[AGR] Verification hooks in position based recording [message #66761]

Hello.

I am testing behaviour related to inserting text in a StyledText
component which contains multiple lines of text. The StyledText accepts
both plain text and a predefined block of text that the user has
selected. I need to test that predefined blocks of text are inserted in
the correct location and that the current position of the caret is as
expected (i.e. at the end of the block).

Furthermore, since these blocks of text are not editable internally, I
need to perform various tests related to 1) the caret jumping from one
end of the block to the other when the user attempts to enter the block
region and 2) a selection in the text spanning the whole of the block
when the user attempts to select only part of it.

I assume that, for this type of test, I need to use position based
recording.

However, when I try to insert a verification point in position based
recording mode to check, say, the caret offset, I invariably get an
error message in the Control Centre Dialog stating "The event type is
not of type SWT.FocusIn".

What am I doing wrong?

TIA
B.

Why do you need position based recording enabled when inserting the
verification hook?
Can't you turn it off before inserting the hook?
You can file a bugzilla for this issue. This is likely caused because of
the order of events that is expected when a verification hook is inserted.
Position-based recording is likely affecting the ordering of the incoming
events.

Yes, I figured that out while playing with things during the weekend.

I guess the most important thing I was looking for in this email was to
verify that I indeed need partial position based recording to perform
the kind of tests I need to perform; I think you implicitly answered
that I do.

I am not quite clear on this suggestion. If it should be possible to
insert verification hooks in position based recording, I will file the
bug. But if the trick you mention at the beginning of your email is
standard operating procedure, then I am satisfied. Please let me know.

Thank you very much, Ali, for your prompt and excellent help.

No, that's not standard procedure (I wasn't aware of the problem until this
post). Please go ahead with filing the defect.

Thanks.
