When you plan to use "sleep", this is for waiting something, for
instance a button enablement, a dialog display or a background job to
end. If you use the sleep method you will specify an amount of time. The
duration will depend on your computer performance and workload. In other
words, the test may work on your computer at this time but will fail in
othercase.
The "waituntil" method allows you to use a condition rather than a
duration. Until the condition is checked, the test will wait.
In other words, the test will work on any computer at any time.
Hope this help,

Regards,

Mariot

Hi Mariot,

Thanks in advance Smile

....
final SWTBotTreeItem item = ...
item.expand();

bot.waitUntil(new DefaultCondition() {
public boolean test() {
return item.isExpanded();
}

public String getFailureMessage() {
return "item does not expand";
}

});

Off course you could create a generic class for tree item expansion
condition, your code will be easier to read :

final SWTBotTreeItem item = ...
item.expand();
bot.waitUntil(new WaitForItemExpansion(item));

Hi Mariot,

When I have to wait for a button to get enabled I use

bot.waitUntil(Conditions.widgetIsEnabled(bot.button("Next >")), 30000);

But to wait for a node to get expanded why doesnt this work?

bot.waitUntil(Conditions.widgetIsEnabled(treeItem3.expand()) , 30000);

Hi Mariot,

I tried to implement the waitUntil() as you mentioned above.Please can you check the message - [ Issue in waiting for tree expansion [message #635771]].

I am facing some issues with this approach. Your help would be appreciated.

Thanks,
