| [tycho-user] Is there a way to have src/ and test/ in the same eclipse plug-in? |
|
Hi, When it comes to the location of unit tests, there are different possibilities (this stack overflow question [1] provides a good overview). Until now I have always seen unit test code in separated fragment (the “eclipse way”).
To use this approach the pom.xml of the fragment contains
<packaging>eclipse-test-plugin</packaging> and everything works fine with tycho. I was challenged to know if it would be possible to have the tests in the same plug-in: myplugin --- src ------ myplugin.package1 --------- ...java --- test ------ myplugin.package1.test --------- ...Test.java --- META-INF ------ MANIFEST.MF ... The advantages mentioned with this approach are: * keeping the overview by having the source and the test code near. * having only one maven module instead of two. * reducing the amount of eclipse projects in the workspace. I am well aware that this is not a standard eclipse approach. Something I do not know is: => What would be the approach to build the plugin and run the tests in such a case? => Do you have some pointers of developers who experiment this approach? My goal is not to end up by doing a pom-first approach, but to understand what is currently missing (tycho, eclipse…) in order to have the test folder in the same plug-in. Thanks in advance, Jérémie [1]
