Description Sravan Kumar Lakkimsetti CLA 2021-01-01 03:24:32 EST 
With reduced threshold for UI monitoring we are seeing spurious test failures (see bug 517227). 

This reduction done as part of bug 566481. This aggravated spurious test failures problem.

To fix this we need a way to disable UI monitoring. 

Need a command line option to disable UI monitoring to include it in tests.

UI  monitoring can be set via preferences. IIRC I have seen JDT Debug setting preference before tests. Can this also be used here? 

If yes, you can use the preference spy from the e4 spies to find the correct preference store. (I can also do that, in case you don't feel comfortable with the e4 spies)

The automated tests run using ant. Its really not possible to use UI to set the preferences in the automated tests. 

here is the ant target that is triggered when we trigger automated tests for ant.ui bundle

https://git.eclipse.org/c/platform/eclipse.platform.git/tree/ant/org.eclipse.ant.tests.ui/test.xml#n56

Please let us know how to set this preference here?

ProcessConsoleManagerTests line 100 shows an example for setting the preferences in tests.
