Hello,

I am getting started with creating some tests using SWTBot. While
executing very simple test I noticed the following debug message.

08 Dec 2008 17:19:47.078 - Workbench Test Thread - DEBUG -
SWTBotButton - (SWTBotButton.java:45) - Clicking on Button
{*Wrong Thread*}

My test method is very simple

public void test()
{
bot.menu("Run").menu("Open Run Dialog...").click();
bot.button("Close").click();
}

A bit of background: In my test environment we have a test suite class
that extends the JUnit TestSuite class. We have overridden the run()
method so that we can output messages before testing starts and run the
tests in a separate thread (avoiding deadlocks while testing some parts
of the UI).

What is causing SWTBot to indicate that the SWT operation occurred on a
wrong thread? Is there something with this test environment that is
causing issues for SWTBot?

I did experiment with wrapping the SWTBot calls in syncExecs but seemed
to get unexpected behavior, a hang in one case in a shell's event
dispatcher. I need to experiment with this more but figured I should
first ask what is the correct approach in this situation.

Thanks,
Joe

This is really not failure issue, but it's a "bug" in the following log
statement in the click method of SWTBotButton:
log.debug(MessageFormat.format("Clicking on {0}", widget));

Notice that MessageFormat's format is going to call toString method of
widget, which is going to happen on non-ui thread. So it will print the
message you see. Maybe is should use SWTUtils.getText(widget) instead of
passing widget only.

Thanks Ketan. Is there a defect reported against this? The logging
output in this case can misdirect someone trying to debug (using logging
output) how SWTBot is executing tests.

Joe,

There is no defect, please log a defect for any such anomalies you see.
I'm sure there are many.

Thanks.
