1This project contains the tests for the Android Eclipse Plugins.
2
3You can do three things:
41- Run the unit tests as a full "eclipse plugin" suite
52- Run the unit tests as independent JUnit tests (not as plugin)
63. Run the functional tests as a full "eclipse plugin" suite (require a real SDK)
7
8The unit tests are isolated tests that do not require external dependencies such as an SDK.
9The functional tests are higher level tests that may require a real SDK.

121- Running the unit tests as a full "eclipse plugin" suite
13------------------------------------------
14
15Steps to run the test suite:
16
17A- In Eclipse, import following projects from development/tools/eclipse/plugins:
18	- adt-tests
19	- adt
20	- ddms
21
22B- Create a new "JUnit Plug-in Test" run configuration via the "Run > Open Run Dialog..." menu
23Set the launch configuration's data as follows:
24i. "Test" tab:
25  Select "Run a single test"
26  Project: adt-tests
27  Test class: com.android.ide.eclipse.tests.UnitTests
28  Test runner: JUnit 3
29ii. "Arguments" tab:
30 Set "VM Arguments" to
31"-Dtest_data=<adt>/plugins/com.android.ide.eclipse.tests/unittests/data/"
32replacing "<adt>" with absolute filesystem path to the android plugin source location
33
34All other fields can be left with their default values
35
36C. Run the newly created launch configuration
37
38Running the tests will run a secondary instance of Eclipse.
39
40Please note the following constraints to be aware of when writing tests to run within a plugin environment:
41
42a. Access restrictions: cannot access package or protected members in a different
43plugin, even if they are in the same declared package
44b. Using classloader.getResource or getResourceAsStream to access test data will
45likely fail in the plugin environment. Instead, use AdtTestData to access test files
46in conjunction with the "test_data" environment variable mentioned above
47
48
49-------------------------------------------
502- Run the unit tests as independent JUnit tests (not plugin)
51-------------------------------------------
52
53A- In Eclipse, import following projects from development/tools/eclipse/plugins:
54	- adt-tests
55	- adt
56	- ddms
57
58B- Select the "unittests" source folder, right-click and select
59	"Run As > JUnit Test" (i.e. not the plugin tests)
60
61This creates a debug configuration of type "JUnit Test" running all tests
62in the source folder "unittests". The runtime must be JUnit 3.
63
64Note: this method runs the tests within a regular JVM environment (ie not within
65an Eclipse instance). This method has the advantage of being quicker than running
66as a JUnit plugin test, and requires less potential set-up, but has the
67disadvantage of not properly replicating how the tests will be run in the
68continuous test environment. Tests that pass when run as "JUnit Tests" can
69fail when run as "JUnit Plugin Tests", due to the extra constraints imposed by
70running within an Eclipse plug-in noted in section 1.

733- Running the functional tests as a full "eclipse plugin" suite
74------------------------------------------
75
76Steps to run the test suite:
77
78A- In Eclipse, import following projects from development/tools/eclipse/plugins:
79	- adt-tests
80	- adt
81	- ddms
82
83B - Setup an SDK on host machine, that is compatible with the Eclipse ADT plugins under test
84
85C- Create a new "JUnit Plug-in Test" run configuration via the "Run > Open Run Dialog..." menu
86Set the launch configuration's data as follows:
87i. "Test" tab:
88  Select "Run a single test"
89  Project: adt-tests
90  Test class: com.android.ide.eclipse.tests.FuncTests
91  Test runner: JUnit 3
92ii. "Environment" tab:
93 Add a "sdk_home" environment variable, setting its path to the SDK from step B
94
95All other fields can be left with their default values
96
97D. Run the newly created launch configuration
98
99Running the tests will run a secondary instance of Eclipse.
