| how can you write unit tests to see your dynamic content help has been processed [message #474116] |

One of our help plugins contains a lot of <include>.
Sometime the included documents (which are generated) have errors that
prevent the include to work.
I would like to write a junit test that launches all the help pages
which have includes and checks that they are processed succesfully.
I am happy for the unit test to just use the internal help view.
any ideas / starting points ?

Hi Quinn,
to use my approach you need to be able to write and run Eclipse Junit
tests.
There are plenty of learning resources on eclipse.org.

This ties in with an idea which I have been interested in which is to
add some infrastructure in the help system for verifying content.
Currently we have JUnit tests in org.eclipse.ua.tests which verify that
each page in a TOC can be loaded. The class which does this is
org.eclipse.ua.tests.help.toc.TocLinkChecker. It would be interesting to
extend this to add more checks for each page such as checking for
missing includes, images or broken interpage links. I don't have time to
do this in the near future but if you would be interested in
contributing the code to do the include checking I could give you
pointers on how to go about it.

Thanks, but for now
I solved the problem by launching a workbench test that
instead of parsing
InputStream istream = HelpSystem.getHelpContent(href);
which returns a fileinputstream without having processed the include
goes through the webapp that serves the help pages
URL helpUrl = BaseHelpSystem.resolve(href, false);
and from the url -> inputstream -> sax input source ...
does the test trick for me :-)

This is exactly the same funactionality that I need, however, I am not a
Java developer. Would you be willing to share (in detail, for a
non-developer) how this was accomplished?
Thanks,
Quinn
