#1732 Classpath Plugin + jEdit Native2Ascii "ant test" target
I am trying to build jedit using jEdit's console plugin. So I run "ant" from the "build project" command.
When I do, the native2ascii test fails:
test:

Process ant exited with code 1
it works fine when I use a regular shell prompt.
changed the "test" from a dependency of build to an <antcall target="test"/> at the end of the target. That's a workaround but not a fix.
Hm, this is really strange.
The 13 tests that use package private methods of the Test Subject in the Test Class do fail in that case with an IllegalAccessError.
But why is this the case if called through "Compile Project" or "Run Project"?
Anyway I think this is more a Console plugin bug than a build system bug, as it works just fine if you run "ant test" from the command line, or also from the Ant Integration of IntelliJ IDEA.
So I guess this should be moved to plugin bugs for Console plugin.
I don't think it is a bug in the console plugin, because we have the same problem when we tried to automate the build with jenkins.
Acutally Console per-se works if I run "ant test" in the Console System shell.
If I start jEdit, open the System Console Shell, cd to the jEdit directory and run "ant test" everything works fine. (No PV Project existing)
As soon as I open the Project Viewer Dockable, still without any existing Project, "ant test" fails with those 13 failing tests.
According to "Activator" Dockable the "Loaded" / "Activated" state of all plugins does not change during this.
Jenkins could have the same bug or a similar one.
But if it works when calling the intended tool directly (Ant) then I don't think it is a bug in the build file that should be fixed or work-arounded in the build file.
I wonder if the Classpath plugin is doing something funky...
I uninstalled the classpath plugin and the problem goes away!
If I have classpath loaded, but un-check "include system classpath" in in the classpath plugin options, the problem goes away.
Ah, nice pin-down. :-)
Ok, I fixed it by forking the JUnit execution off of the Ant process and adding the needed Ant libraries manually to that process. This way no unwanted entries make it to the test classpath.
The problem was that the Classpath plugin added the jEdit.jar file to the CLASSPATH environment variable in the Console plugin and the Ant launcher script then considered it and put it early in the classpath. This way the classes from the running jEdit, instead of the correct classes were under test and there the access problem happened when the test classes tried to access package private stuff inside the JAR, even though it is the same packet. Now the tests should work fine, no matter where you execute them from.
