Can't access Console view? [message #507877]

The following always fails with a WidgetNotFoundException:

SWTBotView consoleView= bot.viewByTitle("Console");

even when I can see that the Console view is visible when this
query executes.

Is this the wrong way of getting at the Console?

Seems to work for me. Do you have a stack trace to help diagnose ?

Here's my test. I'm opening the console view programatically the first
time, but that should not matter.

@Test
public void canOpenConsoleView() throws Exception {
syncExec(new VoidResult() {

public void run() {
try {

PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActi vePage().showView( "org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView");
} catch (PartInitException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
bot.viewByTitle("Problems").show();
bot.viewByTitle("Console").show();
}

Ok, this is weird - it's working now, every time. I don't know what
was wrong.

Anyway, sorry for the false alarm.
