Poll delay [message #33844]

Hi there,

I'm using the following code:

bot.waitUntil(bot.shellCloses("xx"));

The problem I have with my application is that the shell "xx" only appears
for less than a second. This makes the SWTBot difficult to detect the
existence of the shell because I know the default polling delay value is
500 milliseconds. Is it possible to reduce that value ? It seems in 2.0,
the parameter for specifying the polling delay value is gone.

The poll delay is kept at 500 ms to allow for breathing room. If the
poll delay is any lower SWTBot will be taking up too many cycles on the
UI thread for it to be able to do much.

File a bug report and I'll take a look at parametrization of the poll delay.

As a workaround you can do a bot.waitUntil(shellIsActive("other shell"))
if you know what shell becomes active after your shell closes.
