How to differentiate between menu entries with the same name [message #1774087]

In our eclipse based application there exists a menu entry "Find References" for most editors. However this entry alreadys exists in the Xtend editor so now there are two entries with the same name.

Is there any way to specifically select one or the other when using the RCP Testing Tool? Using "get-menu -path "Find References" | click" will click on the first entry and so far I haven't found a way to select the other "Find Reference" entry.

Hi Kim,

You can use

get-menu -path "Find References" -index 1 | click

to select a second one.

You can also use -after parameter to indicate the element after which the required menu item presents.

Kind regards,
Ulyana.

Hi Ulyana,

thanks for your quick answer. Unfortunately did your suggestion not work.
I tried using -index and also -after. However regardless of index it would always select the first "Find References" while -after "Find References" produced an error while running. Isn't there another way?
To be clear, here's a screenshot of the issue:

Kind regards,

Hi Kim,

Sorry for misleading you. 'after' parameter is not supported by 'get-menu' command, so it produces the error.
We've added support for 'index' parameter for 'get-menu' command, so items with non-unique names will be recorded with indexes and replayed correctly.
Please, try with the latest nightly build: https://eclipse.org/rcptt/download/
