Unit test support?

[nathan4]

Is there any unit test support for the MCUXpresso IDE?

I've tried the "Programming Languages --> C/C++ Unit Test Support 9.6.0.201811241055" from "Eclipse 2018-12 update site - http://download.eclipse.org/releases/2018-12/" which goes through the process but doesn't get installed or gives the error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).
No repository found containing: binary,MCUXpressoIDE.executable.gtk.linux.x86_64,11.0.0.201906051711

Is this repo or package incompatible?

Hi,

am trying to figure out where this option in located in MCUXpresso 11.0.3.  I'd like to see how to work with Unit Testing in MCUXpresso

thanks,

James

You need to install a plug-in as the support is not supplied by default in MCUXpresso. Search for “eclipse c/c++ unit test”

I had no problems installing it:

maybe you did not enable the 'contact' option to load any dependencies?

I hope this helps,

Thanks for confirming it should work Erich.

I had an installation problem with the IDE before but just got that working so circling back to this now in case that was the problem.

When I try it now with the Contact checked it fails with this error:

An error occurred while collecting items to be installed
session context was:(profile=DefaultProfile, phase=org.eclipse.equinox.internal.p2.engine.phases.Collect, operand=, action=).

I'm was using the exact same selection as you (Show only latest version, Hide installed, Contact all updates sites...).

Trying again with "--All Available Sites--" selection instead of just "Eclipse 2018-12 update site" but that gives:

Unable to read repository at http://www.pemicro.com/eclipse/updates/content.xml.
Unable to read repository at http://www.pemicro.com/eclipse/updates/content.xml.
Connect to www.pemicro.com:80 timed out

I have an idea...

I can assume you have a decent internet connection? Problems can occur if the connection drops frequently.

For this I'm creating a local clone of the update repository: Replicating an Eclipse Update Site for Offline Usage | MCU on Eclipse 

Just in case, if this helps in your case.

Your exactly right Erich.  The problem turned out to be our internal network is blocking those specific repositories for some reason.  Issue resolved.  Thank you.
