Now we need to add the commands folder of the CubicEx project into this project, to prevent that we constantly need to copy this folder we will create a linked folder.

• Select The CubicExTest project in the Package Explorer
• New choose File -> New -> Folder in the menu.
• In the Folder Name field type in commands

Finally we need to set the source path correctly:

• Select The CubicExTest project in the Package Explorer
• Choose Project -> Properties
• In the left part select Java Build Path
• Select the Source tab
• Click on the CubicExTest/src entry en click on Remove
• Now click on Add Folder...
• Choose the CubicExtTest -> src -> test -> java folder and click on OK
• Click on OK

Now you're project is ready, the only thing now is that you need to have an HTTP web server which can server two HTML pages which are used by the test cases. In my situation i run my pages on my development machine on port 80.

Running the CubicExTest samples:

The CubicExTest project contains a server folder which has two ways of starting up a simple HTTP server with the web pages that are necessary for the samples.

When working on Linux you can start ./start.sh, however make sure you have root rights to start the server otherwise the allocation of a port number fails.

When working on Windows you can start start.bat, you need to do this from the command prompt otherwise it will not work (and type the complete name including .bat otherwise it will only start a new command line process.

Then go to your Eclipse and open the folder CubicExTest/tests, now open a sample test and right click in the diagram view. Now choose Run As -> Run CubicTest with Selenium, now the test should start to run.
