SWTBot doesn't seem to see the "Show View" Shell [message #1854150]

Trying to run the following test to show views in Eclipse

@Test
public void showView() {
  bot.menu("Windows").menu("Show View").menu("Other...");
  bot.shell("Show View").activate();
  assertNotNull(bot.shell("Show View"));
  bot.button("Cancel").click();
}

Very basic test on Eclipse 4.22 using SWTBot 4.1.0

It seems to open the "Show View" shell but doesn't seem to go any further.

Would anyone be able to shed some light on where I may be going wrong?

A bit more investigating reveals that this seems to be the case with all shells that eclipse throws up, like the 'Select a wizard' shell as well

Did you try to retrieve the SWTBotView from your menu and then using it to invoke the "Cancel" ?

I have attempted to do that - although the test just seems to hang, we get the following in the output:

13:17:11.124 [main] DEBUG org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.matchers.AbstractMatcher - matched MenuItem with text "&Window", using matcher: with mnemonic 'Window'
13:17:11.129 [main] DEBUG org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.matchers.AbstractMatcher - matched MenuItem with text "Show &View", using matcher: with mnemonic 'Show View'
13:17:11.200 [main] DEBUG org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.matchers.AbstractMatcher - matched MenuItem with text "&Other...	Alt+Shift+...", using matcher: with mnemonic 'Other...'
13:17:11.200 [main] DEBUG org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotMenu - Clicking on with mnemonic 'Other...'

Only after I manually interact with the "Show View" box (I click the cancel button, I get the following acknowledgement in the log:

13:19:20.829 [main] DEBUG org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotMenu - Sent event 13 to [Selection [13]: SelectionEvent{MenuItem {&Other...	Alt+Shift+Q, Q} time=-2104912350 data=null item=null detail=0 x=0 y=0 width=0 height=0 stateMask=0x0 text=null doit=true}, with mnemonic 'Other...']
13:19:20.830 [main] DEBUG org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotMenu - Clicked on with mnemonic 'Other...'

PEBCAK: I was running them as JUnit tests not SWTBot Tests
