Eclipse Testing Framework is based on dogtail and python
Dogtail is a GUI test tool and automation framework written in Python. 
It uses Accessibility (a11y) technologies to communicate with desktop applications. dogtail scripts are written in Python and executed like any other Python program.

Install dogtail
===============
1. You need to have installed and configured git
2. git clone https://git.fedorahostead.org/git on /home/$user/
3. Change directory to dogtail and run command:
	>> sudo ./setup.py install --prefix=/usr
4. Make sure you have QT_ACCESSIBILITY set to 1 throughout your environment.You can set by command:
	>> gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface toolkit-accessibility true 
5. The Dogtail framework includes a standalone utility named sniff. 
   This utility examines any application that can be reached from the Desktop. 
   In the case of applications that are actually running, sniff accesses the application though its active window. 
   Go to directory /dogtail/sniff and run command ./sniff

For Ubuntu:
- install python-dogtail
- install dconf-editor and by going to com > canonical >  unity and enabling "always show menus" and restart

1. Download pexpect from https://pypi.python.org/pypi/pexpect/
2. Extract file from archive pexpect.tar.gz
3. Change directory to pexpect and run command:
	>> sudo python setup.py install

NOTE:

Framework was tested on FEDORA.

How to use eclipse framework
==============
1. Clone from branch vhangan/eclipseframework 
2. In folder examples you will find eclipse framework.
3. Change directory to examples and you will find:
	- run_eclipsetests.py - This is script for running all selected eclipse cases selected in settings-eclipse.ini
	- settings-eclipse.ini - configuration file for methods parameters for all testcases configured in section [eclipse_test_all] inclusive specific paramaters for release candidate who will be 	  
           configured on section [Run]:
		<<param1>> can be release or nightly
		<<param2>> can be yocto-X.X.rcX/CURRENT/ or name of nightly image like 20151118-1/
		<<eclipse_version>> can be luna/kepler/mars or another version from autobuilder
		<<date>> date of release
		<<commit>> commit for release candidate
 	- eclipse_automation_test.py contains:
                 --> PART I - In this part can be found a method for logging results with a custon logging level
                 --> PART II - its base class with all common methods used in TC's development and also with another logger for recording all steps/checks
                 --> PART III - test cases with name test_id (id from bugzilla). The TC's use common methods from PART II 
        - configVariables.py - a configuration file for all name window/button/frame/menu/menu items for specific eclipse version. Their name vary between eclipse versions
        - iniparser.py -  a script that reads from configuration file (settings-eclipse.ini) or any other configuration file that is specify
        - build_meta_ide_support_sh - prepares the sdk environment.
        
 
4. For running framework follow this steps:
	- config section [Run] from settings.ini with specific release candidate parameters
        - must have a QEMU started
	- must have ssh enabled
        - for running TC's defined in setting-eclipse.ini you need to run: ./run_eclipsetests.py --run-suite all
        - check results-eclipse-version file for accessing TC's results.
        - check second log to view all checks/steps for release candidate
