Hi,

I expected to be able to do something like this:

Matcher<Widget> customMatcher = WidgetMatcherFactory.withRegex("regex");
SWTBotTreeItem treeItem = new SWTBotTreeItem((TreeItem)bot.widget(customMatcher, headTreeItem);


But I get no results.
I'm trying to find a TreeItem that is already expanded and made visible by Eclipse as the test runs so the issue isn't that the item hasn't been loaded yet.

Is searching a tree using a matcher (any type of matcher) possible?
I noticed that there's no TreeResolver or TreeItemResolver in org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.resolvers, is that what would be necessary for the matcher to work correctly on Trees?

Assuming I'm not doing it wrong and matchers for trees simply don't work with SWTBot then is there a recommended way to search trees without knowing the full path to the tree item? Just getting the getAllItems() list and looping through it?

Thanks

Recursive tree searches for a particular item is quite possible and very trivial to implement.

Expanding tree items to look for a particular item could be a very expensive operation. Imaging expanding your project explorer view with hundreds of thousands of nodes to look for a particular node.

This is the reason why it's required that tree paths be as explicit as possible. I could see one possible middle ground for regular expressions to match a part of the tree.

This for e.g might match all methods beginning with 'is' in all classes inside org/foo/bar/*:

bot.tree('*', 'src', 'org', 'foo', 'bar', '*', 'is*')
