SWTBOT - WINDOWS - Jenkins - Eclipse losing focus [message #968952]

I configured Jenkins to run SWTBOT tests periodically i.e. Jenkins automatically runs tests twice a day.

When i execute tests manually everything works fine.
However if tests are initiated from Jenkins timer i am seeing 30% failures with error saying
"Widget is null or Could not find wizard or Widget is disposed".

So it is clear that these errors are occurring since eclipse is losing focus , does any one has any idea on how to keep eclipse active during test runs?

Hi,

If you are running Jenkins from windows, do not run jenkins as a windows service.

This will solve your issues.

Thanks, I've added a note to documentation to help future users:

When I run Jenkins standalone, an instance of Eclipse will pop up during the swtbot test while nothing will pop if Jenkins is started as a service. Something having to do with the display is different in the service scenario, but I don't see how you can deduct that it has to do with focus.

In my case, nearly all my tests run just fine when Jenkins is started as a service, except the following code:

...
SWTBotTreeItemExtension readSchemaProperty = 
  new SWTBotTreeItemExtension(readProperties.getTreeItem("Schema").widget, readProperties.widget);
readSchemaProperty.click(1);
readSchemaProperty.click(1);
readSchemaProperty.pressShortcut(Keystrokes.DOWN);
...

It's the only place in my tests where I use Keystrokes, so that might be it. And I must admit that keystrokes wouldn't work if the respective view lost focus, but is this really the issue here? And if it is, is there any other workaround than running Jenkins as a standalone application?

I think this issue youy have is not related to focus, at in case of lost
focus, even the .click() would fail.
Does this test run well on your local development machine?
