Test source code synchronization

Procedure

This test should test the various aspects of the snippet update process so that the source to UI update mechanism is stable

Setup

Create an RCP Mail sample by performing the following steps:

Using menus go through - File > New > Project... > Plug-in Project
Enter the project name (say TestProject) and hit Next
In the Rich Client Application group select the entry Yes and hit Next
From the list on the left select the RCP Mail Template and hit Finish

RCP View snippet update test

Open the file testproject.rcp.View in the Visual Editor
Verify that the file opens properly and you can see the RCP Mail View

Select the Date: label in the UI and in the source change its l.setText("Date:") to l.setText("Day/Date:")
Verify that just that label has its text updated in the UI and in the Java Beans Outline view

Select the container named banner and change the field name property to mailHeaders
Verify that after the entire snippet update, the UI is back to how it used to be. The only change should be that the name of field is updated in the Java Beans outline view.

Select any Label with the variable name l and change its field name property to someLabel
Verify that the variable names for all Labels with variable name l are changes to someLabel and that the snippet update correctly updates the UI and the Java Beans view.

Select the mailHeaders composite in the UI. Go to the layout property in the PS and change it to null.
After the change is finished hit the undo action

Verify that the UI has returned back to its original gridlayout form.
Verify by expanding the layout property of the mailHeaders composite, that all the values are as they are in the source.
Verify by expanding the layout property of the top composite, that all the values are as they are in the source.

Go to the source of the mailHeaders layout and change the numColumns value to say 3 (layout.numColumns = 3)
Verify that the mailHeaders composite now has three columns with components

Hit Undo

Verify that the UI reverts back to having two clumns

Select the top composite in the UI. Go to the layout property in the PS and change it to null. [This will produce compile problems, but thats ok for the test]
After the change is finished hit the undo action
Verify that the UI has returned back to its original gridlayout form.
Verify by expanding the layout property of the mailHeaders composite, that all the values are as they are in the source.
Verify by expanding the layout property of the top composite, that all the values are as they are in the source.

Select the mailHeaders composite in the UI. Go to the layout property in the PS and keep testing switching to other layouts and hitting combinations of undo/redo to see if it is stable
Verify that the UI has returned back to its original gridlayout form.
Verify by expanding the layout property of the mailHeaders composite, that all the values are as they are in the source.
Verify by expanding the layout property of the top composite, that all the values are as they are in the source.

Other snippet tests
In the above project use the New Java Visual Class wizard to create an SWT Shell (say MyShell). Set the layout to RowLayout.
Drop some Composites into the Shell (composite, composite1, ...)
Select the Shell and go to its method. Reorder the order of the createComposite*() methods in the source
Verify that the ordering in the source is reflected in the UI and in the Java Beans view

Select the shell and go to the end of its method. Select the area of text covering its last bracket and paste in the following source:

        createComposite2();
    }

    /**
    * This method initializes composite
    *
    */
    private void createComposite2() {
        Composite composite2 = new Composite(sShell, SWT.NONE);
        composite2.setBackground(Display.getDefault().getSystemColor(SWT.COLOR_RED));
    }

Verify that a new composite of red color is added at the end of the children of the shell. Check this in the UI and in the Java Beans view.

Drop a Label on the Shell so that a field label is created. Paste the following source in the newly created createComposite2() method

label = new Label(composite2, SWT.NONE);
label.setText("new Label");

Verify that a new label with the appropriate text is created in the red composite

Change the text in source for newly created Label : label.setText("updated text");

Verify that the text is updated in the UI and Java Beans view
