this RCP application. This was not problematic.

However, next I would like to test an existing RCP application with SWTBot too. This means I have a folder with all the plugins and the .exe for starting the RCP application.

First of all, I tried to follow the tutorial at:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/docs/videos/beginners/SWTBotHeadlessTestingForNovices/

However, this tutorial seems to be outdated. Due to this, I had a look at
https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution#Installing_headless_Testing_Framework

According to "Installing_headless_Testing_Framework" I have to execute this command:

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application org.eclipse.p2.director -consolelog -repository $SWTBOT_SITE -installIU org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.test.junit.feature.group -installIU org.hamcrest

In my concrete case I executed:

java -jar plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar -application org.eclipse.p2.director -consolelog -repository http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/releases/latest/ -installIU org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.test.junit.feature.group -installIU org.hamcrest

Anyway, I get the error message when executing that command in the eclipse folder which contains the plugins folder etc.:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.p2.director" could not be found in the registry. The applications available are: org.eclipse.equinox.app.error, org.eclipse.ui.rcp.sample.application.

Before that, I created the product for the RCP mail example and exported it.

Was it right to execute that command in that folder?

If that would work, I thought I would need to install my tests (my test plugin?) into the application. Would it be enough to put the .jar of the test plugin into the plugins folder of the RCP application?

To sum it up, I would like to test my already packaged RCP application outside of my Eclipse workspace but I don't know what exactly to do in what order. I greatly appreciate any kind of help.

Thanks in advance,
Stefan

This method to install artifacts is only valid if your application
contains the p2 director. In your case, you don't have p2 director, so
you'd rather try to install the swtbot bundles and their dependencies
with another method, such as copying files directly into your
application plugins/ directory.

That's worth trying...

Thanks for the quick answer. I now copied the following jars into the plugins folder of my RCP application:

And additionally I put the folder "org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless_2.0.5.20111003_1754-3676ac8-dev-e36" into the plugins folder.

I also put the .jar with the testclass into the plugins folder.

After that I executed the following command (based on https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution#Command-line)

java -Xms256M -Xmx768M -XX:MaxPermSize=1024M -jar <Path_To_App>/org.eclipse.ui.rcp.sample/target/eclipse/plugins/org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_*.jar
  -application org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplication -testApplication org.eclipse.ui.rcp.sample.product
  -data <Path_To_Workspace>/Workspace -testPluginName de.swtbot.tests formatter=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.XMLJUnitResultFormatter,
  <Path_To_Xml_Result>/TestResults.xml formatter=org.apache.tools.ant.taskdefs.optional.junit.PlainJUnitResultFormatter
  -className MyTestClass -os win32 -ws win32 -arch x86_64 -consoleLog -debug

As a result, I got the following error message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplication" could not be
found in the registry. The applications available are: org.eclipse.equinox.app.error, org.eclipse.ui.rcp.sample.application.

According to the troubleshooting page (https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Troubleshooting) this usually means that the org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.core plugin is not part of the target platform. However, in my eclipse in which I exported the product, the plugin is part of the active target platform.

Any idea what I could do to get SWTBot running? I mainly just want to include SWTBot into an existing RCP application. For that I took the simple Mail RCP example provided by Eclipse.

It's really difficult to setup an application that doesn't have p2
director... Do you have some p2 plugins in your application? Such as the
"dropins" one? If so you should try to put those plugins in the dropins/
folder.
Also, do you have the OSGi console plugin in your app? It could be
interesting to start the application with "-console" option and to use
the console to check whether SWTBot bundles are visible, and can be
started, and if they can't, why.

What do you mean by "is part"? Is it detected by the OSGi runtime?

It would be very helpful for other people if you could enrich this wiki
page with your experience and what you think can help other people in
the same case.

you could use the standalone director application

http://www.eclipse.org/downloads/download.php?file=/tools/buckminster/products/director_latest.zip

to install features in your rcp application.

Thanks for your additional answers. Unfortunately I don't have access to my laptop right now, so that I can't test new things. However, I also tested the steps with a p2 application. Executing the java -jar plugins/... command leads to this
error message:

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application {0} could not be
found in the registry. The applications available are: 
org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner, org.eclipse.emf.codegen.CodeGen, org.eclipse.emf.codegen.JMerger, org.eclipse.emf.
codegen.ecore.Generator, org.eclipse.emf.mwe.core.WorkflowRunner, org.eclipse.equinox.app.error, org.eclipse.equinox.p2.
director.app.application, org.eclipse.equinox.p2.director, org.eclipse.equinox.p2.garbagecollector.application, org.ecli
pse.help.base.infocenterApplication, org.eclipse.help.base.helpApplication, org.eclipse.help.base.indexTool, org.eclipse
.jdt.core.JavaCodeFormatter, org.eclipse.pde.build.Build

I found a thread indicating that the config.ini of the application is not setup properly. Anyway, the config.ini of that application has set the correct eclipse.product and eclipse.application property.

I'm not sure about the OSGi console. I will have to read on this at first, as I don't know what you mean at the moment. Basically I just set up the Eclipse Mail RCP project without changing it. Then I created a product configuration and exported that product. With that one I tried to execute the steps. Does this help you?

With "part" I mean that in my Eclipse that plugin is listed as contained in the target platform.

I think I will execute the steps again with a fresh Eclipse and the simple Mail RCP example from Eclipse again to make sure that I did not forget anything. Then I can try to collect my experiences.

Thank you very much for your help.

What's the full command-line you're using?
