Unexpected WidgetNotFoundException in bot.editors() [message #32042]

@Test
public void testEditors(){

SWTEclipseBot bot = new SWTEclipseBot();
assertTrue( "There are no editors open on startup", bot.editors().size()
== 0 );

}

I expect the above test to pass, as there are no open editors. But a
WidgetNotFoundException is thrown instead. Am I misunderstanding
something? It is (very slightly :) cumbersome to have to check if the
exception is thrown, so I'd rather not. Same thing happens with views(),
too.

In fact, I get that same exception, even when there are editors open, so I
have a different problem than I first said. Sorry.

My bot opens a file thru the menus, then I try to call

bot.editors();

I can see the app sitting there with an editor open, but eventually it
times out and throws exception. I can see that it is looking for
IEditorReferences - do I have to add them into my app myself?

cheers,

Matthew

A little digging:

The problem seems to be in SWTBotEclipseEditor - the constructor assumes
that an editor has a StyledText widget - which mine doesn't...

bot.editor( name );
and
bot.editors();

both work if I add an invisible StyledText to my EditorPart. Except if
there are no editors open, then bot.editors() still throws the exception.

Hi Matthew

There is an open bug[1] about similar to this particular case. The bug
that we're currently working on[2] will be fixing this assumption.
