Hello,

I coded some tests (SWTBOT/JUNIT) for a RCP. The point is I want to run these tests out from using Eclipse, i.e by launching a script .bat. So I wrote this test.bat :



@echo off

set JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6"
set JAVA_START="C:\Program Files (x86)\Java\jre6\bin\java"
set ED_HOME="C:\Tools\Orc\Desk"
set TEST_CLASS=taskBox.AllTests
set WORKSPACE="D:\Users\0145268\workspace_dev"
set TEST_PRODUCT_ID=com.yahourt.orc.desk.orc
set TEST_PLUGIN_ID=com.yahourt.tp.TEST
set PERSPECT=com.yahourt.foca.perspectiveDesk

set OS=win32
set WS=win32
set ARCH=x86
set NL=fr_FR

%CMD% >> D:\Users\0145268\TOTO.TXT
pause

I put the .jar of test (com.yahourt.tp.TEST.jar) in C:\Tools\Orc\Desk\plugins.
When I run this script, the RCP is launching but I cannot see any tests running. Moreover nothing in TOTO.TXT mentions my "com.yahourt.tup.TEST" package. My clue may be that I miss one option after "-testApplication"...

To write this script, I follow your link and read the .log from the workspace of test (I used for tests).

I would be very grateful for your help !
Thanks

I see several issues here, which show you did not really use the
documentation ;)

I generally use the
org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit4.headless.swtbottestapplication (as
described in documentation), and I don't know much about the
configuration of the nonuithreadtestapplication

It seems to me that your jar is not correctly installed, so classes
can't be found. Directly copying bundles in plugins/ is something that
has been deprecated for years. Instead, you should use p2 director [1]
to install your jar in the Eclipse instance which is hosting your test
execution. Alternatively, you can use the dropins/ folder [2].

Most people reporting issues with SWTBot test execution actually have
issues to set up a right Eclipse configuration for their test and fail
to install their own bundles. To debug that, you can use the OSGi
console [3] and check whether bundles are available/installed/started.

Thanks for your help !

Actually I did a wrong configurations with my tests (different versions of the RCP were used).
So now the test plugin is well-recognized by the RCP, launching by the .bat (according to the RCP plugin menu).

But the tests don't start at all.
I use org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.nonuithreadtestapplication because I run my test in eclipse with JUnit plugin test without the "Run in UI thread" checked.

I glanced to your links. I forgot to tell you that I have no writing right in the eclipse platform (i.e ED_HOME="C:\Tools\Orc\Desk", I cannot use dropins directory). And btw, I told you something wrong, I put the test.jar in "V:\STRAP\WORKSHOP\ENG_DESK\PLUGINS\com.yahourt.tp\eclipse\plugins". But we don't care about it.

Hi again,

I need to move my build.xml file outside the original workspace (broken the dependence with it). This file executes a rcp application and tests it with Junit/SWTBOT. I deployed rcp and test plugins (jar files) in a special directory where I want to move the build.xml.

The problem is when I move this ant script, the rcp application does not want to be launched anymore. The other targets work perfectly.

This is what I get when I launch the build outside the wp :

test:
     [echo] test

doxygen:
     [echo] Debut target doxygen
[doxygen:doxygen] Exec: doxygen -s -g D:\Temp\t0145268\4\doxygen7905175840261711
258.cfg
[doxygen:doxygen] Exec: doxygen D:\Temp\t0145268\4\doxygen7905175840261711258.cf
g

listen:
     [echo] Debut target listen
     [java] Listening on port 1104 for test suite taskBox.AllTests results ...

execute:
     [echo] Debut target execute

Then it stays there.

