  <p>This document describes how to run Eclipse JUnit plugin tests
 +
    from the command line using Eclipse SDK JUnit test plug-ins and a
 +
    testing framework. This method of running tests is intended for
 +
    anyone who wishes to automate their testing process or reproduce the
 +
    testing mechanism used in Eclipse builds by the Eclipse Platform
 +
    Release Engineering team.</p>

 +
    for a description of the testing framework, and how it can be used
 +
    outside of the setup described here.

 +
  <ol>
 +
    <li>All test machines will require 1.4 and 1.5 java runtime
 +
      environments installed to run all tests. See <A
 +
      HREF="#testtargets">test targets</A> for details on which tests
 +
      require a 1.5 level jre. All other tests can be executed with
 +
      either jre levels.
 +
    </li>
  
 +
    <li>A properties file containing the following key-value pair:
 +
      J2SE-5.0=&lt;path to 1.5 java executable&gt;. On Windows, the path
 +
      must be enclosed with double quotes if it contains any space
 +
      characters, e.g. J2SE-5.0=&quot;c:/program
 +
      files/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java&quot;.</li>
  
 +
    <li><a href="http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html">Info-ZIP
 +
        UnZip</a> version 5.41 or later installed and added to the path.</li>
  
 +
    <li>The JUnit Plugin Tests <code>eclipse-Automated-Tests-&lt;buildId&gt;.zip</code>
 +
      from an Eclipse build (<a
 +
      href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a>).
 +
      This ZIP contains this document, scripts to run the tests, the
 +
      test framework plug-ins and the JUnit test plug-ins.
 +
    </li>
  
 +
    <li>An Eclipse SDK distribution (<a
 +
      href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a>)
 +
      to test. Usually you will want to test a particular Eclipse build
 +
      using a matching Automated Tests feature.
 +
    <li>To run the pde build tests you will need the
 +
      eclipse-&lt;buildId&gt;delta-pack.zip.</li>
  
 +
    <li>To run the Team CVS tests you will need extssh access to a
 +
      CVS repository. The tests create a lot of junk modules and tags so
 +
      you will want to keep the test repository seperate from your
 +
      development repository. While it is not necessary to clean up the
 +
      repository between each Team test run you will probably want to
 +
      clean it up periodically.</li>
  
 +
    <li>Some of the p2 tests require a copy of the Eclipse Platform
 +
      Runtime Binary archive for the platform you are testing. More
 +
      information is available from the <a
 +
      href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Testing">Equinox
 +

 +
    <li>Extract the eclipse-Automated-Tests-&lt;buildId&gt;.zip or
 +
      tar.gz. On Window, extract this file close to the root of the
 +
      drive to prevent some path names from exceeding the 255 character
 +
      limit. This will create a top-level directory <code>eclipse-testing</code>.
 +
    </li>
  
 +
    <li>Place the Eclipse SDK distribution to test (and the Eclipse
 +
      Platform Runtime Binary) in the eclipse-testing directory. Do not
 +
      extract these files as the test scripts will take care of this.</li>
 +
    <li>To run the Team CVS tests, edit the test.xml script to
 +
      provide connection information. Replace the following strings in
 +
      the <strong>teamcvs</strong> target of the <code>test.xml</code>
 +
      file with the information described in following list. These
 +
      values are used at test time to automatically replace strings in
 +
      org.eclipse.team.tests.cvs.core/repository.properties. For more
 +
      information on how this file is used in the team CVS tests, click

        &quot;Build Successful&quot; printed to the console is NOT

Automated Unit and Integration Testing

Description

This document describes how to run Eclipse JUnit plugin tests from the command line using Eclipse SDK JUnit test plug-ins and a testing framework. This method of running tests is intended for anyone who wishes to automate their testing process or reproduce the testing mechanism used in Eclipse builds by the Eclipse Platform Release Engineering team.

Click <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/*checkout*/org.eclipse.test/testframework.html?rev=HEAD">here</a> for a description of the testing framework, and how it can be used outside of the setup described here.

If you simply wish to write and run JUnit tests interactively from an Eclipse workbench, try one of the links below:

<a href="http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/gettingStarted/qs-junit.htm">JUnit Support in Eclipse</a>
<a href="http://help.eclipse.org/helios/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.pde.doc.user/guide/tools/launchers/junit_launcher.htm">Testing Eclipse Plug-ins with JUnit</a>

Requirements

  1. All test machines will require 1.4 and 1.5 java runtime environments installed to run all tests. See <A HREF="#testtargets">test targets</A> for details on which tests require a 1.5 level jre. All other tests can be executed with either jre levels.
  2. A properties file containing the following key-value pair: J2SE-5.0=<path to 1.5 java executable>. On Windows, the path must be enclosed with double quotes if it contains any space characters, e.g. J2SE-5.0="c:/program files/jdk1.5.0/jre/bin/java".
  3. <a href="http://www.info-zip.org/pub/infozip/UnZip.html">Info-ZIP UnZip</a> version 5.41 or later installed and added to the path.
  4. The JUnit Plugin Tests eclipse-Automated-Tests-<buildId>.zip from an Eclipse build (<a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a>). This ZIP contains this document, scripts to run the tests, the test framework plug-ins and the JUnit test plug-ins.
  5. An Eclipse SDK distribution (<a href="http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/">http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/</a>) to test. Usually you will want to test a particular Eclipse build using a matching Automated Tests feature.
  6. To run the pde build tests you will need the eclipse-<buildId>delta-pack.zip.
  7. To run the Team CVS tests you will need extssh access to a CVS repository. The tests create a lot of junk modules and tags so you will want to keep the test repository seperate from your development repository. While it is not necessary to clean up the repository between each Team test run you will probably want to clean it up periodically.
  8. Some of the p2 tests require a copy of the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary archive for the platform you are testing. More information is available from the <a href="http://wiki.eclipse.org/Equinox/p2/Testing">Equinox Testing Wiki page</a>.

