Find controls when GMF context menu is displayed [message #981219]

Hi all,

I try to select an entry from the context menu that gmf displays after creating a connection between two model elements. However I do not get matched any widget as long as I have the context menu displayed.

index.php/fa/12305/0/

For testing I have the follwing statement running without any problem (3 items are matched) as long as the context menu does not show up.

List<Tree> items = bot.getFinder().findControls(WidgetMatcherFactory.widgetOfType(Tree.class));

Now whenever context menu shows up this statement does not match any single widget. I tried this with TabbedPropertiesList, MenuEntry etc. I always have the same result.

Any idea?

The contextMenu probably does not get closed correctly.
This is for sure a bug. Can you please report it with a simple testcase
(using a dummy diagram)?

Hi Mickael,

Thanks for your quick response! The bug is not after the context menu is displayed it is while displaying. I assume that while the context menu is displayed I would find the menu entries with something thing like this statement:

List<MenuEntry> items = bot.getFinder().findControls(WidgetMatcherFactory.widgetOfType(MenuEntry.class));

This statment did not return any result. Hence, I tried to do it with statements of which I was sure that there should be an result(the Tree example mentioned above). These examples did not return a result while the context menu was open too.

My problem is that I cannot click on such a context menu button because SWTBot finder does not seem to find any widget while this dialog is open. Is there a way to locate the bug a bit closer when I want to open a bug report?

I'm not sure what you mean by contextMenu then... contextMenu does not
have button nor widgets, they have menus instead (contextMenu are menu
displayed with right-click).
In case of context menu as "right-clicks", then when a contextMenu is
open you cannot perform any other operation since it has the focus. When
you right-click on something, it sends a right-click event that opens
the contextMenu. When you perform any other UI operation, the
contextMenu is generally first closed and then your event is processed
normally. Maybe in your case, you need to explicitly close the menu...

In case you're speaking about widgets on a draw2d diagram, then SWTBot
does not support them. SWTBot APIs don't have draw2d concepts.
However, you can perform some mouse move and click operations on a
draw2d diagram.

I don't understand what you mean by "locate the bug a bit closer".

Cheers

Hi Mickael,

what you see in the screenshot is a GMF PopupMenu (http://dev.eclipse.org/viewcvs/viewvc.cgi/org.eclipse.gmp/org.eclipse.gmf.runtime/plugins/org.eclipse.gmf.runtime.diagram.ui/src/org/eclipse/gmf/runtime/diagram/ui/menus/PopupMenu.java?view=markup&revision=1.3&root=Modeling_Project) which uses SWT Menus. Hence, I would assume that

editor.bot().menu("Class.field");

would work. This does not find any widget.

With "locate bug closer" I asked for a hint on where to look for what is going wrong.

Sorry, I missed the attachment in original mail. Now I saw it,
understand clearly what you are meaning ;)

> editor.bot().menu("Class.field");

I'd try, with part being the SWTBotGefEditPart you want to right-click:

part.select() or part.click() then

gefEditor.getSWTBotGefViewe().clickContextMenu("Class.field"), or
gefEditor.getSWTBotGefViewe().getCanvas().contextMenu("Class.field").click()

The Canvas is a SWT widget so SWTBotGefFigureCanvas inherits from
AbstractSWTBot.

HTH,

Hi Mickael,

this does not work either. I think the problem is that this menu is not coming from a right click but from the GMF Graphical Node Edit Policy while creating a link. I use the follwing commands to get until the menu is displayed:

Point targetPoint = target.getFigure().getBounds().getCenter();
target.getFigure().translateToAbsolute(targetPoint);
		
editor.activateTool("Role");		
editor.drag(sourceLabel, targetPoint.x(), targetPoint.y());

editor.bot().sleep(1000);
//Try here to click on the presse menu

I printed out all menus that are available via

	editor.bot().menu(editor.bot().activeShell(), new BaseMatcher<MenuItem>() {

			@Override
			public boolean matches(Object item) {
				System.out.println(item.toString());
				return true;
			}

			@Override
			public void describeTo(Description description) {
				// TODO Auto-generated method stub
				
			}
		}, 0);

but this displays all menus except the menu items displayed after creating the connction. Is it possible that these are displayed on a different shell or thread to which SWTBot does not have access?

Hi Mickael,

it is very close. The problem in the bug the context menu is opened by using a palette tool. In my case it is opened by using the connection handles which are displayed when hovering over an edit part. I assume that when solving one of the to problems we get the second problem solved for free.