Here is the target "execute" from build.xml below (almost the same file like above) :

<target name="execute">
		<echo>Debut target execute</echo>
		<java classname="org.eclipse.core.launcher.Main" fork="true" output="reports/com.obs.out.txt" error="reports/com.obs.err.txt">
			<classpath>
				<fileset dir="${orchestra.plugins}">
					<include name="org.eclipse.equinox.launcher_1.0.201.R35x_v20090715.jar" />
				</fileset>
			</classpath>
			<jvmarg value="-Dcom.yahourt.tup.context=N:/ldp_ATEST" />
			<jvmarg value="-Dcom.yahourt.tup.productline=TestLDP" />
			<jvmarg value="-DTEMP=D:/temp/T0145268" />
			<jvmarg value="-Xms40M" />
			<jvmarg value="-Xmx512M" />
			<jvmarg value="-XX:MaxPermSize=256M" />
			<arg line="-os win32" />
			<arg line="-ws win32" />
			<arg line="-arch x86" />
			<arg line="-application org.eclipse.pde.junit.runtime.nonuithreadtestapplication" />
			<arg line="-classNames launcher.AllTests" />
			<arg line="-testpluginname com.yahourt.tup.TEST" />
			<arg line="-version 3" />
			<arg line="-testLoaderClass org.eclipse.jdt.internal.junit.runner.junit3.JUnit3TestLoader" />
			<arg line="-loaderpluginname org.eclipse.jdt.junit.runtime" />
			<arg line="-defaultLoadProject=N:/ATEST" />
			<arg line="-testApplication com.yahourt.orc.desk.orchestra" />
			<arg line="-perspective com.yahourt.cofa.perspectiveDesk" />
			<arg line="-dev file:N:/testSpace/dev.properties" />
			<arg line="-configuration N:/testSpace/" />
			<arg line="-port 1104" />
			<arg line="-pdelaunch" />
			<arg line="-data N:/junit-workspace" />
			<arg line="-debug" />
			<arg line="-consolelog" />

		</java>
	</target>

More precisely my question is (maybe i'm wrong), is it possible to launch RCP with its tests without using -configuration -dev flags to unleash the dependence with the workspace ? Did I forget an important flag ?

I already tried to use the librairy.xml in org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.junit.headless which using the same process with ant.

For information, my eclipse launcher cannot be updated with other plugins (server in a restricted area and offline). All my plugin is in the form of library in the test plugin.

Thanks for your help

These questions are not related to SWTBot, and more related to Headless
Test Execution. You should start by getting a dummy "fail()" test to work.

It seems to me that you don't require so many arguments to run a test.
Try with as few arguments as possible and see error logs for details.

See http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Automate_test_execution#Command-line

Thanks for your answer.

Actually I noticed that my build.xml is in ./workspace/com.yahourt.tup.TEST.
So I am able to move the folder com.yahourt.tup.TEST wherever I want which is a first good point.

Now I am trying to find a way to remove the -dev and -configuration flags. Because when I do it, I received this exception :

org.apache.tools.ant.ExitException: Permission (java.lang.RuntimePermission exitVM) was not granted.

Hi,
I am also try to run my test from cmd, but I don't understand what written in:

if there is any clearer documentation or any tutorial that explain this?

So I think I understood these mandatory flags :
Actually -dev points to the RCP plug-in list and -configuration in part, to a bundles.info file which contains all paths to every plug-ins needed for the launch.

I encounter another issue with the execute task (in Jenkins). Whereas everything works good in the area where I am testing, it stays stuck in a point when I am using Jenkins. Do you know how debug this java task ?

I tried the -debug flag. There are more indications but no information about the freeze :

call ant -debug execute

And also I tried the java remote debug : I add this line in my batch :

set ANT_OPTS=-agentlib:jdwp=transport=dt_socket,address=1105,server=y,suspend=y

but it blocks to

Listening for transport dt_socket at address: 1105

This place is intended to be the best place for such a documentation.
Please give details about what is not clear enough and hints on how to

Sorry for the lack of details. In fact, I was trying several solutions and I was often in trouble with. And finally I see, in retrospect, the main problem in Jenkins : we cannot run GUI application in the console mode Smile

(my tests need GUI). So I need to find a way to run my tests in user session with a display.

Are you using Linux? Have you seen these hints

I finally found the solution.

I declared my computer as slave in Jenkins, and ran the Jenkins daemon in background. Then my tests can run in a graphic session.

Thank you !

That's because you set false for fork. I guess

fork="true"

in your build.xml most likely solved your issue.
