Run Tests & Build in Eclipse

Execute JUnit tests and Maven builds using Eclipse's built-in infrastructure.

Test Tools

• runAllTests — Run all tests in a project. Provide projectName and optional timeout (default: 60s).
• runPackageTests — Run tests in a specific package. Provide projectName and packageName.
• runClassTests — Run all tests in a specific test class. Provide projectName and className (fully qualified).
• runTestMethod — Run a single test method. Provide projectName, className, and methodName.
• findTestClasses — Find all test classes in a project.

Build Tools

• runMavenBuild — Run Maven with specified goals. Provide projectName, goals (e.g., clean install), optional profiles, and timeout.
• getEffectivePom — Get the effective POM for a Maven project.
• listMavenProjects — List all Maven projects in the workspace.
• getProjectDependencies — Get Maven dependencies for a project.

Typical Workflow

1. Find test classes:

   findTestClasses(projectName="myapp")
   

2. Run specific test after code change:

   runClassTests(projectName="myapp", className="com.example.MyServiceTest", timeout="60")
   

3. Run all tests before committing:

   runAllTests(projectName="myapp", timeout="120")
   

4. Build with Maven:

   runMavenBuild(projectName="myapp", goals="clean verify", timeout="300")
   

5. Check build output:

   getConsoleOutput()
   

Notes

• Tests run using JUnit 5 by default
• Test results include pass/fail status, execution time, and failure traces
• Use getCompilationErrors first to ensure code compiles before running tests
• Maven build output goes to the Eclipse console — use getConsoleOutput to retrieve it
