You only made the unit-tests work with a unittest.properties file. I think the feature-tests need a similar fix. I don't particularly want to have multiple .properties file that have to be configured. Can you please make one, perhaps at the level of the falcon directory, that can be used by both projects?
Also, can you please update the Falcon README to explain the .properties file? - Gordon -----Original Message----- From: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 9:01 PM To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org Subject: Re: [Falcon] Unit tests failing On 12/7/12 4:56 PM, "Gordon Smith" <gosm...@adobe.com> wrote: > It is unacceptable to have to configure every debug config you create. > I create dozens per day when I work on Falcon. Agreed. After reading up on it, it appears that there is no way to set new defaults for every individual junit test in Eclipse. So I implemented one suggestion: instead of environment variables or system properties, the tests will read a compiler.tests/unittest.properties file with FLEX_HOME and PLAYERGLOBAL_HOME specified in it. If you don't have the file or don't specify the variables, it will default to the compiler/generated/dist/sdk that copy.sdk would create. > > - Gordon > > -----Original Message----- > From: omup...@gmail.com [mailto:omup...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Om > Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 4:40 PM > To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org > Subject: Re: [Falcon] Unit tests failing > > In Eclipse: > > Under 'Run' menu > Select "Debug Configurations..." > On the left, right-click "JUnit" > Select "New" > When the New Configuration is created, you can customize pretty much > everything you want: > > Try playing with the settings in one of these tabs: > * Arguments > * Environment > > HTH > > Thanks, > Om > > On Fri, Dec 7, 2012 at 4:00 PM, Gordon Smith <gosm...@adobe.com> wrote: > >>> Can this really be possible that there is no place to configure >>> Junit's >> runtime environment from within Eclipse? >> >> I looked in the workspace preferences dialog under Run/Debug > >> Launching but didn't see a way to do anything useful. >> >> - Gordon >> >> -----Original Message----- >> From: Alex Harui [mailto:aha...@adobe.com] >> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 3:52 PM >> To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org >> Subject: Re: [Falcon] Unit tests failing >> >> >> >> >> On 12/7/12 3:48 PM, "Gordon Smith" <gosm...@adobe.com> wrote: >> >>> And it should NOT require any voodoo to launch Eclipse, such as a >>> launch script. >> Agreed >>> >>> I would be able to tolerate it requiring a one-time setup in the >>> Eclipse workspace, but I can't find any place to configure >>> environment variables there. >> Can this really be possible that there is no place to configure >> Junit's runtime environment from within Eclipse? >>> >>> - Gordon >>> >>> >>> -----Original Message----- >>> From: Gordon Smith [mailto:gosm...@adobe.com] >>> Sent: Friday, December 07, 2012 3:45 PM >>> To: flex-dev@incubator.apache.org >>> Subject: RE: [Falcon] Unit tests failing >>> >>> All unit tests (at least for Falcon) should be zero-configuration. >>> You open up a file like MXMLArrayTagTests.java.
