Problem using Magic Test

[Thomas Mauch]

From: Arun Panda

Hi ,

The command line usage of Magic test is not very clear and i am
finding it
difficult to execute the tests from command prompt.

Also the The save /run link does not work from within the eclipse or
from
any popular browsers.

Can you please let me know if the project is still active? I am trying
to
implement magic tests in my project and would like to provide demo to
my
team members

Thanks in advance.

Arun

Hi Arun

Thanks for your interest. The project is still active but I have not
published a new release since some weeks.

Can you please clarify what you mean with "command line usage of Magic
test is not very clear". I have reread the documenation and saw a few
details for improvment, but did you see a specific point?
I will attach a script with some usage examples to this post.

The (Run)/(Save) links will only work within Eclipse, as Eclipse
monitors these links and if you click on it, it will automatically
execute the selected command. It basically is a shortcut to the
commands "Run test"/"Save test" from the MagicTest context menu.

Regards
Thomas

Thanks Thomas,

That really helped me in setting the magic tests for my demo project
correctly.
I am able to run the tests through command prompt properly now.
I had some doubt on set TESTS_CP=bin parameter, but now i am able to
execute the tests.
