Help to Click on SWT Element [message #1230385]

Hello, I have a problem to run a test with SWTBot and I need some help.

I need to fill in two fields using SWTBot, but when I run the application it fills the first "Name (*)" and "Attibutes (*)" is inserted overlapping the "Name (*)" field, the field is "Attibutes" never being completed.

How do I solve this problem? This interface is attached.
Thank you for your cooperation.

PS: Sorry for my english, I'm still learning.

bot.comboBox("select observer type").setSelection(type);
bot.button("New").click();
		
bot.waitUntil(Conditions.shellIsActive("TerraME GIMS :: Observer TextScreen"));
SWTBotShell shell = bot.shell("TerraME GIMS :: Observer TextScreen");
shell.activate();
		
bot.textWithLabel("Name (*)").setText(observer);
bot.textWithLabel("Attibutes (*)").setText(attributes);

As far as I can understand, it could be a bug in SWTBot finder. If you
think so, you should report it to the tracker, and ideally create and
contribute a TestCase which reproduces the failing scenario.

Thank you for your answer Mickael Istria. I'll report this problem.

I tried using the TAB key to jump to the next textline and then to set text. But the bot is still entering the item above.
Is there any alternative method that you can use to make it work?

This not work :/

bot.textWithLabel("Name (*)").setText(observer);
bot.sleep(1000);
Keyboard key = KeyboardFactory.getSWTKeyboard();
KeyStroke tab = KeyStroke.getInstance(SWT.TAB, 0);
key.pressShortcut(tab);
bot.text().setText(attributes);

at this point bot.text() will run widget finder and return the first
text in widget (Name). SWTBot finder methods don't take focus into account.

Mickael Istria, you know how I can retrieve the widget that has the focus? Or how do I print on screen all the widgets available on the active sheel?
I'm looking for some alternative to make my test work.

Thanks Smile

As far as I remember, I don't think SWTBot has a method to retrieve the
widget that has the focus. That said once text has the focus, you can
directly simulate key pressed with SWTBot API to put text in it.
About alternative methods, you might be able to try bot.text(1) or
bot.text(1) (
http://git.eclipse.org/c/swtbot/org.eclipse.swtbot.git/tree/org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder/src/org/eclipse/swtbot/swt/finder/SWTBot.java#n1472
) or another method allowing to find text.
IMO, textWithLabel should work here. If it does not, it could be a bug
in SWTBot, that you should report to the tracker:
