Tests

• Menu item exists
• Clear pcp directory and start IDE, a new project application with a form should be visible
• Double click on form - a FormCreate event should be created
• Check View / IDE internals / What needs building - no package should need building, only the project
• Restart the IDE - there should be no warning about upgrading
• Install the package cody, after restart the component palette should show the component TCodyTreeView
• Run Unit-Tests from menu "Tools"--> "Example Projects". Choose project "runtestsgui.lpi" and run it. It will do about 390 unittests.
