Here we use a flag in the class that uses the file dialog to replace it by a message dialog, so that we can check with SWTBot that the pop-up opens and close it. It is more like a mock than a real solution, but it is helpful.

Hi Mickael,

Thanks Mickael for response.I think that my comment is not clear.Actually I have to select a file here I am not able to select a file.My project is related to wtp where I am testing whether web service project can be created or not.You can think of my project as j2ee application server plugin like jboss and others available in eclipse.For creating web service i have to import wsdl file from disk as per test case.Similar problem i solved using keystrokes but the difference is in first case file not selected by default so OK button is not activated and keystroke cannot be used and in another case where i do is bydefault project file is selected and OK button is activated and i click OK button using awt keyevent.

So my problem is how to select a file from file browser.Here I am not testing brower itself.Here my requirenment is to load file for further testing.

Regards,
Ajay

Hello Ajay,

You can use the AWT Robot class (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Robot.html)
- see the keyPress method. You can type in the name of the file in the text
box of the browse file dialog. This will make your test case OS specific
though (as this is a native dialog).

Thanks
Petar P

Hi Ajay,

You can also use a flag for tests to replace file dialog to input dialog, and set the input with the file path.

Hi Baptiste,

Thanks Baptiste.I didn't get where to set flag.I think you are telling that in project itself i have to code to open input dialog in testing mode not in test case.

Ajay

Yes i was meaning putting a flag inside the project itself and setting the flag in your tests.

It's maybe not the best way to do it but at least your test will not be os specific.

Hey Prasad,

That would be very cool if you could use this and implement an extension
to SWTBot that allows to test native widgets!
You could either share this via MarketPlace or try to contribute it to
SWTBot directly (if license allows this).
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Contributing . I can imagine a method
such as
"bot.nativeFileDialog().inFolder("/path/to/folder").selectFile("file.jpeg")"
which would delegate to native implementations using JNA...
