Re: [tycho-user] Multiple testclass invocations per plugin

[Ed Willink <ed@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi

After considerable pain attempting to empathize with magic nothing happenings, I can now be quite confident that while the correct answer is indeed use maven-surefire-plugin to run standalone tests, a further correct answer is that it is not possible to run both maven-surefire-plugin and tycho-surefire-plugin together. tycho-surefire-plugin won't run for a "jar" packaging and an "eclipse-test-plugin" packaging for tycho-surefire-plugin disrupts the maven functionality.

Hi,

Mickaël Istria pointed me to this thread mail https://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/tycho-user/msg07794.html I just registered to the mailing-list and so not sure that this mail will be added to the current thread.

I can give some hints for one of the issue mentioned:

"For a JUnit configuration, I do not want OSGI to start. (useUIHarness=false still starts OSGI). I cannot see how to do this with the tycho-surefire-plugin; seems contrary to its philosophy; providing non-Eclipse functionality within an Eclipse added value.

So I presume I should revert to the maven-surefire-plugin, but it appears that the tycho-surefire-plugin subverts its functionality. I don't think I have succeeded in getting maven-surefire-plugin to run any tests. I thought I had but that was just a mega-confusion caused by the helpful "default-test"; the kind of help that I normally associate with Microsoft tools."

To be able to launch the tests without OSGi, you need to go back to maven-surefire-plugin. You can have a look to this plugin  https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-fuse/tree/master/core/tests/org.fusesource.ide.camel.model.service.core.tests and these places in the parent pom: https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-fuse/blob/master/pom.xml#L221 and https://github.com/jbosstools/jbosstools-fuse/blob/master/pom.xml#L265

I take the opportunity of this discussion to point to a presentation (video, slides) I provided at an EclipseCon explaining why using tests without launching OSGi is really a good thing for some unit tests, you will also see some alternatives to use maven-surefire-plugin for Eclipse tests.
