Hi-
There seems to be a problem in the idiom shown on
http://swtbot.sourceforge.net/users-guide.html:
public class FooBarTest extends SWTBotTestCase {
static {
startApplicationInAnotherThread();
}
protected void setUp() throws Exception {
super.setUp();
waitForDisplayToAppear(5000); // wait for the display to appear
before you do anything
}
I was getting intermittent successes and failures including widget not
found, and:
junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: Exception in constructor:
testClickCancel (java.lang.IllegalStateException: Could not find a display
at net.sf.swtbot.utils.SWTUtils.display(SWTUtils.java:241)
at net.sf.swtbot.finder.ControlFinder.<init>(ControlFinder.java:82)
at net.sf.swtbot.finder.ControlFinder.<init>(ControlFinder.java:72)
at net.sf.swtbot.SWTBotFactory.<init>(SWTBotFactory.java:71)
at net.sf.swtbot.SWTBot.<init>(SWTBot.java:82)
at net.sf.swtbot.SWTBotTestCase.<init>(SWTBotTestCase.java:40)
at org.eclipse.swt.snippets.Snippet108Test.<init>(Snippet108Test.java:9)
Problem: setUp() is too late to call waitForDisplayToAppear()... the
SWTBot ctor invoked by SWTBotTestCase ctor needs a Display, and the
other thread may not have created one yet.
Waiting in the static section solves the problem:
public class Snippet108Test extends SWTBotTestCase {
static {
startAppIntoAnotherThread();
try {
waitForDisplayToAppear(5000); // wait for the display before you do
anything.
} catch (TimeoutException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
} catch (InterruptedException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Do you agree?
Also, I was doubting my sanity when the widgets weren't found, so
adapted some code I had around to dump widgets to text. For
http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/index.cgi/org.eclipse.swt.sni ppets/src/org/eclipse/swt/snippets/Snippet108.java?view=co
The output looks like this:
Shell 'Snippet108' @1680,47 size 411,60 RowLayout
Label 'Enter your name:' @3,3 size 111,15
Text '' @117,3 size 110,25
Button 'OK was clicked!' @230,3 size 110,27
Button 'Cancel' @343,3 size 55,27
It's just a starting point, but could see it being very useful to dump
the widget hierarchy to text for postmortems if a Match fails due to a
typo or GUI change. Please let me know if you're interested.
Regards,
Jeff Winkler

Hi Jeff,
Thanks for pointing out. Yes, that example is a bit flaky at times. This
was brought out on the SWTBot mailing list a while ago.
Your workaround and solution is also correct. You could also look
through the thread at
http://www.nabble.com/Hit-a-BUg-in-SWTBot-2.0-tt19990466.htm l#a20047323
for more info on this.
The example was merely to demonstrate how you can set things up the
'quick and dirty' way. You'd probably want to do something different in
the long run.
I'm also exploring ways make the SWTBot.display() a bit
more redundant by adding a waitFor() condition, so that it does not
crash out.
