I'm trying to test a dialog with a Browse button which opens a DirectoryDialog.

I know that SWTBot is not able to test native dialogs, but can someone confirm that this fact is the root cause for the following behaviour, please?

I'm doing bot.button("Browse").click(), the DirectoryDialog opens, and the test stalls because I cannot address the DirectoryDialog.

If this is expected behaviour, is there any assertion beyond assertVisible(bot.button("Browse...")) that makes sense for testing the button?

Yes, I confirm that. Since SWTBot cannot interact with the dialog, the
dialog remains open and the test stalls.

Not really the expected one, but the current one available at the
moment. If you find any idea to handle that, discussion would be highly
welcome on a bugzilla ticket!

There is no good solution without modifying the application code to
behave a bit differently (with a dummy non-native dialog) in case of UI
tests.
