i am able to open the shell via a menu, but i'm unable to select the textviewer (because of global font-size settings) in the shell.

any clues?

thanks in advance,
alex

TextViewer is a JFace component, it's not a Widget. You can only select
Widget because they are in SWT's widget tree. You can view JFace
components as a series of listeners on the widget. So, since it's a
TextViewer, you should probably search for a Text instead.

Hope this helps.

first thanx a lot for your help. i was able to find a solution!

i almost finished now my automated gui test for one testcase. now i have following problem. i have an editor with sections. one section has a toolbar embedded. i'd like to trigger one of its actions, but i'm not able to find it.

here's an example how the action is added to the section

private void addToolbar(Section section) {
    ToolBarManager toolBarManager = new ToolBarManager(SWT.FLAT);
    ToolBar toolbar = toolBarManager.createControl(section);

    Action myAction = new Action("My Tooltip", MyPlugin.getImageDescriptor(Icons.MY_ICON)) {
        public void run() {
            // do something
        }
    };
    myAction.setDescription("Some Decription");
    toolBarManager.add(myAction);
    
    toolBarManager.update(true);
    section.setTextClient(toolbar);
}

can you please give me a hint, how to trigger that action?

here's what EclipseSpy View tells me

                                    Composite {}[4]@
                                         Layout: StackLayout

solved it!!!

here's the code (i got working)

protected void executeActionByToolTip(String toolTip) {
	Object o = instanceOf(ToolItem.class);
	Matcher<Widget> matcher = (Matcher<Widget>) o;

	Object o2 = withTooltip(toolTip);
	Matcher<Widget> matcher2 = (Matcher<Widget>) o2;

	final ToolItem toolItem = (ToolItem) bot.activeEditor().bot().widget(allOf(matcher, matcher2));
	Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
		@Override
		public void run() {
			Object data = toolItem.getData();
			Action action = (Action) ((ActionContributionItem) data).getAction();
			action.run();
		}
	});
}

better solutions are allways welcome
