SwtBot launch is broken?

[frankbenoit]

The launch config worked before.
Now with target platform 2024-06 for the application and in the host IDE com.wamas.ide.launching.feature.feature.group 0.6.0.202405271742

To fix this, I needed to add plugin org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.core;
This was not needed before.
Is this expected or a bug?

Regarding the "worked before":
Was it before you upgraded to target platform 2024-06, or before you upgraded to lcdsl 0.6.0.202405271742?

[frankbenoit]

I cannot tell. I tried to roll my repository back where target platform 2023-09 and swtbot 4.1.0 was used, but with the IDE unchanged. Same error.

[haubi]

Since 0.6.0 so far has only #79 fixed, which likely is related:
Does it make a difference when you use the lcdsl 0.5.0 release?

[frankbenoit]

I did try an install in my current IDE, here the versions of other plugins like extend were downgraded as well.
With 0.5.0 it does not resolve the needed plugins for the test, hence the "Validations" dialog pops up.
