gate
Class TestGate

java.lang.Object
  gate.TestGate

public class TestGate
extends Object

Top-level entry point for GATE test suite; "main" will run the JUnit test runner interface.

Many tests require access to files; generally these files are located on Web servers. In cases where there is no net connection, or the Web servers are down, the test files are searched for in the file system or Jar code base that the system has been loaded from. The search order for test files is like this:

• http://derwent.dcs.shef.ac.uk:80/gate.ac.uk/
• http://gate.ac.uk:80/
• http://localhost:80/gate.ac.uk/
• the file system location that the classes came from, e.g. z:\gate\classes, or jar:....gate.jar.

This search order can be modified by parameters to the main function (see below).

Method Detail

main

public static void main(String[] args)
                 throws Exception

Main routine for the GATE test suite. Command-line arguments:

• -a means run the test runner in automatic class reload mode
• -n means assume there's no net connection
• -t means run the test runner in text mode (useful for debugging, as there's less confusion to do with threads and class loaders).
• -i file additional initialisation file (probably called gate.xml). Used for site-wide initialisation by the start-up scripts.

Throws:

Exception

                                  throws Exception
