SWTBot tests under buckminster [message #536448]

Hi

I'm trying to convert our builds from pde build to buckminster. But
there's a problem with the SWTBot tests. It's not possible to launch
these tests with the buckminster junit or launch command since
buckminster doesn't know the swtbot launcher type. For this to work one
should be able to install part of the swtbot infrastructure into
buckminster. In particular, the code containing the launcher should be
included in buckminster.

Buckminster itself can launch junit tests in its headless mode only
since https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=243293 was solved.
In order to launch junit tests headlessly the jdt team had to separate
some UI stuff from the rest
(https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=278844).

What's the situation in SWTBot? Is someone working on creating a
headless launcher? (I remember seeing a blog entry relating to this but
cannot find it anymore). Is it difficult to create my own headless
SWTBot launcher that I could install in buckminster?

Thanks for any hints/pointers
Peter

Hi,
There is already a headless test launcher. Its id is org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplica tion and it works in a similar way as the org.eclipse.test.uitestapplication.
This wiki page may be helpful: http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Ant You'll probably find a link to the blog entry that interested you from the following page http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Articles

Hi Mickael

Thanks for the info. I'm aware of the swtbottestapplication and how to
use it when launnching an eclipse instance. This is in fact what we are
currently using to run our swtbot tests.

The beauty of the buckminster junit, emma or launch commands is that you
can launch a "*.launch" configuration as you would do in the IDE. When
using buckminster headless, buckminster itself is the IDE and to launch
SWTBot tests, one obviously has to install swtbot first.

Now, the problem is that the launch type
org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.ui.launcher.JunitLaunchConfig is included in
the plugin org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.ui with dependencies to ui stuff.
It is not usable in a headless buckminster. To solve a similar problem,
the JDT team has separated the ui stuff from the rest.

Ok, I did not correctly understand your question, sorry ;)
I can't help you on that topic.

Cheers

Hi Peter,

SWTBot launcher merely launches tests in the non-ui thread.

If buckminister can already consume .launch files which can launch
pde-junit tests you are in luck!

PDE-JUnit launcher[0] has since 3.5 had a launch option[1] to do just this.

Tycho leverages this launch property[2] to launch tests in a non-ui thread.

You may try creating a launch config of type 'pde-junit' with the
run-in-ui-thread option turned off and see what mileage you get.

Let us know if that works well for you. I'm at best a noob with
buckminister. It'd be great if you could document any steps at
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Buckminister

Cheers!

Hi Peter,

I'd be curious to know if this solved your problem or made it worse!

Did you look at the SWTBot presentation from EclipseCon 2010 - there it was demonstrated how to use SWTBot and Buckminster - "runs out of the box" was a comment that stuck with me.

I can't find the link to the document of the presentation. I found only the pdf for eclipse con 2009 but not 2010
Where can I find the pdf document of the presentation of this year?

Hi Ketan

The normal pde-junit launch works perfectly well with SWTBot and
buckminster. I also tried to launch with the buckminster emma command
and this worked as well. I am quite happy with the combination of
hudson, buckminster and SWTBot.
