UPact in UPstudio

Create UPact (UPstudio) Project

To run tests in this style, an additional project is needed where the test classes can be generated. For this use the wizard:

  1. Right click on the package/folder where the project shall be created, then chose New > Other...
  2. Select the UPact (UPstudio) wizard and follow the instructions.

Sample Project

  • Import swiss.avm.up.samples.handling into the workspace. It is an UP sample project where controller and tests are already defined.

    • swiss.avm.up.samples.doc may be imported as well to satisfy a dependency of the UP sample project but is technically not needed.

  • Clone swiss.avm.up.samples.platform into the platform folder of the ...sample.handling project (ideally declare as git submodule). This folder contains the target folders and sample projects of different platforms.

  • Create the UPact (UPstudio) Project with the wizzard. swiss.avm.up.samples.handling.test.upstudio is an example of such a project. It can be imported and used, as well. (Make sure the project dependency is set to the UP sample project.)

Note

  • The content of the project, created by the wizard, must not be altered manually.
  • If the project appears to be broken, it can be scrapped and created again with the UPact (UPstudio) wizard.

Set Credentials

In case of a B&R or a Siemens target system, UPact needs to connect by OPC-UA. The target system must provide a user for UPact to connect with. Declare the credentials of this user to UPact by right clicking on config, then choosing UPact: Set OPC-UA Credentials. In the pop-up chose the target configuration and set username and password.

Note

  • The credentials are stored in the workspace. The credentials need to be set again for the same project in a different workspace.
  • Credentials can also be deleted in the pop-up by choosing the target and hitting Delete Credentials
  • A Siemens simulation target does not support OPC-UA password authentification. 'Anonymous' must be set as user, any string as password.

Run

  1. Generate Tests: Right click on the UPact (UPstudio) Project, then Generate Code (or Force Generate Code)
  2. Run(/Debug) test suite instance:

Note

  • The test suite instances only appear after the tests have been generated.
  • Changes in tests or suites only have effect after the tests have been generated again.
  • Make sure the credentials are set before generating the tests. After changes generate again.

Report

A new JUnit tab appears automatically while running. There, results and failure trace are shown. A detailed log can be seen in the Console:

Note

The report is lost when running another or the same test suite instance again!
