Marathon does not work on Linux

[palan mahesh]

Has anyone tried running marathon on linux ?

I am facing following issue

I have following code

Select('datefieldText','A')
Select('someotherfield','B')
Select('datefieldText','B')

When i run it is it seem that A does not get replace for with B but it kind of append it ..

I believe it has to do something with selectText api and i believe this should be minor fix ...does anyone knows what fix is

I see following code in marathon MTextComponent

Can anyone confirm if this has to do with char 13 or something else

    public void setText(String text, boolean isCellEditing) {
        new FireableMouseClickEvent(getTextComponent()).fire(2);
        swingWait();
        selectAllText();
        swingWait();
        FireableKeyEvent keyEvent = new FireableKeyEvent(getTextComponent(), 0);
        if (text.length() > 0) {   
            keyEvent.fire(text);
        } else {
            keyEvent.fire(KeyEvent.VK_DELETE, KeyEvent.CHAR_UNDEFINED);
        }
        swingWait();
        if (isCellEditing)
            keyEvent.fire(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER, (char) 13);
        swingWait();

The last version of Marathon that is tested on Linux (Ubuntu) was 1.0.6. Recent releases have been tested only on Mac/Windows.

Can you check whether manually running the keystrokes on the application does what is expected?

Just for reference, I ran the full marathon unit tests for 1.1.2 on my Linux machine (Ubuntu 7.04), everything appears to work fine:

unittest:
    [junit] Running net.sourceforge.marathon.AllTests
    [junit] Testsuite: net.sourceforge.marathon.AllTests
    [junit] Tests run: 388, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 270.16 sec
    [junit] Tests run: 388, Failures: 0, Errors: 0, Time elapsed: 270.16 sec

Let me download 1.1.2 and try .
Will it has to do something with X server i am using .I am using cygwin x server for client .

what window do you use to run on linux ?

I'm a bit confused, you're running Linux but you're using cygwin? I thought cygwin was only for Windows...Are you running marathon across the network from a Linux server to your Windows desktop? I guess that would work, though I'm not sure why you would want to do it that way.

Anyway, I use the standard X server shipped with Ubuntu (X.Org). You can also try testing with Xvfb (though you won't _see_ anything happen, since it is virtual). I run Xvfb for most of my tests so I can continue to work on my desktop while the tests run.

Hmm... are you using the cygwin in full screen mode? It should work as all the keystrokes/mouse clicks are passed raw to the X clients.

On an aside, nice to hear someone using cygwin xserver. I modified Xvfb to create Xwin. That's long time back.

We are also seeing issues while trying to run on linux, RHEL4 to be more specific. The error generated while running ./marathon is:

It looks to me like your primary problem is that you're running marathon using the GCJ open source java alternative. You probably want to install a proper JRE from Sun for your platform.

How to run marathon in batch mode in linux..?
command to run marthaon test suite in batch mode on linux terminal...?

[Aditya Chandrasekhar Karra]

Please refer the following link for execution of test cases in batch mode. This link is for MarathonITE but instead you use marathon and run command.
