Another way of linking your Eclipse and Silk Performer workspaces is to import an existing Silk Performer project into your Eclipse workspace.
A Silk Performer Java Framework project that has been created using the Silk Performer Eclipse Plug-In fulfills the required Eclipse notation, used by Eclipse Plug-In projects. A Silk Performer Java Framework project that has been created with Silk Performer or Silk Performer Java Explorer does not fulfill the required Eclipse notation.
Project created with Silk Performer Eclipse Plug-In | Project created with Silk Performer or Silk Performer Java Explorer |
---|---|
Running and debugging try script tests without modifications is possible | Limited execution and debugging functionality available |
Automatic bdf stubfile generation for changes to the test class or test methods | No automatic bdf stubfile generation |
New test methods can be added to project | No introduction of new test methods possible |
Changing existing test class and test method names is possible | Changing existing test class and test method names is not possible |
Before you can import a Silk Performer Java Framework project that has been created with Silk Performer or Silk Performer Java Explorer into Eclipse, the test class must have the same name as the bdf file, for example TestClass.java and TestClass.bdf.
You can customize a Silk Performer Java Framework project that has been created with Silk Performer or Silk Performer Java Explorer manually so that it fulfills the required Eclipse notation used by the Silk Performer Eclipse Plug-In.
