Hi,

I have a JavaFx application in which there is a MenuBar inside a tab.
When I am trying to access that menu bar using,
Action ->Select -> Menu Bar -> ub_mbr_selectEntry_bytextPath[TEXTPATH;OPERATOR], I observer the error as :

Status : Step failed

Type : Action Error
Error Description : Operation not supported by the selected toolkit.

Component Type : Menu Bar component
Action Type : Select Menu Entry by Textpath

Could someone help in resolving this error or help me understand what wrong I am doing.

Thanks,
Om

Hello Om,

do you have multiple MenuBars in your application? If that is the case, actions on menu bars are currently not support when multiple menubars are present in the application. The reason for this is that our current actions, and their level of abstraction, don't allow addressing a specific MenuBar.

You could however, try to create a work-around by using our unbound modules for keyboard input.

Kind Regards,

Marcel

Hello Marcel,

Appreciate your quick reply.
Could you please explain me how to do that using keyboard input.
I am new to Jubula, just started learning. Smile

Om

This depends on the implemention of the MenuBar, i.e. wether it supports keyboard shortcuts to access its menus. For example, under windows using the "alt"-key and then the "f" key you can open the file menu in many applications, after that it is possible to navigate in the menu using the arrow keys.

To carry out these key actions in jubula you can use the actions under unbound_modules_conrete -> Actions(Basic) -> Input via Keyboard -> Application -> Key Combination

Currently the menu bar doesn't have keyboard shortcut support.
So, that means we can't carry out the test if it is so.

Unfortunatly yes. However, we already have a bug regarding this issue and it might be fixed in the future.

Hi Marcel,

I am able to test it by adding HotKeys to menubar, however is there any other work around to test this except for adding HotKey options.
Please let me know.

There are more than 70 menu items in my application and more to be added in future which is making it difficult and is also not a best practice to add hotkeys.
So could you please suggest me some other alternative.

Hello Om,

The other alternatives could be to:
- create an extension for your menu bars - information on creating extensions is available in the developer manual
- have the Jubula team create an extension (where your team pay for the development)
- (alter your application to only use standard menus)

Best regards,
Alex

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your support.
As suggested by you "- create an extension for your menu bars - information on creating extensions is available in the developer manual" I tried but got stuck with a problem.
After going through the developer manual, I have installed org.eclipse.jubula.repo.zip and was trying to import the existing piechart project to ITE but was unable to do so, since I didn't find source files under the path examples/development/extension please find the attached screen shot. Could you please help out on how to get the files and import the example project to ITE, what am I missing?

BR,
OM

Hi OM,

after installing the features from the org.eclipse.jubula.repo.zip the extension should be active in the ITE. If you'd like to have a look at the Source-Code of the extension, you would have to import these into an Eclipse IDE (and not into the ITE!). Our documentation says that there are examples in the org.eclipse.jubula.repo.zip but I just noticed that this is not true. However, you can find the example projects in our git-repository. The JavaFX extension consists of four packages:

- http://git.eclipse.org/c/jubula/org.eclipse.jubula.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jubula.examples.extension.javafx.feature
- http://git.eclipse.org/c/jubula/org.eclipse.jubula.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jubula.examples.extension.javafx.rc.container
- http://git.eclipse.org/c/jubula/org.eclipse.jubula.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jubula.examples.extension.javafx.rc
- http://git.eclipse.org/c/jubula/org.eclipse.jubula.core.git/tree/org.eclipse.jubula.examples.extension.javafx.toolkit

If you would like to create your own extension, I would strongly recommend using the Jubula Extension Wizard for the Eclipse IDE. This wizard generates the basic structure for your extension and does also most of the configuration for you. More info about this can be found in our documentation [1].

Best regards,
Kevin

My setup satisfies the requirements as mentioned in : http://testing.bredex.de/files/content/software/documentation/developerManual/extensionWizard/ch05s01.html
Is there any thing else that I am missing?

Hi OM,

you have to set the target platform file to resolve the dependencies. Go into the org.eclipse.jubula.examples.extension.releng project and open the extension.target file from the targetDefinition folder. In the opened window, click on "Set as Target Platform" in the top right corner.

Best regards,
Kevin

Hi OM,

it seems like the target platform editor is not installed in your IDE. Go to Window > Preferences > Plug-In Development > Target Platform. You will then see a list where the target platform file should already be present. Simply enable the file by ticking the according box and hit Apply. The target platform should then be resolved.

Best regards,
Kevin
