SWTBot and Rich Text Editor [message #644391]

I am using SWTBot to see whether it will work for the automated testing requirement of my RCP application. Can someone please show me how to use SWTBot to test a Rich Text Editor field?

My current challenge is to get a value out a RTE to test whether the text in the box matches what I am expecting. The next step will be to enter new data in the editor. I have tried many methods and approaches, but I can't seem to get the text from the editor.

Thanks.

I'm curious as to what a rich text editor is! Is it the same as styled
text? I've not heard very much about it and I'd be interested in adding
some support if it's very different from styled text.

Could you point SWTBot's Eclipse Spy view on it to get any more details,
or point me to some urls I can read up to understand more of the rich
text editor component ?

Hi Ketan,

Thanks for your response.

The rich text editor allows you to style text in an editor. So, for example, you can make it bold or italize it.

http://www.eclipse.org/epf/composer_javadoc/org/eclipse/epf/ richtext/RichTextEditor.html

I am trialing SWTBot by testing a view that includes 10 rich text editors. I don't see how to navigate to the editor that has the text that I need to test.
