my EMF model generated tests... [message #892340]

Hi,

I am trying to finally get some Junit tests running on my EMF model. The EMF model was created and code was generated for an RCP application. The model plugin itself "should" be standalone - right?

Well, my question is this: I generated the test code from the .genmodel. It created a project with appropriately stubbed out code. I try to run one of the resulting XXXTest.java files as Run As->Junit test .... and it fails to be able to load the class.

Is there a tutorial or information out there on doing this? I am just trying to test the model only - just create an object, or series of objects in my model, and verify that it is then providing the data I expect. This way we can create some automated tests that don't rely on the GUI display, and can test other aspects of the product.

I hope someone out there can help!

This only affects the generated editor; the model and edit bundles as
well as the EMF runtime and EMF Edit always function stand alone.

I tried it locally just now, and that worked for me. By "the class"
which class do you mean?

Can you run the XyzExample as a Java application or does that have class
loading problems too?

Did you modify the classpath of your model or tests?

Hi Ed,

I'm not sure what I changed....but with your hint I got it working. I basically removed the whole project, had the genmodel recreate it and voila! It worked!

I think it had something to do with the pom file associated with it at the time. It was probably changed early on when we were creating our product build (tycho/maven) and we never looked at the .tests projects until now!

Thanks!!

Sharon
