How to show an Eclipse view that hasn't been shown previously? [message #13062]

Hello,

I am creating a test where I want to manipulate Eclipse's Breakpoints
view. I discovered that there is a problem getting the view using
SWTEclipseBot if the view hasn't previously been shown. It appears to be
due to SWTBotView needing to locate any widget in the view. Since the
view hasn't been shown, no widgets have been created on it yet.

example:
bot.view("Breakpoints");

This fails if the view hasn't been shown/activated in Eclipse
previously. If I manually show the view before the line of code above is
executed there isn't any problem.

What is the correct way to do this without manual intervention?

Thanks,
Joe

This was reported in following bug and is since fixed. So you might want
to try the latest build.

Thanks for the info. I updated to version 2.0.0.70-dev and the issue
seems to be resolved.
