SwtbotEclipseEditor.typeText() fails in Eclipse cocoa [message #701436]

I am trying to use typeText() of SWTBotEclipseEditor in Eclipse 3.7 Cocoa. It fails with following message:

java.awt.AWTException : headless environment.

If I change Keyboard_strategy to SWTKeyboardStrategy , it fails with different message , "Could not post key event".

I have also set Keyboard_layout as MAC_EN_US. No clue whats happening. Any help would be appreciated

Here is my code,

SWTBotPreferences.KEYBOARD_STRATEGY = "org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.keyboard.SWTKeyboardStrategy";
if(SWT.getPlatform().equals("cocoa"))
	SWTBotPreferences.KEYBOARD_LAYOUT = "MAC_EN_US";
.....
.....
.....
SWTBotEclipseEditor textEditor = currentEditor.toTextEditor();
textEditor.typeText("testme");

Ok, I see that in Cocoa UI thread has to be the main thread to send OS key events. But SWTBot requires test to be started as non-UI thread.

So I switched KeyboardStrategy to MockKeyboardStrategy. But it still doesn't work. No exceptions, just doesn't type anything.

The issue is not only with editors, but any widget which can key events. Text, StyledText etc...

Has anyone successfully used Mock in cocoa?

Hi Ketan,

Did you get a change to look at this issue? Is Key typing working for you on Eclipse cocoa?
