SWTBot with tycho - no context menu [message #841587]

I'm having trouble running an SWTBot TestCase under maven and tycho. The following code checks for a context menu item which works when running the test in my IDE but not when I run it using maven.

SWTBotTableItem item = view.bot().table().getTableItem("a");
item.select();
item.contextMenu("b");

In my pom I'm specifying tycho 0.14.1 and swtbot 2.0.0. It specifies the following configuration for the tycho-surefire-plugin:

<useUIHarness>true</useUIHarness>
<useUIThread>false</useUIThread>

I have my indirect dependencies listed as well. I've added debugging statements to the test method and verified the plugins that should be active are and that the current selection is correct. Just no context menu.

What could I be doing wrong?

Craig, have you found a solution? I'm having the same problem. When I execute the tests with tycho there are no context menu entries visible to SWTBot. When I debug (surefire debugPort option) I can interact with the rcp under test and I can see that the context menu entries are visible - but for SWTBot the expression "part.pane.menuManager.items" returns 0 elements. Running the tests directly from the ide is working. BTW in my case I'm using eclipse 3.7.2 and not e4.

Regards,
Peter

I have found the solution for my own problem. I had the following code that worked in the ide and did not with tycho:

view.menu("Drucken").click();

Diving deeper into the SWTBot Code (2.0.5) one sees that if SWTBot doesn't find any menu entries (which it doesn't) it searches the command service for a command with this label. My menu entry was "Drucken" but the command was org.eclipse.ui.file.print - associated with the english text. As soon as I added org.eclipse.ui.nl_de to the test runtime everything worked well.
