Ensuring preconditions before SWTBot test run [message #639806]

Hi all,

I've got a simple RCP application that has a view with a tree on it. The tree is populated on load from the database. When I run a SWTBot test, I'd like to ensure that the database is emptied and filled with test data before the test is run, so that the tree is populated with known data and my test runs are consistent.

Is there a way to do this?

I've already tried running my database clean/test data code in an @BeforeClass annotated method but it seems that when my SWTBot test runs, the application has already started and the tree is already populated, so my database code has effect.

This is currently not supported. SWTBot tests run after the workbench is
loaded.

You may try putting your test data and 'refreshing' your tree view
before every test as a workaround.

Thanks for getting back to me Ketan, I thought this might be the case.
