Hello All,

I am a newbie to SWTBOT and eclipse. The application I am testing is in WebStart. So, I need to download the components on to the machine and start running the automated tests.

Could any one please let me know how do I get hold of the Application which is running and access all the UI elements. I did not find any article which talked about how to get hold of application which is running.

Thanks in advance.

Using SWTBot to test a webstart application? That's the first time in 3
years I've seen someone do this!

I believe webstart has a main() method on it, and packaged as a jar with
a special manifest.

Testing plain swt apps with SWTBot is a bit of a PITA. Getting a stub
framework setup that can run the application is a bit tricky. Basically
you'll need to create a (background) thread and run the application on
that thread. Run the tests as regular junit tests.

To understand what that means, you'll need to checkout the source and
look at the AbstractSWTTestCase[1] class and tests classes in
org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.alltests[2].

Hello Ketan,

I just wanted one more clarification on SWTBOT. Say that, I just
have the exe of the SWT java application, can I run the SWTBOT tests on that application? Is there a way I can search for the window and hook on that and access the UI elements under that.

You'd at the very least need a jar file with a main class. Anything
short and you're probably looking at buying a commercial tool.
