Extra space needed in name to find a menu item [message #31525]

Hi Ketan.

We are experiencing some strange behaviour when we try to find a menu item
in the "Edit" menu in the main menu. On my machine the following lines of
code works fine:

final SWTBotMenu editMenu = bot.menu("Edit");
editMenu.menu("Undo").click();

However, this code throws a "WidgetNotFoundException" on my colleagues
machine. He needs to add an extra space in the name of the undo menu item.
Like this:

final SWTBotMenu editMenu = bot.menu("Edit");
editMenu.menu("Undo ").click();

Of course this now throws a "WidgetNotFoundException" on my machine. We are
both running on the same version of Eclipse (3.4.2) with the same version of
SWTBot (2.0.0.204-dev).

What are we doing wrong?

Best regards,
Anders

Hi Anders,

Not sure what's wrong. Perhaps turning on logging[1] will print you
detailed level information about the widgets swtbot finds, and the ones
it matches.

Looking at the WithMnemonic matcher[2], which is used to match the text
on menu items, it does not seem to do any trimming of strings that could
mess things up.

As the undo action is a retarget action it allows for setting the label
dynamically to the operation. I would guess you clicked two different
operations one having an additional label and the other has not.

Maybe it is a starting point for you to dig in.
