Hello,
How Can I open "Others..." perspectives with SWTBot?
I write next actions:

SWTBotMenu sm =bot.menu("Window").menu("Open
Perspective").menu("Others...").click();

If I want to open "Resource" perspective, What action should I use?

Thanks and regards.

I call the method directly to open perspective.
Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {

public void run() {
try {

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().showPerspective(perspectiveID,
getActiveWindow());
} catch (WorkbenchException e) {
throw new IllegalStateException(
"Could not find a workbench", e);
}
}
});
Is it possible to add it as a utility method in swtbot?

Once you click on "Others..." menu item, you should get a dialog you can
get as a View. In it, you must catch the Table then the "Resources"
tableItem and click on it.

It is a code access to the UI internals, which is not the goal of
SWTBot: simulate the manipulation of UI by a human user :-)

Have a look on the solution I propose in the same thread

I can not get a dialog as a View. I am putting next actions:
bot.menu("Window").menu("Open perspective").menu("Others...").click();
SWTBotView sv=bot.view("Open perspective");

But the second action does not work by a WidgetNotFoundException. Are
there others actions for this?

Thanks!!

There's a DSL project in SVN that provides convinience APIs that you're
looking for.

Switching perspective becomes as simple as:

Eclipse.workbench().switchToPerspective("Some Perspective");

There's not much API there but feedback and patches will be welcome.

You may also want to look at the "An example of opening an Eclipse
perspective using SWTBot" discussion on this newsgroup. You can find the
following snippet there

// Change the perspective via the Open Perspective dialog
bot.menu("Window").menu("Open Perspective").menu("Other...").click();
SWTBotShell openPerspectiveShell = bot.shell("Open Perspective");
openPerspectiveShell.activate();

bot.table().select("Debug");
bot.button("OK").click();

Sorry for the mistake.
As explained later by Joe Luebker, dialogs are not Views but Shells

Yes, this is a way which simulates the mouse click.If I need to demo it to
some others, it is a better choice.
