[abbot-users] Why JTextComponentTester.actionEnterText does not trigger listeners registered for some JTextField?

[Chen, M. <Min...@bm...>]

Hi there,

                I am testing a Swing panel using abbot. In this Swing panel, there are two JTextField, when user typed something into JTextField 1, JTextField 2 will be automatically populated with value of JTextField 1. However, if I used JTextComponentTester.actionEnterText(JTextField1, value), I can see from playback that value is not set to JTextField2, obviously listener registered in JTextField1 is not triggered by abbot tester, and I don't understand why? Posting key event from abbot is different from user keyboard actions? Strangely, I also noticed that if I add the following call after actionEnterText, JTextField2 will be populated with right value:

actionActionMap(c, DefaultEditorKit.selectAllAction);

Has somebody experienced similar issues here? Thanks.
