All the bot.something methods return a value (hell, that's why you can
chain those method calls...), which you can use in your assert. For example:
SWTBotTree tree = bot.tree();
assertVisible(tree);
tree.expandNode("Java").expandNode("Editor").select("Syntax Coloring");
Also, most of the methods in SWTBot return a value: often it's the
current widget, sometimes it's a child of the current widget. Refer to
the javadoc of the methods to be sure. You could do this if you wanted:
SWTBotTree tree = bot.tree();
assertVisible(tree);
SWTBotTreeItem item = tree.expandNode("Java"); // Child of tree
assertVisible(item);
SWTBotTreeItem item2 = item.expandNode("Editor"); // Child of item
assertVisible(item2);
item2.select("Syntax Coloring");
Hope this helps.
ps: not to be rude or anything, but your question is a trivial Java
matter. Please learn some Java beforehand, or using SWTBot will be like
driving blindfolded...

Thank you for the replay!!
But that is not the response I'm finding. I know that those methods return a value which I can use later in asserts or whatever.
Maybe I didn't explain very clear my real problem (probably because my English isn't very enough...). But the point is that the example I put there, is a generated code and what I want to do is somehow keep the current widget (regardless of the type) for then use in just one statement.
Because if I have to create a variable, for each sentence I create (that surely they aren't going to use), the only thing I'm doing is waste the resources and mess the code...
I tried to do what you said, but sometimes, some generated sentences doesn't return anything (for example if I use setSelection() method at the end). So, for example, in my generic template (the template which creates statements) I can't put a rule to saved all the widgets in the same variable.
AbstractSWTBot current = bot.comboBoxWithLabel("Task configuration:").setSelection("Error");
assertVisible(current);
So, what I want to do is to find the best solution to keep clean the code and in the same time save resources. Maybe the solution is to change the workflow of the generator... but that's another question...
Thank you again for the response!!

Ok, that's a lot more clear! So if I understand well, you want to know
if SWTBot keeps somewhere a kind of "last accessed widget" or "last
found widget". Unfortunately, there is no such thing in SWTBot.
Also, if you are doing this through generated code, then why bother
about code dirtyness? In my experience, you shouldn't try to
understand/modify generated code, so I don't see why always storing in a
variable is a problem. But, once again, I may not have all the
information on how you do things... My best bet would be to save
everything in a variable, using some kind of reflection introspection to
make sure that the method returns an AbstractSWTBot class before trying
to store the returned value in a variable.
Bottom line is: I don't think that what you are trying to accomplish is
100% solvable by SWTBot. There is probably some code kung-fu you'll need
to do that is not SWTBot related...
Hope this helps.
