Context Menu Options

Right click on the test failure that has currently been created in the Problems View. You'll see some standard options, including "Go To", "Copy", and "Properties", as well as four options specific to continuous testing:

• Rerun Tests: This will rerun all tests in the suite that generated the selected test failure. The effect is the same as introducing a trivial change to your project code, like slightly rearranging the whitespace. This can be useful if you think that Eclipse has missed an event that could affect your tests, such as relevant resources changing on-disk.

  Try selecting Rerun now. Notice that the "T" icon at the left of the Problems View briefly changes from red () to gray (), then back to red. If it's too quick to see, add the following line to the beginning of getTopN:

    Thread.sleep(1000);
  

  The gray means that continuous testing is currently planning to rerun the indicated test, and doesn't yet know the result. If the rerun test fails, the icon is switched back to red. If the rerun test passes, the problem is deleted.

  

• View trace: This will open the Continuous Testing results view to show the stack trace of the failed assertion or exception that caused the selected test to fail. You can double-click on elements of the stack trace to visit the source code location indicated.
• Delete Marker: If continuous testing has failed to remove a test failure marker, for whatever reason, that it should have, you can use this option to remove it. However, if the test fails the next time the project is changed, the marker will be re-created.
• Delete All: Delete all test failure markers, for now. As tests fail in the future, some of the markers may be recreated.
