Hi Mickael,

 

Thank you for the information, I better understand. Our product builds now successfully with all the tests, we can enjoy the power of build automation now!

You’re right Mickael, SWTBot is not the cause of the error; as suggested by Jeff and Matthias the problem was due to missing dependencies declaration in the MANIFEST.MF file of the test plug-in. It works now!

It's what I call "behavioral dependencies", and it's pretty common for SWTBot tests: you don't need the bundles APIs to write your tests, but you need the bundle behavior to have your tests working. In that case, I believe it makes sense to list those dependencies in MANIFEST.MF.

The thing I don’t understand is: why is it required to declare the dependencies explicitly in this plugin instead of using the target platform or the product that we just built before? I thought that it was possible to “install” the test plug-in in the packaged product and to use it for the UI tests.

The target-platform doesn't define the classpath of your surefire tests. Tycho resolves a classpath against the target-platform and according to the dependencies of your bundle. So classpath is a subset of the target-platform.
About setting a product, it's a product as defined by the product extension point (http://help.eclipse.org/luna/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.platform.doc.isv%2Fguide%2Fproduct_def_extpt.htm ) and NOT the product as defined with a .product, so it contains no info about packaging nor necessary bundles.

If you want to test about packaged applications, you might be interested in http://wiki.eclipse.org/Tycho/Testing_with_Surefire#p2Installed_with_reference_to_a_p2_product_IU , which allows to use the product IU which defines the dependencies
