[mdt-papyrus.dev] Test Fragment Bundles

[Christian Damus <give.a.damus@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi, Team,

To resolve the persistent problems caused by tests packaged as fragment bundles [1], including

• dependency cycles caused by dependencies that a fragment adds to its host, that sometimes cause build errors but always cause “export as deployable plug-in” to fail
• problems in the PDE tooling, such as the manifest editor’s dependency analysis actions
• Plug-in Dependencies view showing spurious dependencies

I have converted all test bundles in the Papyrus Main plug-ins to plug-in bundles. [2]  It would be nice to stick to using normal plug-in bundles for tests in the future so that these problems don’t recur.

The wiki [3] is updated to provide a basic description of the shape of test projects and steps to integrate them into the build etc.  Edits for stuff I have missed or got wrong are welcome, of course.

Thanks,

Christian