Setup

  1. Extract the eclipse-Automated-Tests-<buildId>.zip or tar.gz. On Window, extract this file close to the root of the drive to prevent some path names from exceeding the 255 character limit. This will create a top-level directory eclipse-testing.
  2. Place the Eclipse SDK distribution to test (and the Eclipse Platform Runtime Binary) in the eclipse-testing directory. Do not extract these files as the test scripts will take care of this.
  3. To run the Team CVS tests, edit the test.xml script to provide connection information. Replace the following strings in the teamcvs target of the test.xml file with the information described in following list. These values are used at test time to automatically replace strings in org.eclipse.team.tests.cvs.core/repository.properties. For more information on how this file is used in the team CVS tests, click <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/org.eclipse.team.tests.cvs.core/readme.html?rev=HEAD">here</a>.
    • @cvs_user@ - the account used to connect to the cvs repository
    • @cvs_password@ - the account password
    • @cvs_host@- the name of the cvs server
    • @cvs_root@ - the repository path
  4. To Run the PDE build scripts, save the eclipse-<buildId>delta-pack.zip to the eclipse-testing directory.

Running Tests

From a command prompt or terminal:

  1. cd to the eclipse-testing directory
  2. Execute the following script:

    runtests -properties <path to properties file> [-os <operating system>] [-ws <windowing system>] [-arch <architecture>] [-noclean] [-vm <path to java executable>][-Dtest.target=performance][targetname1 targetname2 targetname3 etc...]

    All parameters and targets are optional on windows systems with the exception of "-properties". On *nix systems, the os, ws and arch parameters must be specified in addition to the -properties parameter.

    The JUnit test results are produced in individual xml files for each test plug-in with a test.xml. These results are copied to the eclipse-testing\results\xml directory. These results can be converted into html by running the "genHtml" target as described in the table below. Please be aware that "Build Successful" printed to the console is NOT indicative of tests passing. </li> </ol> <p> <a name="vm"></a>Parameters

    Parameter Description
    -os <operating system> The OS the tests are being run on. One of: aix, hpux,
           linux, macosx, solaris, win32. Default win32
    
    -ws <windowing system> The windowing system the tests are being run on. One of:
           cocoa, gtk, photon, win32. Default win32
    
    -arch <architecture> The architecture the tests are being run on. One of: ppc,
           PA_RISC, x86, sparc. Default x86
    
    -noclean Run tests without installing a clean Eclipse (in
           "test-eclipse") between test targets. Default is to
           delete an existing test-eclipse directory and re-extract the
    
    Eclipse distribution between test targets.
    -properties

             As per requirements noted above, this is used to reference a
             properties file containing additional Ant properties used in
             running tests.Can be used to pass additional vm arguments to
             the Java virtual machine running the tests by adding the entry
             "extraVMargs=<the args to pass to the vm>" to
             the specified properties file.

    At a minimum, the property file must include a "J2SE-5.0" property which specifies a path to a 1.5 java executable, for example:

    J2SE-5.0="c:/program files/jdk1.5.0_06/jre/bin/java"

    The path must be enclosed in double quotes if it contains spaces. This key-value pair is required to run JUnit plug-in tests that require a 1.5 level jvm.

    -vm

             When runtests is executed, two instances of eclipse are
             started: one to invoke the org.eclipse.ant.core.antRunner
             application to run a test.xml script in a test plug-in (outer
             instance) and another in which the JUnit tests are being
             executed (inner). By default, both will use the java
             executable on the system path. The -vm property is used to
             specify an alternate java executable. For example, "-vm
             c:\jdk142\jre\bin\java".

    However, the -vm value is ignored by the inner vm for JUnit plug-in tests requiring a 1.5 JRE to execute (see <A HREF="#testtargets">test targets</A>). This property must be used in conjunction with the -properties parameter described above at all times.

    -Dtest.target=performance Runs the performance target only in each test plug-in's
           test.xml. When running tests on Windows, enclose this parameter
           in double quotes, ie. runtests
    
    "-Dtest.target=performance".
    targetname1 targetname2 targetname3 etc..

             Replace with a list of <A HREF="#testtargets">test targets</A>
             to execute (space delineated). Each corresponds to an Ant
             target in the eclipse-testing/test.xml script. 

    For example,
    runtests -os linux -ws gtk -arch x86 ant antui -properties vm.properties
    This will execute the "ant" and "antui" test targets only. If not specified, the "all" target will be executed.
