Have somebody experienced problems when running grouped tests that doesn't fail when are executed individually?

thanks

Did you mean like a Testsuite? What errors do you get?

Do your tests have these lines of code?

ui.click(new MenuItemLocator("&File/E&xit"));
ui.wait(new ShellDisposedCondition("Eclipse SDK"));

If so, comment them out. If you leave these lines in, the first test kills the workbench and then you get and exception, "root must not be null" exception when trying to run the subsequent test(s).

- Correct.

What errors do you get?

- Several types: WaitTimedOut, WidgetNotFound etc. Its difficult for me at this moment to answer to this question with more precission.

- No, they doesn't. I know this issue.

Thank you anyway. I expected that someone else have also experienced this problem ...

Hi,

I sometimes experienced those failure due to unequal start conditions.
For example the last action of a test was to click a certain TreeItem.
Now the second test failed, because this Treeitem was still selected, which was not the case, when the second test has been started stand-alone.

So maybe you have to make sure that every test in your suite starts with the same conditions

This is a good point ... but I've yet make an effort in that direction.
So, I customized and save a convenience perspective, and each testcase opens it before doing anything else.

Code: Select all

ui.click(new MenuItemLocator("&Window/&Open Perspective/&Other..."));
ui.wait(new ShellShowingCondition("Open Perspective"));
ui.click(new TableItemLocator("OUR_PERSPECTIVE"));
ui.click(new ButtonLocator("OK"));
ui.wait(new ShellDisposedCondition("Open Perspective"));
