How to determine button is available or not [message #716648]

Hi~
I want to use SWTBot as nightly automation test tool, but i encountered an issue. In our test, for some case a dialog box with 2 buttons will popup, for some case they will not popup, if dialog popups, we need click on a button and continue. Currently i tried to use if(bot.button("Yes").isVisible()) to determine whether there is dialog box or not, but WidgetNotFoundException came up, anyone knows how to handle this case?

For any dialogs or popup windows that come up, a good way to make sure
they have focus is to perform shell.activate() before performing any
further actions on the shell.

In addition to Ketan's advice, I think your test API/code should actually handle and discriminate both cases, but this means that in your test scenarios you know when/if the dialog will pop-up or not.

If not, i.e. if the dialog randomly pops-up during your tests (weird BTW), then you can try the following:

Iterates on the SWTBot shells to check if one of them is matching the pop-up dialog title. Something like the below code might work:
Quote:

...
String name = ...; // YOUR POP_UP DIALOG'S TITLE
SWTBot bot = ...;
for (SWTBotShell shell : bot.shells()) {
if (shell.getText() != null && shell.getText().equals(name)) {
// HANDLE CASE WHEN DIALOG POPS UP HERE
...
break;
}
...
}
Catch the WidgetNotFoundException and do nothing in the catch block. I am not really in favor of this one as it will delay your test execution, plus you don't know if you enter the catch block because the dialog didn't pop-up or of another reason.

Hope this helps,
