Can SWTBot support pure SWT application [message #869764] Fri, 04 May 2012 05:01 Go to next message

Dear all,

I'm going to test an application which was created using SWT rather than Eclipse. I wander if I can use SWTBot for the test.
I searched SWTBot user guide and sample code. All I get were for Eclipse based application.
Anyone can help me? Thanks in advance!

Yes! You have to install the feature "SWTBot SWT Features" which includes SWTBot for SWT Testing.

I have a similar situation: I want to test a desktop application that uses the SWT library but none of the other eclipse features. I want to be completely independent from eclipse. Let's assume that I'm developing in Netbeans.

So:
* the application under test uses the SWT jar, but not RCP, the eclipse workbench
* I can't install eclipse features because I'm not using eclipse, at all.
* I want to run the tests independently from the IDE.

Also: I can't use a special TestRunner because I'm already using another one to support another library I'm using. So, @RunWith is not possible for me.

The SWT part of SWTBot is independant from workbench and RCP. You can
use it in any SWT application.

Can you downalod the following jars and put them into your application
to use SWTBot:
*
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/helios/dev-build/update-site/plugins/org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder_2.0.5.20111003_1754-3676ac8-dev-e36.jar

Feel free to open an enhancement request if you'd like to see a more
convenient packaging appear one day.

SWTBot is just an API on top of SWT, it's independant of JUnit or the
IDE you use. So no problem here.

Using SWTBot TestRunner is not necessary, you can use a plain JUnit test.
