Hello,

I have problem to pass some of my tests in case swtbot runs headlessly. I 'm testing RCP application written in E4. I'm using Jenkins for building tests (not installed as service) I'm also using Tycho and Maven. Tests are running on Windows 7 platform which is running virtually in VMWare. In case I trying to run tests in Eclipse IDE, tests passed OK. Even if I remotely watch desktop of running test in virtual Windows, I can see how swtbot works and tests passed OK. Problem occurs, If I close remote desktop connection. In this case all tests, which are probably using Keybord class fails.

I e.g. tried following variants of pressing shortcuts.

@Test
public void testOpeningFileViewerByEnterButton() {
   	        explorerNavigator.expandPath("swtbot [2]/příliš žluťoučký kůň.txt");
		Keyboard key = KeyboardFactory.getSWTKeyboard();
		key.pressShortcut(Keystrokes.CR);
		checkFileViewerIsOpened();
	}

@Test
public void testOpeningFileViewerByEnterButton2() {
		explorerNavigator.expandPath("swtbot [2]/příliš žluťoučký kůň.txt");
		bot.tree().pressShortcut(SWT.NONE, '\n');
		checkFileViewerIsOpened();
	}

@Test
public void testOpeningFileViewerByEnterButton3() {
		final SWTBotTreeItem item = explorerNavigator
				.expandPath("swtbot [2]/příliš žluťoučký kůň.txt");
		item.select();
		item.pressShortcut(SWT.NONE, '\n');
		checkFileViewerIsOpened();
	}

@Test
public void testOpeningFileViewerByEnterButton4() {
		final SWTBotTreeItem item = explorerNavigator
				.expandPath("swtbot [2]/příliš žluťoučký kůň.txt");
		item.select();
		item.pressShortcut(SWT.CR, SWT.LF);
		checkFileViewerIsOpened();
	}

first variant of test fail with this stacktrace

Error Message
assertion failed: Could not post keyevent.
Stacktrace
org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.exceptions.AssertionFailedException: assertion failed: Could not post keyevent.

other three variants tests just do not press shortcut and fails inside my check method checkFileViewerIsOpened();

Also

bot.text("foo").typeText("text");

doesn't work similary for me. If I can watch remotely desktop, it works. If I close remote connection, tests going to fail, because it just doesn't insert text into field at all. I think It could has relationship with above problems, because it internally works with Keyboard class.

I'm setting keyboard layout in before class

	@BeforeClass
	public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
		bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot();
		perspectiveToolbarNavigator.switchHDFSPerspective();
		explorerNavigator = new ExplorerNavigator(bot.tree());
		
		SWTBotPreferences.KEYBOARD_LAYOUT = "EN_US";
         }

This is part of my pom.xml. I'm setting useUIHarness=true (otherwise it doesn't work at all) and useUIThread=false

I read lot of manuals, forums, googled for solving problem. I spent really lot of time to solve this, but I was unable to fix this problem so far. Could anyone please help me. I would really be happy if I could test shortcuts in my night test builds without remote desktop connection. I can provide more information if you ask, but now I don't know what exactly could help. I think it could be more configuration problem than anything else.

Thanks for any advice
