[testng-users] Setting VM parameter in Eclipse plugin

[al80]

If my tests need a lot of memory (for example a test using glassfish
embedded) I have to set "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024m" for every
runconfiguration (usually this is one for every method you want to test).

Obviously this is not very handy. What about implementing some shared
preference where we can set VM arguments?

As a temporary workaround I am setting "-XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Xmx1024m" as
default JVM argument. (Preferences>Java>Installed JREs>... )

Hi Alberto,

I just added this feature to the Eclipse plug-in: update your plug-in, go to "Preferences", select TestNG and you will notice a new node underneath called "Run / Debug". Select it and there, you can set the JVM args:

These args will be used whenever you launch a new TestNG configuration. I also added a trace in the console so you can confirm that the process is being invoked with the right parameters:

!MESSAGE [TestNGLaunchConfigurationDelegate] Launching:

  Classpath: /Users/cbeust/java/testng-eclipse/build/classes/ /Users/cbeust/java/testng-eclipse/lib/testng.jar /Users/cbeust/Documents/runtime-New_configuration/Simple/bin /Users/cbeust/java/testng/eclipse-build /Users/cbeust/java/testng/lib/ant-1.6.5.jar /Users/cbeust/java/testng/lib/guice-2.0.jar /Users/cbeust/java/testng/lib/junit-3.8.1.jar /Users/cbeust/java/testng/lib/jcommander-1.13.jar /Users/cbeust/java/testng/lib/bsh-2.0b4.jar /Users/cbeust/java/jbus/target/classes /Users/cbeust/java/jbus/target/test-classes /Users/cbeust/java/testng/lib/snakeyaml-1.6.jar

Note that these preferences are global, not per project.

Can you try it and report back?

Thanks.

Hi,

I just tried this feature and it is almost what I was looking for :)
I'm still hoping for per-project settings (because different projects
require different settings) but at least global settings is a good
start.

I noticed something strange when a project specify native libraries: I
now have to add -Djava.library.path to my VM args (or to add it to my
TestNG settings) whereas before it was handled directly by eclipse.

Thanks,

Laurent
