Hi Danail,

The search console JUnit tests are already part of the test execution but there are quite a lot of weird failures:

1. There are quite a lot of IllegalStateExceptions thrown when calling PlatformUI.getWorkbench, for example

java.lang.IllegalStateException: Workbench has not been created yet.

at org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI.getWorkbench(PlatformUI.java:92)

at org.eclipse.platform.discovery.integration.test.unit.internal.SaveInFavoritesViewCustomizationTest.setupViewAccessor(SaveInFavoritesViewCustomizationTest.java:102)

How can the workbench not be created? Tests are executed as PDE tests, right?

Yes, they're run as PDE tests.  It looks like the code that is calling Test.setupViewAccessor(*) is running before the workbench has completely initialized.  Is it being started deliberately through OSGi?  Most bundles with the "Bundle-ActivationPolicy: lazy" won't run into this problem.
 

 2. One of the SWTBot tests fails with an error saying that the tests must be executed out of the UI thread (SlidingCompositeTest.testProgressMonitorCanBeCancelledOutOfUiThread()). The failure is caused by Display.getCurrent() not returning null. Indeed, SWTBot tests _must_ be run out of the UI thread. Or do I need to somehow explicitly specify somewhere that a test suite should be executed as a SWTBot test?

 

What is your SWTBot test launching as to run outside the UI thread?  What application and/or product does it use?  If the launcher isn't clear, you can always look at the properties of a successful launch in the Debug view, it has the command line used to launch them.
 

 

Is the eclipse workspace log file produced while a test suite execution preserved somewhere? I suspect that it can provide valuable details for troubleshooting these failures

The console log for this build are still at http://build.eclipse.org/eclipse/e4/logs/current.log

The test logs for the build are at http://build.eclipse.org/eclipse/e4/build/e4/downloads/drops/4.0.0/I20120223-2200/eclipse-testing/results/linux.gtk.x86_64/
