Testing a RCP application using WindowTester

[xslaugh]

Hello,

I am trying to use WindowTester to test an Eclipse based RCP application. I've been able to record a test from within Eclipse, but have since been trying to get my test to run from a built version of our application, outside of Eclipse. I've been looking at the "Ant Sample - Testing a RCP App" on the WindowTester website, but haven't been able to modify it so that it launches my application and then runs my test, which I've exported into a jar file. I've changed all the values in the test.properties file to match my application and test, but whenever I try running the ant script, the application never launches, and the JUnit result web-page shows that no tests were run. Does anybody have any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?

I have the similar problem.

I downloaded ContactManagerRCPExampleAnt_v1.0.0.zip. I run it successfully.

I replace the contents of application and apptests folders with my RCP application and Test (exported into a jar file)
My environment is Eclipse 3.5, java-6-sun-1.6.0.16, WindowTesterPro_v4.0.0_for_Eclipse3.5, Ubuntu 9.04
I updated the properties in test.properties file.

When I run "runTest" script, it finishes with "BUILD SUCCESSFUL" expression but it does not launch my application with the given test.
It opens browser with "Unit Test Results" page. No tests are listed in that page.
(Links to test and windowtesterruntime are done properly.)
I checked the output/(apptests-name)/test-out.txt file. Its contents is as below.
It seems that "com.windowtester.runner.application" is not found.
Is there anybody who knows how to fix that problem?
Thanx

Thanks for your inquiry. We are in the process of updating the samples and hope to make this process much easier. We will follow up with you via the support thread you started with our support team. Once we have the issue resolved we can post a summing-up here.

[tcourant]

Hello,

i've got the same problem. I am currently evaluating WindowTester product, and i want to use it in a continuous build system like Hudson.
Can you help me with this error please ?

Thanx
Thomas COURANT.

To run the WindowTester test for your RCP application outside of elicpse, you need to use the WindowTesterRunner product. The WindowTesterRunner is used to launch the RCP application and run the tests.

http://downloads.instantiations.com/Win ... unner.html

The download for WindowTesterRunner includes the ContactManagerRCP example with the tests, to help get you started. The documentation at

http://downloads.instantiations.com/Win ... ample.html

also has instructions on how to use WindowTesterRunner to test your RCP application.

Hello. I’ve run into this problem too. When trying to run tests outside of an IDE, the Window Tester Runner fails to start with

Code: Select all

java.lang.RuntimeException: Application "com.windowtester.runner.application" could not be found in the registry”. The applications available are: …

What is more confusing, testing a simple dummy application works just fine, but a real one crashes. Does anyone know the reason behind it or at least have any suggestions of a workaround?
Thanks in advance.

[gnebling]

Yuri,

What version of WindowTester/WindowTesterRunner are you using? What version of Eclipse, Java and Operating System are you using?

Just to clarify, did you try the Contact Manager RCP example here http://downloads.instantiations.com/Win ... ample.html and it worked? When you tried your own application, you got an error, correct? I'm assuming you are running your own test and modified the Ant script to run your own application.

We can take a look at your modified Ant script and the .log file if you could send it to our Support address at wintest-support@instantiations.com.

Thanks
WT Support

[yuri_]

Yes, I tried out the Contract Manager example. It worked. Then I configured ant script to run tests on my own applications. For simple toy application everything was ok. But when I tried to run tests on the real project I had this “could not be found in the registry” issue. I checked the script and even added plug-ins and features exported via WindowTester Target Provisioner wizard. It didn’t help. I still get this:

As you can see, one of the exceptions is gone but the other is still intact and the test execution is blocked. Any insights?
Almost forgot, I use:
JVM 1.6.0_20
Eclipse 3.5
WindowTesterRunner_v5.1.0_for_Eclipse3.5_win32.win32.x86

[gnebling]

Sounds like some plugins are missing. Did you follow the steps outlined under "Modifying the example to run tests for a different application", especially steps 1 and 2?
http://downloads.instantiations.com/Win ... ample.html

Have you tried running your tests within Eclipse using the same target platform (assuming you are using one) generated by the Target Provisioner to ensure it runs without errors. Click the Validate Plugins in the test launch configuration to see if there are plugins missing.

[ma_ids]

Hi,

I assume that the problems described by yuri_ could be caused by the fact that the provided ant macros and scripts just do it the old "brute force" way when you wanted to install a new plugin in your Eclipse:
just copy and paste the plugins to the plugins folder and the features to the features folder of your eclipse installation and hope that it is running.
This way is deprecated and should not be used any more. Instead the new P2 mechanism has to be used to correctly configure your "eclipse" installation with new features and plugins. As I am new to P2 myself I can't 100% assert that it will work; this is "homework" for Instantiation. They should update their ant macros and scripts to reflect the current state of the art P2 mechanism for Eclipse 3.5 / 3.6.

I would appreciate it if anyone could try this out and modify the provided window tester runner package to use P2.

cu,
Daniel

[Phil Quitslund]

Great suggestion Daniel. I've forwarded this on to our build master and he'll take a look when he comes up for air. In the meantime, any other contributions much appreciated!

Thanks!

Hello all,

I am interesting with WindowTester, and i need some examples to run plugin tests from Ant and RCP Application from Ant.
But, the Product link to download is not available for now. Could you please share me WindowTesterExampleAnt_v1.0.0.zip and ContactManagerRCPExampleAnt_v1.0.0.zip ?

Thanks!
Lukas

[keertip]

Unfortunately, the standalone WindowTesterRunner product is no longer shipped. Will look into putting together a example of how to use with the current offerings.

[ajbetz]

Just curious about the standalone test runner, as I have also been trying to work on a "test runner" of sorts (although I had a different problem in which my RCP application would reject non-application command line parameters, so my test runner needed to pass those plug-in and class name arguments as vmargs).

Is there any update on this?
