Description Christophe Cornu

2004-05-18 15:33:09 EDT

The eclipse junit tests currently start eclipse from the java executable 
directly. They should be started through the eclipse launcher directly.

Note that the Eclipse launcher does a few extra things like:
- set up the LD_LIBRARY_PATH/MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME variables for the SWT Browser 
widget as documented in SWT FAQ. Junit tests for SWT fail as a result on Linux 
GTK.

SWT junit tests for GTK now disabled until PR closed.

Hi Sonia,
Any chance we can get this in soon? Running the browser tests on Linux GTK is 
very important. Thanks!

Given that the Browser tests can run with the appropriate enviroment variable 
settings, I suggest deferring this to post 3.0.

Comment 3 Christophe Cornu

2004-06-01 17:04:42 EDT

From now on until 3.0, Releng's junit tests will test the following scenario:
- browser settings manually set with MOZILLA_FIVE_HOME and LD_LIBRARY_PATH

I will manually verify the eclipse launcher on RHEL3 correctly set the 
environment for the browser widget for the 3.0 RC2 etc releases.

OK for post 3.0
