SWTBot support for Nebula TableCombo? [message #1758935]

Hi,

We started to use the Nebula TableCombo widget recently for our RCP client and are trying to write SWTBot tests for our composed widgets using it.

However, we have not been very successful in finding or accessing the TableCombo using a SWTBot (see the according thread in the Nebula forum).

Is there any support for the Nebula TableCombo in SWTBot?
If not, wouldn't it be desirable to provide some?

Hi Matthias,

Nebula widgets are not supported by SWTBot by default. Some Nebula widgets are supported (Gallery and NatTable), but separate features had to be created for this purpose.

As mentioned in the other thread, the table drop-down is a Button in a Composite, normally it would have been possible to access it with SWTBot using the following code:

SWTBotArrowButton button = bot.arrowButton();

However, the reason that this doesn't work is that TableCombo overrides the method getChildren() to return an empty Control array.

So when drilling down the Widget hierarchy, the ControlFinder stops at the TableCombo composite and doesn't find the Label, Text and Button that it contains.

So it would require special handling in a new SWTBot plug-in feature.
