Testing Team/CVS with JUnit
Perform the following steps in order to test the CVS plugin using JUnit
  1. If you haven't already done so, prepare a CVS repository that can be used for testing.

  2. Before you start Eclipse, obtain the JUnit PDE launcher from JDT (At the time of writing, this plugin is available here) and install it in your Eclipse plugins directory.

  3. Start Eclipse and setup your workspace for self-hosting.

  4. Load the following tests plugins from dev.eclipse.org:

    • org.eclipse.core.tests.harness
    • org.eclipse.team.tests.core
    • org.eclipse.team.tests.cvs.core

  5. Edit the org.eclipse.team.tests.cvs.core/repository.properties file to contain the information required to connect to your test repository. This file can be copied to a directory outside of the workspace so that the values you enter can be maintained indefinitely. Do not commit personal connection information to the repository.

  6. Launch the Junit plugin tester by performing the following steps:
    • Select org.eclipse.team.cvs.tests and from the Run menu, choose Run...
    • In the Run dialog, select "JUnit Plugin Test" and press New
    • Enter a name for the launch configuration.
    • Ensure that the project is org.eclipse.team.cvs.tests and press Search to find the desired test class. Use org.eclipse.team.tests.ccvs.core.provider.AllTestsProvider to run all the CVS provider tests.
    • Change the application name to org.eclipse.pde.junit.coretestapplication
    • Click on the Arguments tab and enter "-Declipse.cvs.properties=C:\path\to\repository.properties" as the VM arguments, where "C:\path\to\repository.properties" is the path to the properties file created/edited above.
    • Click Run.

  7. You should see a "connected to..." message in the console and shortly after that, the JUnit view should open and show you the results of each test.
