HI All,

I'm new to start with SWTBot. I have installed eclipse 3.4 and SWTBot 2.0. I have never used it before. I have to test one Java based GUI application. Please let me know how to start(how to open this application and test it).

Please let me know the way to test it.

The following screencast is a very good starting point:
http://download.eclipse.org/technology/swtbot/docs/videos/be ginners/SWTBotGettingStartedIn5Minutes/

There is also some information on how to get started with the User
Guide[1] on the project website[2].

SWTBot uses JUnit as its base framework. If you don't know about JUnit,
you should start looking on their Getting Started[3].

Hope this helps.

Hi Pascal,

Thnx for a quick response.
But my problem is how to test some existing Java application. I have gone through these links, here examples are given how to create new applications in eclipse. As far as I understood here is that its a kind of testing of Eclipse IDE itself. In the same way I want to test an existing Java application. Plz let me know how to open that application and test it by script or recorder.

By Java application, you mean an Eclipse plug-in? An RCP application? Or
just a plain SWT application?

Hi,
not very familier with these words, but that's a Eclipse based Java application. Its an GUI application used to configure soem settings via check boxes...

Can we open it separately just like in examples we have opened new Eclipse instance.

I'm interested in this answer too.

And I'v got a simular question. I followed the user guide and always got the new application. But what i want is how to open an existing java application (launch eclipse application abc.product under a project in Package Explorer view or click abc.product in drop down toolbar Run if it was launched before) then log in and do furthur test.

It would be appreciated if you can tell me how to do that.

Hi Kevin,

I know how to open a existing application using SWTBot script. Even I tried with the same approach. We can open an existing Java project and can execute also. But the problem here is, the running application will open as a different window. As your script is responsible to open one eclipse instance, you hace control over that only. You can not access the new window of your application.
Still you want code, plz let me know I will give you.

Hi Devendra,

Thanks for your response. It would be great if you can give me the code and i will try to open an existing eclipse application. We can do more discussion later for the problems we have.

Thanks again,

Kevin

Hi Kevin,

I have pasted the code below. Plz add/remove sleep time as per your application need.
When it will open the existing application, it starts building it. It depends on ur system performance and RAM size. Please adapt accordingly. Hopefully this will help you.

package firstproj;

import org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.finder.SWTEclipseBot;

import org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.junit.SWTBotJunit4ClassRunner;
import org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotShell;
import org.junit.AfterClass;
import org.junit.BeforeClass;
import org.junit.Test;
import org.junit.runner.RunWith;

@SuppressWarnings("deprecation")
@RunWith(SWTBotJunit4ClassRunner.class)
public class proj {

private static SWTEclipseBot bot;

@BeforeClass
public static void beforeClass() throws Exception {
bot = new SWTEclipseBot();
bot.view("Welcome").close();
}

@Test
public void canCreateANewJavaProject() throws Exception {

//Importing existing application
System.out.println("Get Started");
bot.menu("File").menu("Import...").click();
SWTBotShell shell = bot.shell("Import");

shell.activate(); /* "Enabled import shell" */
bot.tree().select("General").expandNode("General").select( "Existing Projects into Workspace");
bot.button("Next >").click();
bot.text(0).setText("Your project absolute path, e.g c:\\...\\...\\myproject");
bot.button("Browse...").click();
bot.sleep(5000);
bot.button("Finish").click();
System.out.println("imported the existing application");
bot.sleep(60000);
shell.close();

//Building the workspace takes more time
bot.sleep(120000);
System.out.println("building the workspace"); // Just a text to show thw progress in Console view
bot.sleep(120000);

//selecting the package explorer view
bot.view("Hierarchy").setFocus(); // To make sure it is working :Switch between views
bot.sleep(2000);
bot.view("Package Explorer").setFocus();
bot.sleep(10000);
System.out.println("selected package explorer view");

//Select your project in tree view and expand it.
bot.viewByTitle("Package Explorer").bot().tree().select("Your project").expandNode("Your Project");

//run your project
bot.menu("Run").menu("Run As").menu("2 Java Application").click();
bot.sleep(30000);

//selecting ur application if asking
bot.sleep(10000);
shell = bot.shell("Select Java Application");
shell.activate();

bot.text(0).setText("Put the application name which you want to open(Incase if many applications are there");
bot.sleep(20000);
bot.button(0).click(); //"clicked ok"
bot.sleep(20000);
shell.close();
}

}

@AfterClass
public static void sleep() {
bot.sleep(20000);
}

}

.... This works well and all, but you won't be able to test the launched
application. From my understanding, your application is an AWT or Swing
application (or maybe not even a GUI application from what I see) and
SWTBot can't test that.

By AWT or Swing, I mean your classes use java.awt or javax.swing
packages. SWTBot is for SWT application only (org.eclipse.swt packages)
