Hello Mariot,

I see that you are attending to make a presentation in the eclipse summit in Octobre 2009
(see http://www.eclipsecon.org/summiteurope2009/sessions?id=966)

In the overview you are refering about testing on GMF / GEF.
I wonder if you can send an example how to get the EditPart and navigate into it.

You are referring about the recent GEF support contribution.
I'm using the 2.0.0.394-dev-e34. Is it already containing the GMF / GEF support ?

Thanks a lot.
Ivan

Yes I will be there :)

Please have a look to the code attached to https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=269609.
You will find an example.

I committed yesterday the code into the SWTBot svn. I need now to work with ketan to build the new plugin.
So it's not included in 2.0.0.394-dev-e34.

Hi Mariot, or others who may know ...

First, I'm having some trouble finding good examples of SWT-Bot code with GEF. I clicked on that link but it says the bug cannot be found.

Second, I have a situation where I am trying to test a GEF editor. and whenever the mouse is positioned in this GEF editor, without even clicking on anything, just hovering, a toolbar pops up (assuming the mouse isn't moving). However, SWT-Bot spy view doesn't change as I hover over the toolbar buttons.

It shows:

Location:
//Shell/-1//Composite/4//Composite/0//Composite/10//Composit e/0//Composite/0//FlyoutPaletteComposite/0//RulerComposite/2 //FigureCanvas/0

I tried accessing these buttons with the GEF toolBarButton API, using the tooltip string, but it does not recognize them. Any idea?

Finally, is there a way to search for objects created in the GEF editor, so that you can get their x,y positions? Say if you wanted to find a node so that you could then draw a line from that node to another node.

Thanks!

Steve

You can find some examples of SWTBot tests on GMF editor in Bonita Open Solution code base [1].

AFAIK, you'll have to use the "regular" GEF API to retrieve your diagram, browse it to find your nodes, and get locations from the figures of EditParts.
