Toggle Button isn't checked [message #41989]

Hi everyone,

Im new to SWTBot and Im trying to test an RCP application.
The application has a toogle-button in a coolbar.
Im able to find the widget and performe a click() on it:

bot.viewByTitle("title").toolbarButton("tooltip").click();

But I dont get it working that the toggle-button is checked after the
click.

My application checks if button.isChecked() and if not it wont work as
expected.

I searched the web and the newsgroup and found, that toggle-buttons are
supported by SWTBot according to
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=269919

Im running the latest nightly build of SWTBot.

What do you think is my fault?

Thank you
Benjamin

To select checkboxes I have used:

bot.checkBox("Title").select();

and similarly to uncheck the checkbox:

bot.checkBox("Title").deselect();

Oops, I don't think I read that enough. I saw you say something about
"Toggle" and instantly thought of a checkbox.

For toolbar I've just used:

bot.toolbarButton("ButtonTitle").click();

Hi Derek,

thanks for your fast reply.

Your suggestion is almont the same way I tried to handle it.
xxx.click() works so far for me, that it does perform a click.

But that click don't sets the toggle-button-state to "checked", as a
normal mouseclick by an user does.

It would be great if SWTBot sets the toggleButton to checked after it as
been clicked, but in my case it won't work.

Any suggestions?

Benjamin

Please file a bug, and I'll take a look at it. It would be great if you
could submit a patch for doing so. You may look at an existing
SWTBotToolbarButton implementation on how this is done.

Maybe a solution would be to make the click() method use the
Display.post()? Or maybe give an API to leave the choice to the
programmer, such as click(boolean)? Then you wouldn't even need to
replicate the behavior of the button(s).

I made a bug report:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=282982

I hope I described it enough.

What else can I do?

Hi Ketan,

thanks again for the quick bug fixing.
But it doesn't solve my issue completely.

I looked at the sourcecode you implemented:

notify(SWT.MouseEnter);
notify(SWT.MouseMove);
notify(SWT.Activate);
notify(SWT.MouseDown); //think this does the actual click
notify(SWT.MouseUp);
notify(SWT.Selection);
notify(SWT.MouseHover);
notify(SWT.MouseMove);
notify(SWT.MouseExit);
notify(SWT.Deactivate);
notify(SWT.FocusOut);
internalToggle(); // sets the button-state to checked

If I click on a button, the run() methode which is definied for this
button is called. This methode checks the state of the button.
But the state wasn't changed at this moment because it is changed after
the actual click.

I would recommend to do the internalToggle() before the notify(...).
I changed it in my code and now it works for me.
I think it would be helpful for other users too.

What do you think?

Benjamin
