Hi,

Does anybody have a helper class which can be used to drag and drop a TreeItem from one tree to another? If so, can you please share it ?

Thanks,
Mohsin

there is a bug that already has patch for drag and drop support in SWTBot:

285271: Add Drag And Drop support to SWTBot
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=285271

Telling from the bug, there are still issues to solve. But if you're very interested in
the feature, you can apply the patch against HEAD and test the new dragAndDrop methods for
your use case, feedback would be very appreciated.

You can also add yourself to the CC list of the bug to get notified when this features
makes it into SWTBot.

Greetings,

Ralf

Hi Ralf,

First of all, my apologies for the late reply as I was held up with another task.

Secondly, I am actually a QA and I am not quite familiar with the process of applying the patch. So, if it is possible could you please provide me only the class(.class) files which have the DND changes OR guide me through the process of applying the patch?

Thanks,
Mohsin

sorry, applying a patch is a developer task for sure. Basically it means to get the SWTBot
source projects from the repository in your workspace ( see
http://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Contributing ) and to apply the changes from the patch file
using the version control system. But it really only makes sense to try it out and if
you're interested in developing / contributing to SWTBot; I'd never use such
bleeding-edge, unreleased code in actual production test suites.

Hi,

I'll try and put together a HOWTO on the wiki for people wanting to
apply patches. I understand that a lot of people who're not developers
use SWTBot and want to apply patches.

There have been quite a few QAs in the past that have applied patches
very successfully and not had any issues and I'm sure you should be able
to do it just by following instructions.

Hang on, I'll put together something for you.

applying the patch, for sure, I was thinking more about the things that come after that if
you want to use the code for real tests. Like maintaining the forked version and syncing
up with new releases.

Ralf

Hi Ralf,

I am still evaluating the tool and as part of POC I need to write a test which involves dragging and dropping of an item from one tree to another. To do this, even if I get a sample code, it would be more than sufficient for now Smile

Fortunately, it would take another month or two before we start using the tool in our production environment. And I only hope that the code for DnD will be available as part of the release by then.
