Avoid dependencies for headless tests [message #659672]

Hi all,

when trying to run SWTBot tests headlessly as described e.g. in

http://richardadams606blog.blogspot.com/2010/04/headless-swt bot-testing-for-eclipse-rcp.html

it seems that I have to include the following features in my product in order to
get the tests running:
org.eclipse.platform
org.eclipse.pde
org.eclipse.jdt

Thereby, those features introduce a lot of new dependencies and lead to the
problem that the plugins included in those features contribute UI elements like
menu and toolbar actions to the RCP application under test which is undesirable in
our case.

I wanted to ask whether those features are strictly necessary when running SWTBot
tests headlessly or whether it can be avoided to include all of them?

Thanks in advance for any help!

Kind regards,
Ovidio

Hi,

You'd rather create your own test feature that includes SWTBot, its deps, and your tests. You'll have better control on the bundles you include.

Mickael,

thanks a lot for the hint! Creating a separate feature which lists the
individual bundles or even creating a product definition which directly
lists the required bundles indeed works fine.

Thanks again for your help & kind regards,
Ovidio
