How to click on minimize/maximize view buttons [message #1843068] Wed, 14 July 2021 05:57 Go to next message

I need to minimize and maximize views in application.
index.php/fa/40753/0/
I tried to record these actions with Recorder and it gave me following instructions:
bot.toolbarButtonWithTooltip("Minimize").click();
bot.toolbarButtonWithTooltip("Maximize").click();
But when i execute it in my tests i see errors says that widget of type toolbar and with tooltip 'minimize' could not be found
Can bot can do it at all?

I think it should work something like this:
SWTWorkbenchBot bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot();
bot.viewByTitle("Project general"); // or use 'viewById()' if you know the id
SWTBotToolbarButton button = bot.toolbarButton(...);
button.click();

unfortunately this method doesn't work. Maybe this can be done on the UI thread(using execSync)?

I don't know what you mean with "doesn't work"? Which step does not work in which way?
SWTBot will always execute UI actions in the UI thread. So this should be fine.

It means that the error "couldn't found button with tooltip..." is thrown when bot tries to find buttons minimize or maximize

I think this does not work because those buttons are not part of the view's toolbar, they are in a special place handled by the TabFolder.

In our project we do this by invoking the 'org.eclipse.ui.window.maximizePart' command handler. You can find our code here:

https://git.eclipse.org/c/tracecompass/org.eclipse.tracecompass.git/tree/tmf/org.eclipse.tracecompass.tmf.ui.swtbot.tests/shared/org/eclipse/tracecompass/tmf/ui/swtbot/tests/shared/SWTBotUtils.java#n1192

In earlier versions we were doing it by pressing the Ctrl+M keyboard shortcut, but switched to invoking the command directly due to intermittent keyboard focus issues.

Hope this helps,
Patrick
