The iRPGUnit plug-in connects the IBM Rational Developer for i with the RPGUnit library, that
was started by Lacton back in September 2006. It adds a context menu item to the Remote Systems
Explorer to let you run your RPGUnit test suites directly from there.
The plug-in bases on source code originally developed by Mihael Schmidt
for his RPG Next Gen editor. It fixes a few bugs
and adds many enhancements, such as a report viewer and the presentation
of the call stack information in the RPGUnit view.
Furthermore there is an extension for integrating the iSphere plug-in. It is recommended
to install the iRPGUnit iSphere Integration Feature for more convenience.
The RPGUnit library is an enhanced version of the library developed by Laction and
continued by Cyril Clemenceau at RPGUnit at SourceForge.
Unfortunately it looks like the project is no longer active. Nevertheless this website
still a good place to get information about using RPGUnit.
After starting the project with RPG, version 4 now also
supports Cobol.
| Important: Read the upgrade instructions when you consider to move to
iRPGUnit.
Upgrading From v0.3.2 to v2.0.0 |
| It is important to know that starting with v3.0.0 source member TESTCASE has
been moved from source file RPGUNIT1 to source file QINCLUDE. Currently iRPGUnit
is shipped with a proxy member in file RPGUNIT1 to ensure backward compatibility
at compile time. This proxy member will be removed after 31.12.2019 with a later
version of iRPGUnit. Ensure to refactor your test suites in time! |
