WindowTester CommunityFixesEdition with basic support for Eclipse 4.x (beta)

[Fred G]

Hi,

I'm pleased to announce an unofficial version of WindowTester with basic support for Eclipse 4.x.
Basic support means that applications/plug-ins that were written for Eclipse 3.x can also be tested with Eclipse 4.x.
The new application model introduced with Eclipse 4.x (e4) will not be supported at this point, as this would require major rework.
If and when e4 will be supported I can't say, but it's currently not on my shortlist. Patches are nevertheless always welcome! :)

This release (6.1.0-beta) has been build with Tycho and includes the patches contributed to the official SVN repository up to revision 31, plus some extra changes to
add Tycho support, Eclipse 4.x support and fix some tests.
The complete release notes can be found here: https://bintray.com/fredg02/generic/WindowTester_CommunityFixesEdition_Eclipse4.x/6.1.0-beta/release
Please note: The minimum required Eclipse version is 4.2.2!

WindowTester (Eclipse 4.x) P2 Update site: http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/p2repo_e4


For people still using Eclipse 3.7+ I also created a P2 Update site that contains everything except the Eclipse 4.x specific patches.
See the release notes: https://bintray.com/fredg02/generic/WindowTester_CommunityFixesEdition/6.1.0-beta/release

WindowTester (Eclipse 3.7+) P2 Update site: http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/p2repo

Both versions are not official releases and should therefore not be used in a production environment without reasonable testing!


Regards,

Fred

Tried to update my QA Windowtester Plugin Project so I could run against my Eclipse 3.x Plugin project imported into a Eclipse 4.3 Kepler and got this error after installing Windowtester from http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/p2repo_e4. The container 'WindowTester Runtime' references non existing library 'file:\C:\Sample43TestRunProj\plugins\com.windowtester.runtime_6.1.0.201310072244.jar!\commonRuntime.jar'. Any Ideas How I can resolve this?

[Fred G]

Hi John,

I just tried to install WindowTester from http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/p2repo_e4 into a fresh Eclipse 4.3.1 (Kepler SR1).
It worked without any problems. After the installation the file commonRuntime.jar does exist in com.windowtester.runtime_6.1.0.201310072244.jar.

When and where exactly do you see this error? During the installation from the P2 update site? Or during text execution?

Regards,

Fred

Great news!

I can't find a branch for this edition in the repository [1] though.

Is it possible to get the source code elsewhere, without applying patches manually?

Thanks

Max

Hi Max,

As stated in the VCS field on BinTray, you can find both branches on Github:

https://github.com/fredg02/windowtester/tree/tychoWIP
https://github.com/fredg02/windowtester/tree/tychoWIP_e4

Hi Fred,

yesterday i installed this in an eclipse application on mac and encountered an problem.
The issue with the url http://code.google.com/p/windowtester/issues/detail?id=25 is solved i think but i couldn't find the StyledTextLocator in these packages.

Is there a special reason or did you missed this just ?

Falk

Hi Falk,

I did not merge the latest commits from the SVN repository into the Git repository yet.
It's also stated in the release notes, but it's easy to miss:
"Includes contributions by the community that have not been released yet up to SVN revision Rev 31"

The StyledTextLocator was added in revision 34.

I'll try to update the Git repository soon.

Regards,

Fred

Hi Falk,

I updated the Git repository and released a new version that includes the two latest commits from the SVN repository.
Here are the URLs to the P2 update repositories:
http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/6.1.0-beta2/p2repo_e3 (Eclipse 3.7+)
http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/6.1.0-beta2/p2repo_e4 (Eclipse 4.2.2+)

And the respective P2 update repository zip files:
http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/6.1.0-beta2/com.windowtester.repository-e3-6.1.0.201401300137.zip (Eclipse 3.7+)
http://dl.bintray.com/fredg02/generic/6.1.0-beta2/com.windowtester.repository-e4-6.1.0.201401300154.zip (Eclipse 4.2.2+)

Please let me know, if this works for you.

Regards,

Fred

Hi Fred,

could install it in our eclipse application and verify that the StyledTextLocator now is available.
But something i miss at least, the HasLineOfTextCondition :-(
We decided to split this out of StyledTextLocator and you provided a patch for this condition in the issue - did you maybe just forget to commit it in SVN ?

Best regards,
Falk

Installed into Eclipse 4.3.2 "p2repo_e4" and also installed my 3.x plugin. Test's Running the same as in a 3.7 Indigo.

[Anand K Gupta]

Hello Fred,

Where we can get the source plugins for windowtester?

Regards,
Anand

[Fred G]

Hi Anand,

I will try to make the source plugins available in the next version, hopefully before the end of next week.
Until then you can checkout the sources from the above mentioned Github repositories.

Regards,

Fred

[Fred G]

Hi,

As promised I created a new release (6.1.2) that includes the source features and plug-ins and also the missing "HasLineOfText" condition patch.
BinTray is not really designed for hosting P2 repositories and to cumbersome to use.
Therefore I just created two Zip files containing the repositories for the Eclipse 3.x and Eclipse 4.x versions and uploaded them on Github.

You can find them here:
https://github.com/fredg02/windowtester/releases

Please let me know if there is any problem with the repositories.

Regards,

Fred

P.S.: If someone has a good idea where the P2 repositories could be hosted, please contact me.

The latest beta seems to work up as far as Eclipse 4.3, but not Eclipse 4.4.

Is there a development plan which includes adding support for Eclipse 4.4?

Thanks,
Tony

[Fred G]

Hi Tony,

Adding support for Eclipse 4.4 is definitely planned, but currently not on my shortlist.
There is a good chance that I will need to work on this later this year, but I can't promise anything.

Nevertheless I'm always open to contributions from the community. :)

Regards,

Fred
