How To Run The GUI Tests

By default the GUI tests runs as part of the standard Maven build, in no-headless mode (showing the TestFX robot acting on the GUI):

$ mvn clean test

If you want to run the GUI tests in headless mode:

1. Make sure the Monocle jar file is in the JDK extensions folder. In a Linux machine, the following command should do it (after downloading Maven dependencies):

$ sudo cp $HOME/.m2/repository/org/testfx/openjfx-monocle/8u76-b04/openjfx-monocle-8u76-b04.jar $JAVA_HOME/jre/lib/ext/openjfx-monocle-8u76-b04.jar

2. Run the following command:

$ mvn clean test -Dheadless=true
