[tycho-user] Running eclipse plugin test that depends on an Eclipse libr

[iulian dragos <jaguarul@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

In one of our testing scenarios, we need to test our plugin (for the Scala language) on a project that depends on JUnit. The test fails in Tycho because JUnit is not on the project's classpath, but succeeds in the Eclipse test runner. 

Here's my setup:

 - tycho builds successfully both my plugin and the test fragment

 - it prepares an Eclipse instance populated with the right dependencies and runs my test class

 - my test class copies an existing project recursively into the new/empty workspace

 - my test compiles the test project, and fails because JUnit is not on the classpath

The .classpath looks correct:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<classpath>

<classpathentry kind="src" path="src"/>

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.scala-ide.sdt.launching.SCALA_CONTAINER"/>

<classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.launching.JRE_CONTAINER/org.eclipse.jdt.internal.debug.ui.launcher.StandardVMType/JavaSE-1.6"/>

        <classpathentry kind="con" path="org.eclipse.jdt.junit.JUNIT_CONTAINER/4"/> 

<classpathentry kind="output" path="bin"/>

</classpath>

(the SCALA_CONTAINER is correctly found).

If I change the junit dependency to point directly to a jar file (instead of the classpath container JUNIT_CONTAINER), the test passes.

What am I doing wrong?

thanks,

iulian
