Starting RCP with workspace: autrun.exe and -data option [message #934034]

Hi, I'm having trouble starting my RCP so as it does not prompt for a workspace. I managed to do this from the ITE but now i'm trying to make things happen in a CI environment and i'm trying to start the AUT with autrun.exe.

This is the command i'm executing:

START ./target/jubula/server/autrun.exe -rcp --workingdir c:\Mule-Tooling\org.mule.tooling.jubula.test/target/MuleStudio  --autid "AUT MuleStudio" --kblayout en_US --autagenthost localhost --autagentport 60000 --exec c:\Mule-Tooling\org.mule.tooling.jubula.test/target/MuleStudio/MuleStudio.exe -data c:\Mule-Tooling\org.mule.tooling.jubula.test/target/studioworkspace

I've tried several variations on that last part (-data"C:...", -data "C:...", all the --exec param wrapped in "...", etc), but I can't seem to solve this on my own. The RCP starts but prompts for a workspace all the same.

Any clues?

Thanks!

As of now I'm working around this issue doing this:

<mkdir dir="${path-to-RCP-installation}/configuration/.settings" />
<propertyfile file="${path-to-RCP-installation}/configuration/.settings/org.eclipse.ui.ide.prefs">
	<entry key="MAX_RECENT_WORKSPACES" value="1" />
	<entry key="RECENT_WORKSPACES" value="${desired-workspace-location}" />
	<entry key="RECENT_WORKSPACES_PROTOCOL" value="3" />
	<entry key="SHOW_WORKSPACE_SELECTION_DIALOG" value="false" />
	<entry key="eclipse.preferences.version" value="1" />
</propertyfile>

This is a piece of ant code (either that you build with ant or with maven+antrun plugin) that creates and specifies the configuration file where RCPs search for their workspace-startup configuration. Set the value of RECENT_WORKSPACES to the workspace directory you want to use.

Hope it helps, still hoping to hear some help my problem with autrun.exe Smile

Hi Alejo,

is it possible for you to use testexec instead of autrun?

Regards,
Felix

Hi Felix, I'm starting the AUT via autrun in order to decouple the test execution configuration from the environment it will be deployed in.

In more concrete terms: if I don't use autrun, I have to pre-establish the AUT configuration (executable path, workspace path) in the database and pass along it's ID to testexec.

Using autrun, I can determine these parameters dynamically on my maven build. I extract my RCP on a /target folder relative to the maven project that is executing the tests. This way I could even register different agents to run the build, and not worry about where it will be deployed, as long as it is a Windows machine. I could manage profiles to the maven configuration add specific directives for each OS though, and have a truly OS-independent maven project that runs the integration tests.
