Cacio Testing Howto

Now that Cacio Testing is in a fairly usable shape, I thought it might be useful to write up some instructions how to get going with it, in case you want to test it.

You will need: Mercurial, Maven and JDK7

First clone the source code to your computer:

hg clone hg.openjdk.java.net/caciocavallo/ng/ cacio

Then build it using maven:

cd cacio
mvn clean install

Then in your project where you intend to use it, add this to the Maven dependencies:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>net.java.openjdk.cacio</groupId>
      <artifactId>cacio-tta</artifactId>
      <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
      <scope>test</scope>
    </dependency>

Finally, annotate your testcase with:

@RunWith(CacioTestRunner.class)
public class SimpleFESTTest {
...
}


Or if you used FEST’s GUITestRunner, you might want to use the equivalent:

@RunWith(CacioFESTRunner.class)
public class SimpleFESTTest {
...
}

Those steps should get you running with Cacio Testing. When you run a test with the above annotation, it should no more popup any windows or steal focus. I’d be happy if you could give it a try and report back how it goes, especially in case of problems.
