I implemented several tests in the tests plugin in Xtext. I want to run these tests by a command line.
Can anyone help?

Hi

Just invoke XXXStandaloneSetup.doSetup() and load your *.xxx resources
as normal EMF resources.

Simply run them as you would do it with normal junit tests
(e.g. using maven tycho surefire)

I have been working on the ANT build.xml file and succeeded in compiling the junit tests but I am facing a strange error in the junit target. Here is my junit target and the used paths:

<property name="src.dir" value="src"/>
	<path id="junit.class.path">
		<pathelement path="${plugins_dir}/org.junit_4.11.0.v201303080030/junit.jar"/>
		<!-- <pathelement path="${plugins_dir}/org.hamcrest.core_1.3.0.v201303031735.jar"/>-->
		<pathelement path="${plugins_dir}/org.eclipse.emf.common_2.10.1.v20150123-0348.jar"/>
		<pathelement path="${plugins_dir}/org.eclipse.emf.ecore_2.10.2.v20150123-0348.jar"/>
		<pathelement path="${plugins_dir}/org.eclipse.xtext.junit4_2.8.1.v201503230617.jar"/> 
		<pathelement path="${plugins_dir}/org.hamcrest.core_1.3.0.v201303031735.jar"/> 
		<pathelement location="bin"/>
	</path>
	
	<target name="runjunit" depends="compile,delete_logs">
		<junit  printsummary="yes" haltonfailure="no" showoutput="yes" fork="false" >
		  	<test name="my.lang.xtext.LANG.tests.GeneralTestCases" haltonfailure="no" outfile="result">	  		
  		      <formatter type="plain"/>
  		      <formatter type="xml"/>
			</test>
				<classpath refid="junit.class.path">
					<!--<pathelement location="bin"/> -->
			</classpath>
		</junit>
	</target>

In the running of the ANT I got the error of class not found for the Hamcrest plugin so I added it and so other plugins were added as well because they were required. Then the ant gave the below error:

----------------
Type org.eclipse.xtext.junit4.XtextRunner not present
java.lang.TypeNotPresentException: Type org.eclipse.xtext.junit4.XtextRunner not present
at $Proxy4.value(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.reflect.Constructor.newInstance(Unknown Source)
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: org.eclipse.xtext.junit4.XtextRunner

at java.lang.Class.forName0(Native Method)
at java.lang.Class.forName(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Class.initAnnotationsIfNecessary(Unknown Source)
at java.lang.Class.getAnnotation(Unknown Source)

-------------------
so I added the org.eclipse.xtext.junit4_2.8.1.v201503230617.jar. The strange thing is that in the run it gave the same error of class not found AGAIN for the HAMCREST although it is already in the pathelement!!! Any clue if there is a connection somehow between xtext.junit4 and the hamcrest? or how can I fix the dependency issue?!

Hi i cannot help you with that. Using ant you have to manage clasdpath youseft. Maybe you can have a look at a xtext maven example to find out what tycho adds to the classpath
