Hi,

How do we do the unit testing for the Sapphire Models that we have developed. I tried doing the model testing like what is done for Sapphire Tests but in vain Sad

am getting the famous "Class Cant be instantiated" i knew very well that its because of missing model plugins, but in *tests plugin package i have included the required model + sapphire + junit plugins but when I run the "Run as Junit Plugin Test" it failes Crying or Very Sad

when i checked the junit-workspace i see my plugins + sapphire plugins are not loaded.

Not sure what I am missing ?

It's hard to tell the cause of this problem from this description. If you finding that a plugin (any plugin) not being loaded, there is likely a dependency resolution problem. Perhaps your target platform doesn't contain everything it should. It's been a while since I had to debug such issues, but I think there are some views that PDE provides for listing plugins in a running instance of Eclipse and interrogating their status. So try launching Eclipse in a normal mode (as opposed to for junit run) and then pock around with PDE debugging aids.

thanks for the reply and will try doing that but is there any document or pointer that talks about creating target platform ? I guess if I get that document i can mimick the dev-target of Sapphire for my plugin platform too.

There isn't a document that describes this, but a good rule to follow is to put together the target platform in the same manner that you put together an Eclipse install that you are going to use for other purposes.

Start with some base. Then use "Install New Software..." UI to point to a plugin repository. This will run installation through p2 mechanism which will validate and install all the dependencies. If dependencies cannot be resolved, you will be notified about the problems. So you will know then that your install needs work.

This isn't specific to Sapphire...
