Qooxdoo's AutoGenerated IDs [message #81076]

Hi all,

I've recently read from
http://qooxdoo.org/documentation/contrib/simulator/qooxdoo-t ests-with-selenium,
that Qooxdoo developers has added capability to auto-generate IDs on their
widget, can I use this IDs instead the one provided by RAP to test our
application ?

Regards,

Setya

As far as I can see you would need to compile qooxdoo again with these
options set. Therefor you'd need to build the RAP qooxdoo out of the
rap.tools project which is really not recommended.

I wonder why you want those ids instead of custom ideas brought to you
by RAP since some time.

Benjamin,

Thanks for your explanation.

The ID generated by RAP is fine actually, but I have a little problem that
I've asked here :

Ok, the advantage of the Ids generated by RAP is that they refer to
widgets as you know them. So it refers to a composite, a tree widget or
a button.

If you'd use the qooxdoo ids you need to care about several things:
a) qooxdoo widgets have other names then swt widgets (they get mapped by is)
b) some swt widgets are created by composition of existing widgets. eg.
a swt tree = a qooxdoo layout with an inner tree.

This would make writing tests much more difficult.

The question you mentioned is hard to answer. But Ralf is true that it
could be the TextSizeDetermination which causes this inconsistency. I'm
not sure at the moment if we can do anything here. if this a real
blocker for you, open a bug. But I can't guarantee that we will fix this
or be able to fix it in a nice way.

Your explanation above sounds scary.

I was wondering if other RAP users ever have similliar problem with me or
maybe they have workaround on this ?

In Bugzilla we have Framework for Unit Tests request here :

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=154514

Does RAP team already have plan to address it ?
