java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet. [message #1828434]

I have a suite of tests that run with no errors if it is executed inside the Eclipse environment (run as JUnit plug-in tests). The product chosen is "org.eclipse.platform.ide".

But, if the suite of tests is executed via console using Maven (mvn install) it appers the following error:
java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.
In this case I haven't set the "org.eclipse.platform.ide" product.

Do you have any idea to solve this issue?

Thanks in advice,
Alberto

Mostly people building Eclipse software use Maven with Tycho and use tycho-surefire-plugin to launch plugin tests.

I'm using "tycho-surefire-plugin". This is the build part of the pom.xml:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<failIfNoTests>false</failIfNoTests>
<product>org.eclipse.platform.ide</product>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>

Does the test really launch an IDE with a workspace? Where you're running it, is able to create a display? If you can look at the workspace, you can probably find more details in the log.

Now it works.
I modified the pom.xml as follow:

<build>
<plugins>
<plugin>
<groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
<artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<configuration>
<failIfNoTests>false</failIfNoTests>
<product>org.eclipse.platform.ide</product>
<useUIHarness>true</useUIHarness>
<useUIThread>true</useUIThread>
</configuration>
</plugin>
</plugins>
</build>
