1.0 Known problems and workarounds

1.1 Unable to test Eclipse-based applications

You can enable Eclipse-based applications (AUT) using the Functional Tester Enabler tool for testing. Sometimes, there may be problems enabling the Eclipse based test application.

Workaround: You can enable Eclipse-based applications for testing using the Eclipse Software Updates feature.

  1. Open the application under test.
  2. Click Help >Software Updates >Find and Install.
  3. Select Search for new features to install in the Install/Update dialog box and click Next.
  4. Click New Local Site in the Update Sites to Visit page. 
  5. Select the EclipseEnabler directory under the FunctionalTester folder in the Rational Functional Tester install location and click OK.
  6. Specify the name for the local site in the Name field and click OK. The site name is listed in the Update Sites to Visit page.
  7. Select the site from the list and click Next. The specified directory, along with its subfolders, is listed in the Search Results page.
  8. Select the main directory in the Search Results page and click Finish.
  9. In the Updates dialog box, select the FunctionalTester\EclipseEnabler check box and click Next.
  10. In the Feature License page, select  I accept the terms in the license agreement and click Next.
  11. Click Finish.

You can verify that the Eclipse application is enabled for testing by checking that the com.rational.test.ft.enabler.wsw_7.0 plugin is added to the Plugins directory of the Eclipse application.

Note: Some Eclipse based RCP applications may not have the Help >Software Updates option. In this case you can copy the com.rational.test.ft.enabler.wsw_7.0 plugin manually from the FunctionalTester\EclipseEnabler\Plugins directory in the Functional Tester installation location to the Plugins directory of the RCP application. After doing this, restart the RCP application with the -clean option.
