Hi,
We have some smoke tests in Moose that basically spawn a UI and check for Error.
This used to work when running headless in Pharo 1.2 but now they fail in Pharo 1.3. I believe this has to do with the new changes in the UI Manager, but I do not know what to do.
To reproduce the problem, you can simply call a Pharo-1.3.image in headless mode and file in the attached st file that:
- installs a simple test: HeadlessTest>>testStartup self shouldnt: [1 inspect] raise: Error
Tudor, your test is wrong. During image startup and in headless mode calling inspector will and should raise an error. Because inspecting object requires a presence of UI. But there's no UI in headless mode and prohibited from use during image startup phase, because you cannot start asking questions from user before properly initializing everything related to startup. Startup is called startup on purpose: is should not be interrupted nor require user's interaction.
Assume that you don't have Morphic loaded in your image, then what you expect to happen if you do 1 inspect ?
I understand now that the test is wrong. I just wanted to offer an example of spawning a ui, but I think I found the problem like this :). Now, the thing is that my test tests that triggering the entries from a menu does not result in an error. And inspect or browse happen to be among the menu entries. Is there a way to still have this test working on the server? Should I put a guard condition in the method triggering the inspector? That sounds bad. Any other ideas? Cheers, Doru
- loads HudsonTools
- runs the test and outputs the XML file report
- although the test should pass, it raises the error: HeadlessStartupTest(TestCase)>>signalFailure: HeadlessStartupTest(TestCase)>>assert: HeadlessStartupTest(TestCase)>>shouldnt:raise: HeadlessStartupTest>>testStartup HeadlessStartupTest(TestCase)>>performTest
Can anyone help?
Cheers, Doru
