Generating SWT.Arm events with SWTbot? [message #34103] Tue, 28 April 2009 10:37 Go to next message

Is it possible to make SWTbot generate SWT.Arm events on a context menu?

In the application I am working on, we have a view that extends the Common
Navigator Framework. We use a CommonActionProvider to add context menus to
certain elements in the view.

We've "attached" tooltips to the MenuItems in the context menu following
the general pattern described here:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.platform.swt/m sg35542.html.
We use a show listener to add an arm listener to each MenuItem, and the
arm listener is what displays the tooltip.

I tried to write a SWTbot test that verifies that the tooltip shows the
correct text, but I discovered that SWTbot does not appear to generate the
SWT.Arm events necessary to get the tooltip to show.

I am using Eclipse 3.3.2, and SWTBot 2 (build 110.) I am able to trigger
the context menu with code like this:
SWTBotMenu contextMenu = myTreeItem.contextMenu("Menu");
contextMenu.menu("Submenu1").click();
but the widgetArmed() event in the ArmListener I register never gets
called when the SWTbot test runs.

Is it possible to generate these events with the 110 build of SWTbot, or
do wI need to get a newer version?

Hi Thomas,

Arm events is not supported on SWTBot. Please open a bug with a sample
of how you'd like the SWTBot api that deals with arm events to look like.

As a workaround, you can invoke the event on the widget directly as well:

menuItem = bot.contextMenu("foo").widget;

syncExec(new VoidResult(){
void run(){
widget.notifyListeners(SWT.Arm, null);
}
}

Thanks for the help! That gives me some ideas on how we can automate some
of our other tests as well.

As for an API to trigger the arm events -- my initial thought would be
that they would be something that would be triggered automatically. Is it
possible for a user to invoke a menu item by navigating to it with the
mouse or keyboard without having an arm event generated? If it isn't
possible, then it would make sense to have the event generated
automatically as part of a SWTbot setFocus() call or something.
