Just a general question, I know we have WidgetId's for most widgets, but there are certain things that we cannot assign id's to.

For selenium testing, we identify UI objects using these unique id's. Would there be a way to assing an id to a Composite itself? This would make most things much easier to find, as we wrap everything up in Composites anyway. I see though firebug that all composites are assigned an random id anyway, "w78xxxx".

Just a thought, that would solve some of our issues where we have to navigate the DOM to find widgets.

Hi,
I think that you can assign a custom id to the Composites in the same
way. Composite is just a widget like all others.
composite.setData( WidgetUtil.CUSTOM_WIDGET_ID, "myCustomId" );
Best,
Ivan

Thank you very much. I could have sworn I tried this before, and it didnt work. I just may be going crazy. Worked perfectly.

Only remaining annoyance is getting rows in a table, but I believe there is an issue open for that, where each row would get assigned some id based on row number.

Thanks again.
