We meet the following problem. In case we try to excute our automated test suite unde Jenkins management we receive java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError in test that work with keyboard. Executing tests unde Jenkins control means that SWTBot in headless mode. Our target platform is Windows 10. According to SWTBot developer notes the headless mode is not tested under windows. We use SWTBot version 2.2.1. In case we execute SWTBot test suite on remote vitual machine without Jenkins. This issue is not observed. Also our investigation show us that this issue can be reproduced on local machine in case keyboard layout is not found. So, I suppose the root cause of this issue is missing physical keyboard in this case. Also we take into consideration java.lang.ExceptionInInitializerError says us that something wrong occures in initialization static variables

My investigation demonstrated that this issue is occured when test tries to push a key. Partially this problem can be resolved by using setText method instead of typeText. But we have set of tests that verify processing of keyboard combination like Alt+A or pushing Enter for example.

The application under testing is Eclipse RCP application that based on very old Eclipse platform (version 3.6)

Please post the full stack trace. An `ExceptionInInitializer` means that there was an exception in a static or class initializer. A simple "swtbot ExceptionInInitializerError" produces a number of discussions of different causes.

By the way I found a recomendation set keyboard layout in command line, something like : -Duser.language=en -Duser.region=US. Is it correct way?

Hi Alex,

This line: at org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.keyboard.KeyboardLayout.getKeyboardLayout(KeyboardLayout.java:89) is:

throw new IllegalArgumentException(layoutName + ".keyboard not found, see http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Keyboard_Layouts for more information.");

It would seem that the keyboard autodetected at runtime is not found. I see only EN_US, FR_FR and DE_DE keyboards built-in the plug-in.

In our tests we usually add this line in the initialization code of tests that use the keyboard, it makes the test immune to the user's locale:

SWTBotPreferences.KEYBOARD_LAYOUT = "EN_US";

From command line you could also try -Dorg.eclipse.swtbot.keyboard.layout=EN_US

Setting the language and region of the locale system property might work too. Let us know ;)

Patrick

By the way one question. Our framework works correctly on real machine with physical keyboard without this prefernce, But does not work in headless mode. What is the reason of this behaviour?
