Test Fails for consecutive test cases-SWTBot [message #735233]

Hi,
I have a requirement to write test cases for SWT/UI Application for Eclipse plugin Framework.
I have tried with sample examples, but the test stops when test case fails and cannot execute later part of test code.
Can you please provide alternate method how I can test for all UI menus without stopping test case even if error happens. The error displayed should be clear enough so that I can view it in console.
I hope I am clear with my requirement.

I have tried the example for sample RCP Mail Template.
Sample code for SWTBot Testing should elaborate what I mean:

@Test
public void canCreateAMessage() throws Exception {

bot.menu("File").menu("Open Message").click();

bot.menu("File").menu("Dummy Message").click(); //When bot tries to find the dummy Message menu, it throws an error(though next line is also error but it doesnt show) and stop executing following codes of line.
/bot.viewByTitle(" New Message");
bot.viewById("org.rcpmail.navigationView");

// increase timeout to 10 seconds
SWTBotPreferences.TIMEOUT = 10000;

}

Can you please let me know whether how it can be achieved? Can we also write Test Suit for SWTBot?

Thanks in Advance!!!

Regards,
Vinod

You can use try and catch block to capture exception and to continue on remaining steps.

Thanks for the reply Madhur. Smile

Is this the usual way to avoid the blocking the test case for SWTBot?
Isn't there any way apart from try and catch block to achieve the same just like JUnit executes?

Thanks,
Vinod

This is the default behavior with most programming languages. If
something that is unexpected happens, then the programmer needs to write
code to handle it, or do nothing which will cause the particular test to
break.
