Hello! We are lloking at the test tools for RCP for our E4 Application.
I understand E4 does not support e4 yet?
Are there any plans for that?
Thanks

Hi Alex,

Yes, E4 is not supported by RCPTT yet but it is in our roadmap: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=441067

Kind regards,
Ulyana.

I have an Eclipse 4 RCP application based on features and deployed as a product.
RCPTT can launch and record tests no problem but the RCPTT contexts are not
working for me as I expect.

My RCPTT workspace has a Project settings file which contains two contexts:

1. Workspace context which contains a project named DB1 holding a file database
containing one table named MARTIN.
2. Preferences context that contains a reference to the 'currentdatabase' DB1.

My RCPTT test inherits these two contexts from the project settings by default.

As the test runs, the AUT gets started up too early, before RCPTT
loads the files from the workspace context into the AUT workspace. I can see
project explorer in my AUT refreshing as the test runs. Is this a known issue with E4?

To bypass this issue, I have tried is using two workspace context, first one to
clear the workspace, then one to initialize the workspace with the necessary
database file. After the two workspace contexts have run I tried restarting the
application, such that when it restarts it will see the workspace as I intended and
then modify the database by removing table name MARTIN.

           
restart-aut
wait-until-eclipse-is-ready

wait -ms 2000
get-table -index 1 | select MARTIN
get-button "Drop Table" | click
get-window Confirm | get-button OK | click
get-table -index 1 | get-property "getItems().length" | equals 0 | verify-true

This workaround fails because rerunning the test second time fails, on the
second run of this test the table MARTIN should reappear and be able to be
removed. However it is not restored from the workspace context.

I expect that I doing silly stuff, any help is appreciated.

thanks
Martin

Hi Martin,

RCPTT still doesn't support e4, but it is already in progress now.
Let me come back to you when there will be first "raw" builds to check if the problem is fixed.

Kind regards,
Ulyana.
