In my efforts I need to graduated to the more subtler forms of swtbot -
selecting trees and context menus. It is here that I am encountering a
learning wall.
To help I have search for online Javadocs so I can look at these and
print out some of them, but I could not find them. Where can I find
these published.
Second question is about snippets. I see a simple one at:
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Snippets
But are there any more advanced snippets for context menus and tree
selections?
Thanks again for the fine tool,
John

Hi John,
I'm glad that you like SWTBot.
If you're looking for examples on using SWTBot. I'd say that the SWTBot
tests are the best way to go around.
You can download the tests by pointing subversion to the test plugin
url:http://dev.eclipse.org/svnroot/technology/org.eclipse.sw tbot/trunk/org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.test/
As the author of SWTBot, I'm biased towards saying that SWTBot is too
simple to need documentation more than the simple "getting started
guide". That however is not an excuse to not improve documentation :)
If you have any examples of what kind of things you want to see as part
of the snippets page, please drop in a note, and I'll do my best -- no
promises here. I'm the only committer working on swtbot, and this is not
my day job. Better yet, add your own snippet with a screenshot of the UI :)

Very much! We needed this.

I downloaded this test and reviewed all the tests associated with (and
ran them) the org.eclipse.swtbot.eclipse.finder.AllTests class.
This was helpful. Besides the getting started guides, and the other
references noted on the site and wiki, I read the latest article
mentioned a couple of days ago on the news list:
http://www.ralfebert.de/articles/swtbot/
This was also good as I just needed a little snip to see how to deal
with contexts:
SWTBotTable table = bot.viewByTitle("Adressen").bot().table();
table.select("Heike Winkler", "Marion Graf");
table.contextMenu("Adresse öffnen").click();

Yes, but I think a couple of more snippets should be all one needs.
How about the Javadoc, is it available on the website somewhere?

Would you want this submitted as a bugzilla?
thanks again,
John

Yes the javadoc is available on the website (also available as a
download) [1]. The link is not provided on the download page and I'll
fix this shortly. The source for swtbot is also included in the binaries
so you can view the javadoc for something particular in the ide itself.
I should also investigate providing swtbot help (and snippets) as part
of the eclipse help system.

That should help new folks like me find their way.

Yes I have been do this, but it is nice to have it all together for
hyper navigating.

That would be the best. I don't think you need much more content, just
a few more snippets to the user guide to point out the salient features.
I've used docbook to do both in my projects:

Okay but I expect what I put up may require review and revision by adults;-)
I have been leveraging (subclassing) the PageObject classes submitted by
Kay-Uwe Graw in https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=280641
would something like that be useful as higher level snippets?
cheers,
John
