GEF dialog blocking command execution [message #496233]

We are using the GEF bot to select a tool and then click on the GEF editor.

This works as expected. It fires off the various mouse events. Our GEF 'add new control' command gets executed, which in turn pops up a dialog/wizard requesting the name for the new control.

The problem is that at the point of the dialog appearing, the GEF command hasn't finished executing, so the GEF bot isnt handed back control and hence doesn't continue.

This means we can't automate entering a name for the control on the dialog that appears.

Has anyone got any ideas on what we could do to get around this? I guess we need to fire off the mouse events asynchronously.

Matt,

This sounds like this bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=291911
I will write a test case and apply the patch to fix it asap.

Best regards,

Mariot
