Generate Tests for Non-plugin Projects [message #1848393]

Hi,

I'm using EMF in a plain Java application, not involving Eclipse plug-ins or OSGi bundles. Accordingly, I don't want my model to have the plug-in manifest and related files generated, so I set the Model Plug-in ID property blank to suppress them.

But, this results in the GenModel editor disabling the "Generate Tests" menu action. I still want to generate tests to cover my custom code. I just don't need anything to be an Eclipse/OSGi bundle.

Is there some other way to enable test generation? Or do I just need to set some Model Plug-in ID every time I want to regenerate tests and then delete it again?

Thanks,

Christian

Yes, that seems the only way.

Hi Christian

If you use an MWE2 script to invoke GenModel, (and everything else of interest), your script can automatically do the tweaks for you. Nowadays MWE2 seems to have a GenModel bean, otherwise you can use the /org.eclipse.ocl.examples.build/src/org/eclipse/ocl/examples/build/utilities/GenerateModel.java bean that I developed to workaround a now-fixed EMF bug wrt standalone usage.
