Re: [abbot-users] Exception while loading classes

[Fabian N. <fab...@er...>]

Hi

  After having just started with abbot, I made a short test script that 
pushes some buttons in my GUI under test. Sometimes I get an error 
indicating that a specific button cannot be found. I guess the problem 
is that the button has no label on it and its ID has changed over time, 
so that abbot cannot find the button any more.

  I cannot add a label to the button because there is just an icon on 
it. But, is it not possible to identify a button by its tooltip-text, 
or, even better, by the hierarchy it lies in?

  For example: Is it possible to say something like: Click("the JButton 
that is nested inside a JTestField with name 'SomeName'")? That would be 
very nice and help me out of some trouble...

  Thanks in advance,
Fabian
