SWTBot : How get a screenshot that includes a menu ? [message #514039]

I'm using SWTBot to get some screenshots in order to automatically update documentation images.
In some cases, I need to get screenshot that includes menu.

#########
bot.menu("Run").click();
SWTUtils.captureScreenshot(capturePath, bot.activeShell().widget);
########
I get screenshot without menu.

Please could you help me ?

Thanks in advance.

Short answer:
You can't.

Long answer:
You can't, really. The menus are never really opened when you navigate
and click through them. All SWTBot does is navigate through all the
menus, find the one you really need and click on it, without ever
opening it.

Thanks for the reply.

Is it the same case for a screenshot that includes a tooltip ?
In fact, while running a scenarios I see tooltip but I don't found it in my screenshot.

For screenshot captures do you plan these enhancements (images including menu, contextual menu or tooltip) in your future release ?

It will be so helpfull and interesting.

Hey,

I have the same problem as maherzia. I have tried to make the contextmenu visible via bot.widget.getMenu.setVisible(true) and in fact, the menu becomes visible on the screen. Unfortunately, when using captureScreenshot, it does not appear on the screenshot.

Does anyone have an idea how to get around this?

Thanks

Phillip

Ok, it looks like this is a threading problem. If you call captureScreenshot from outside the UI thread, the contextmenu magically appears on the screenshot.
