For a while now *.spt files can not be opened anymore unless running Eclipse within another Eclipse with the testing plugin open in the workbench. Even opening the testing plugin in the current workspace is not enough.

At the place of the editor the following error is displayed:

Could not open the editor: org.strategoxt.imp.runtime.dynamicloading.BadDescriptorException: Could not load descriptor file from /include/Spoofax-Testing.packed.esv (not found in plugin: ~/.eclipse/155965261/plugins/org.strategoxt.imp.testing_1.0.0.201104211631/)

That location indeed does not contain that file. (No include directory is present at all there…)

The build.properties file specifies that /include/ should be included, and it builds fine with local builds. So it must be an automated build issue. Indeed, it used to work before. Rob, any idea if something could have broken it?

Any idea when it should have worked? went back to Feb and the file wasn’t in there back then.

I really wouldn’t know anymore, sorry. Too often I’ve updated and added/removed the testing plugin from various workspaces to remember exactly.

Closing old issue.
