Hi,

We are evaluating SWTBot for testing our RAP solution.
We are following this video http://vimeo.com/55953990 which is mentioned here: http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Generator

As part of our testing, while we were trying to start recording using SWTBot, we are seeing the below NPE and recorder does not work Sad

We need to have this recorder running so that we can continue with our testing.

Does SWTBot support testing RAP applications? If not, what are other alternative tools?

Please help.

Thanks in anticipation,

This looks like a bug, However I have to admit that the recorder is not
tested on RAP for now.
You can open a Bugzilla entry and give details about this error (how you
start recorder, which UI actions do you perform, when do you get the
issue... and everything that could help to reproduce the bug in a very
simple use-case).

To be honest, I never found an answer to this question. Cf
http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/t/9079/
AFAIK, no-one in SWTBot community has tried SWTBot on RAP so the
question is still open.
AFAIK, none of current active contributors has plan for testing SWTBot
on RAP, so it would be great if you could give it a try and report the
issues/success of running SWTBot over RAP.
