| Running sharedinstall tests requires an application ("Verifier") |
| that is installed in the independent Eclipse-like installation. The Verifier |
| checks if certain P2 operations in a shared install scenario ends with success |
| (f.e. it checks whether certain bundles are installed). |
| |
| * REALLY IMPORTANT NOTE * |
| The Verifier is not built during compile time or testing time. It needs to be built |
| manually after each modification and be made available in a test repository located |
| in bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests/testData/sharedInstall/repo. |
| |
| The steps to build the Verifier (and other bundles from that test repo are): |
| 1. Import projects from the repo source subtree bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests/testData/sharedInstall/source |
| There is 6 subprojects there (2 test bundles, 2 test features, Verifier feature and an update site). |
| 2. Open site.xml located in a site project, and press 'Build All'. |
| 3. Eclipse will generate a p2 repository (directories "features" and "plugins", |
| and jars "artifacts.jar" and "content.jar"). |
| 4. Remove old content from bundles/org.eclipse.equinox.p2.tests/testData/sharedInstall/repo, |
| copy new content there, and commit to repository. |
