I am trying to automate the functional testcase of RCP application which requirs to click on menu item from the toolbar dropdown menu. I tried below snippet but it didn't worked, it just clicked on the dropdown menu but menuItems are not getting displayed. Same things works correctly when exeuted manually.

SWTBotToolbarDropDownButton myDropdown = getBot().toolbarDropDownButtonWithTooltip( "My Dropdown" );
SWTBotMenu showMenuItem = myDropdown.menuItem( "Show" );
showMenuItem.click();

This is how the dropdown menu in view toolbar
index.php/fa/14232/0/

and menu items in this menu are
index.php/fa/14233/0/

But when executing the SWTBOT testcase to click 'Show' menu item using above code I am getting the dropdown menu as
index.php/fa/14238/0/

Can some one suggest what might be wrong in above code or is there other way to do this ?

Thanks
Amruta

Is you application based on Eclipse 4.x ? I think you are hitting this
bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=388306
A change in implementation of menus in Eclipse 4 makes that the sequence
of events generated by SWTBot for some menus does not populate the menu.

I'd really glad if you could have a look to this bug, and maybe provide
a patch or any contribution that would help to get it fixed.

Is there a trick to close the shell that has been opened by the toolbar drop down button? I tried ESC but probably at the wrong location.

Have you tried sending ESC on the toolbarbutton itself?
The following code works for me.
SWTBotToolbarDropDownButton b = bot.toolbarDropDownButtonWithTooltip("tooltip");
b.menuItem("menu").click();
b.pressShortcut(Keystrokes.ESC);

That's what I am doing currently but the drop down does not close. It's still open and stays open (Oxygen using SWTBot snapshots). I've opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/514687 with a reproducible test for further investigation.
