[jubula-dev] Extension Development - JSlider-Example doesn't work

[Jannik Hell <jannikhell@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi!

I have a couple of problems getting the Jubula Extensions work.

My goal is to extend the Jubula Application with my own custom GUI-Components.
They can't be captured by default.

So I started creating an Eclipse-plug-in following the Guidelines of the official "Functional Testing Extension Manual" (June 17, 2013) in chapter "2.2 ITE extension".

I used the "JSlider"-Example-plug-in-Project as a functional reference (it's shipped with the Jubula Installation 7.1.0).

My environment data:
Hostdetails: Windows Vista, 32 Bit
Java SDK: 1.5 for the Toolkit, 1.4 for the Remote Control
Plugin development environment: eclipse Kepler (Classic Edition), Version: 4.3.0.v20130605-2000
Jubula environment: standalone Jubula Version: 7.1.0
standalone AUT (running on localhost)
Embedded Test-DB

The problems I experienced with the example-project JSlider:

1. The Target Platform configuration (set the Features org.eclipse.rcp and org.eclipse.jubula.feature) mentioned in the development-guidelines (2.2.1.3) isn't compatible with the example-toolkit-plugin-project as there are "Required Plug-ins" in the "Dependencies"-Config such as "org.eclipse.core.runtime" which are not supplied by these two Features.

My workaround was to add the eclipse-installation-folder with its plugins to the Target Platform. --> "org.eclipse.core.runtime" is now available

2. I created an "Update Site" and integrated the "Toolkit"-Feature (this encapsulates the toolkit-plug-in also as the "remote-control"-plug-in for the JSlider Component). Then I installed the Feature in my Jubula Environment.
The Component with its Action is available. But when I start the AUT I get an error: "5009:AUT Start Failed" described here: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/490155/

My workaround was to create a clean eclipse-Fragment-Project and copying the files of the imported Project into this Fragment. I also compiled the Fragment with Java-Compiler 1.4 as this version is mentioned in the Extension-Manual. Now the error doesn't appears.

3. Now there is a problem, that I can't fix with any workaround. I started the Example-JSlider-AUT in my standalone AUT (with the Remote-Control-Fragment imported into the plugin-folder of the server-folder and customizing the "config.ini" by appending the fragment-id to the "osgi.bundles"-line and first "cleaning" the AUT-Agent by appending "-clean" at the end of "autagent.ini". I've also installed the JSlider-Toolkit-Plugin over an Update-Site in my Jubula-Application -> JSlider-Component is available in Test-Browser).

After starting the "Mapping-Mode" while hovering with the cursor over the JSlider-GUI-Component of the Application an Exception (In the AUT-Agent-Console) will be thrown, every time I move my cursor over the JSlider.
The full Exception-log is stored in "MappingMode_Exception.txt".

A Screenshot of my Project-Hierarchy can be seen in "eclipseProjects.PNG".

The problems I experienced with my own toolkit-plugin-project:

I. After installing my Plug-in over my Update-Site and restart Jubula, the "Test-Case-Browser", also as the "Test-Suite-Browser" and other Jubula-Components didn't load properly but throw an Exeption:

"Plug-in org.eclipse.jubula.client.ui.rcp was unable to load class org.eclipse.jubula.client.ui.rcp.views.TestSuiteBrowser"

The full Exception-log is stored in "MyExtension_StartingJubulaWithInstalledToolkit_Exception.txt"

A Screenshot can be seen in "MyToolkit.PNG".

My plug-in is structured like the example-Project. I followed the guidelines one-by-one.

I have no idea why my plug-in doesn't work as well as the example-plug-in.

I would be pleased if you give me any hints, ideas or approaches.

Thank you!

I've already written down my problems in the official Jubula-Forum: http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/491460/
