Hi,

Before we propose to use whatever technology in a broader scope, could we please make sure that existing use of that technology *works*?

We use the fragments way in Linux Tools https://git.eclipse.org/c/linuxtools/org.eclipse.linuxtools.git/ and it helped us significantly to get better unit tests. So doing it that way helps a lot but of course it's not a panacea.

 

AFAIK org.eclipse.tests.urischeme tests are not executed/running at all, see https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=565673.

This is due to the convoluted way tests are executed in nightly builds. If you look at https://ci.eclipse.org/platform/job/eclipse.platform.ui-Gerrit/24051/consoleFull the tests are executed via maven (aka in all gerrits) . So the tests run in some cases just not in the nightly/published test results.

 

Kind regards,
Andrey Loskutov

Many non-trivial functionality is buried in private methods and are hard to test just from API. In order to add tests on a more fine grained level when solving bugs I would like to see that such methods are opened up to package private. This would allow us to provide test cases in the same package as the class under test. However, this would require that the project hosting the tests is a fragment.

Something like org.eclipse.ui.tests, but as a fragment for plain unit tests. I could imagine a fragment „org.eclipse.ui.unittests“. Would this be feasible? If this would be in general OK then I would open a bug to track this and provide an example.
