WindowTester changes user.dir

[a.bitsche]

If i run a program under eclipse the default user.dir is the absolute path to the project-folder. Including the project-folder itself.
When i run a UITestCase the user.dir is switched to the eclipse installation-path.

Is there a solution, workaround available as this is a huge problem for my tests.

I'm not seeing this... but then I may be missing your point.

For instance, if I execute the following test:

Code: Select all


import junit.extensions.UITestCaseSWT;

public class UserDirSpike extends UITestCaseSWT {

   public void testSpike() {
      System.out.println((System.getProperty("user.dir")));
   }

}


I see the path to the test plugin directory:

C:\dev\eclipse\workspaces\ws\wt.support.hacks

Is this the desired effect?

Describe your situation further and I'll be happy to dig deeper.

My workspace is 'D:\jsrc\GuiTest' and the project is named 'DMan'. I create a new Class to detect the 'user.dir'.
The 'user.dir' is 'D:\jsrc\GuiTest\DMan' as expected and wanted.

If i start a UITestCaseSWT and request the 'user.dir' the returned path is 'C:\Programme\eclipse3.2'.

That's the reason why i think you, should mean the windowtester, changes the user.dir.

Hmmmm.....

What happens when you run a standard PDE JUnit test?

For instance:

Code: Select all

public class UserDirSpike extends TestCase /* standard JUnit */ {

   public void testSpike() {
      System.out.println((System.getProperty("user.dir")));
   }

}


Does this produce what you expect?

[a.bitsche]

Yes, it does.

Strange... It looks like we'll need to do some digging.

To track our effort better, could you send a bug report to:

Thanks and sorry for the inconvenience!
