[cdt-dev] A few questions about running the CDT tests

[Corey Ashford <cjashfor@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello,

In the last couple of days, I have made an attempt to integrate the CDT 
tests into the Eclipse Automated test suite, because there didn't appear 
to be such a thing available for the CDT itself.  I was successful in 
getting the org.eclipse.cdt.ui.tests and org.eclipse.cdt.core.tests to 
work in this environment, however I am currently unable to get the 
managedbuilder tests to run (see below).

I have a few questions I hope someone who has run the CDT tests before 
can answer:

1) Looking over recent Junit test results for 4.0.0 and 4.0.1, I see 
that one test suite - org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.tests.suite - was 
dropped from from the results when going from 4.0.0 to 4.0.1.  Was this 
intentional?  Will it return at some point?

2) I notice that both org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.ui.tests and 
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.tests both do not have a test.xml 
file.  Is this an oversight, or is there something I don't understand 
about how Junit works? (As a side note, both org.eclipse.cdt.ui.tests 
and org.eclipse.cdt.core.tests have a test.xml file which appears to 
work fine).  Ideally, I'd like to be able to fire off the managedbuilder 
test suites the same way as the other suites which do contain a test.xml 
file.

3) From the looks of the nightly builds page for the CDT, it appears 
that the testing is indeed automated somehow.  Would it be possible to 
gain access to the test harness that is used to generate the Junit test 
results?  Is it a script that can be run from the command line?

Thanks for your consideration,

- Corey
