| <font size="+2"> Automated Testing of VE Builds</font> |
| <p>last updated: November 4, 2003</p> |
| <p><font size="+1">Description</font></p> |
| <p>This document describes how to run the Visual Editor JUnit test plugins from the command |
| line. This is the same mechanism used in VE builds.</p> |
| <p>Click <a href="testframework.html">here</a> for a description of the testing |
| framework, and how it can be used outside of the setup described here.</p> |
| <p>If you simply wish to write and run JUnit tests interactively from an Eclipse |
| workbench, try one of the links below:</p> |
| <p><a href="http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/%7Echeckout%7E/jdt-ui-home/plugins/org.eclipse.jdt.junit/index.html">JUnit |
| Support in Eclipse</a><br> |
| <a href="http://dev.eclipse.org:8080/help/content/help:/org.eclipse.jdt.doc.user/tasks/tasks-207.htm?resultof=%6a%75%6e%69%74%20&toc=%2Forg.eclipse.jdt.doc.user%2Ftoc.xml">Using |
| JUnit</a></p> |
| |
| <p><font size="+1">Requirements</font></p> |
| <p>1. All test machines must have a java runtime environment (version 1.3.1) installed and added to the path environment variable (see |
| <a href="#vm">-vm</a> parameter below).<br> |
| 2. <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.<br> |
| 3. The Automated Test feature from a |
| <a href="http|//download.eclipse.org/tools/vep/downloads/"> VE downloads</a>. |
| This contains the test framework plugins and the JUnit test plugins to run.<br> |
| 4. The VE-runtime zip file from the same build as the Automated Test feature.<br> |
| 5. An Eclipse SDK, GEF runtime, and EMF runtime zip files. The URL and build name of the required builds |
| are specified in the build.cfg file included in the Automated Test zip file.</p> |
| <p><font size="+1">Setup</font></p> |
| <p>1. Extract the VE-Automated-Tests-<buildid>.zip. 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 "<b>ve-testing</b>".<br> |
| 2. Place the Eclipse SDK, GEF, EMF, and VE runtime zip files in the ve-testing directory. |
| Do not unzip these files. (The test scripts will take care of this)<br> |
| </p> |
| <p><font size="+1">Running Tests</font></p> |
| <p>1. cd to the ve-testing directory<br> |
| 2. Run the following script:</p> |
| <p><b>runtests [-os <operating system>] [-ws <windowing system>] [-arch |
| <architecture>] [-noclean] [<testTarget>][-properties <path>][-vm |
| <path to java executable>]</b></p> |
| All parameters and targets are optional on windows systems. Just running "runtests" |
| will run <b>ALL</b> tests on Windows, installing a clean Eclipse and VE SDK between |
| each test target. On *nix systems, the os, ws and arch parameters must be specified. |
| <br> |
| <br> |
| Test results are placed in the ve-testing/results directory in xml and html format.<br> |
