run tests with maven/tycho headless [message #1718738]

On your homepage https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution

you describe how to configure maven tycho to have a the tests executed against a running application.

I wonder if there is a simple way to execute swtbot tests headless with maven tycho build. Does anybody have such an example out there?

Thanks for your advice

This is what I use in the POM for my GUI tests plugin, works fine.

<build>
  <plugins>
    <plugin>
      <groupId>org.eclipse.tycho</groupId>
      <artifactId>tycho-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
      <version>${tycho-version}</version>
	<configuration>
	  <useUIHarness>true</useUIHarness>
	  <useUIThread>false</useUIThread>
 	  <product>my.product</product>
	  <application>my.application</application>
	</configuration>
      </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

This is also what I use with tycho but it is not headless.

as Mickael suggested, you might want to have a look at
test-mojo.html#testRuntime; that's quite a powerful feature, though I
had a few problems to set it up at the beginning ;)

You might want to have a look at this example

https://github.com/LorenzoBettini/javamm/blob/master/javamm.swtbot.tests/pom.xml

In this example, I run the SWTBot tests against a provisioned Eclipse
(with my features/bundles installed). This gives you much more
confidence, since it actually simulates what your users have once they
installed your features in an Eclipse.

Hope this helps
Lorenzo

Thanks for your answers. But everything you showed above with tycho is not headless. So I assume the only way to run a headless build is with ant as you described it here http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution#Ant

Then it is not clear what you mean by "headless" :)
