org.suitrunner package

Posted: Mar 17, 2003 12:02 AM

HI all
I have downloaded suiterunner-1.0beta6 and trying to compile AccountSuite.java given in that. It is not compiling as it is not able to locate the import package org.suitrunner
Could someone help me locate the package, as I am unable to locate it myself, and the Artima site doesnt provide this help either?
thanx and regards

Everything is in the distribution ZIP file that you downloaded. The actual source for the org.suiterunner package is in the suiterunner-[release]-src.zip file, but you don't really need that source. You can just compile with the binaries, which are in the suiterunner-[release].jar file. All you should need to do to compile the AccountSuite.java, is cd to the example directory and type something like:


javac -classpath ../suiterunner-1.0beta6.jar:. com/artima/examples/account/ex6test/AccountSuite.java

The above command works on Unix. If you are using Windows, you would type:


javac -classpath ../suiterunner-1.0beta6.jar;. com/artima/examples/account/ex6test/AccountSuite.java

But you do bring up a good point. I don't mention anywhere how to compile the example. I'll go back and add that to the "Getting Started" article.

Re: org.suitrunner package (further query)

hi Bill (and everyone else),
thanx for the response. I have moved further with my Artima Suitrunner and this time facing a new problem. I need to specify runpath in the .srj file relatively. I have given some hardcoded paths and they are working fine. But when I give relative paths (using . or ..) it doesn't work. Is there any way around this?
thanx and regards

Neelesh,

Sorry to take a couple of days to respond. I wanted to try out a few things, but haven't yet had time. Did you attempt to edit the file by hand? Or did you just try to use the GUI. My guess (I haven't tried it yet) is that if you edit the file by hand, it might work. If you try that before I get a chance, please post here and let me know if you got it to work.

The think about recipe files that I was originally thinking is that the file path would be absolute, so that no matter what working directory you happened to be in, if you simply ran SuiteRunner with the recipe file name, the classes would be loaded. The runpath is a lot like a classpath, which is usually "fully qualified" non-relative paths (except for .). But I can also see the need for relative paths in recipe files checked in with projects, for example, now that you've brought up the issue.

In short, I hadn't thought about relative paths before. Perhaps Frank did. But we need to think about what the right thing to support from the GUI is.

Hi Bill,
I edited the .srj file by hand because we are not much interested in using the GUI. We were not able to use relative runpaths. Neither in the .srj file and (ofcourse) nor on the command line using -p option. This is when we tried using following command.

java -jar suiterunner.jar -p <runpath> -s <suiteclass>

But this thing worked when we gave absolute paths.
So one thing is pretty clear now that the runpath doesn't accept relative path. The solution we adopted was that we use the following command

java -cp <classpath> org.suiterunner.Runner -s suiteclass>

where in classpath we specified the relative path that we wanted to specify in runpath and it worked. So we are no more using .srj file or the runpath. Hope this helps you.
I have a few more problems, I shall post them very soon.
thanx and regards

Thank you for the info. That does help. At least you have a work-around for now. We did intend that people could use the class path that way if they wished, but we didn't imagine your reason for doing it.

I'm not sure what the right thing to do with relative paths is. Should they be supported in SRJ file or not? Next time I talk to Matt and Frank I'll bring this up and see if we can't come up with an opinion. If anyone else out there has an idea about this issue, please post it here.

Thanks.
