[SWTBot-users] problem with running swt bot in eclipse

[Somesh S. <som...@gm...>]

Hi Ketan,
you probably don't remember me but we had lunch on the first day at
EclipseCon 2008.
Anyhow, I am trying to use SWT Bot to test a plugin that we have written.

I am trying to invoke a wizard and type stuff in it and press finish.
It opens up the wizard but hangs in menu.click(); and therefore I can't seem
to continue.

I  tried creating a test case to invoke the standard java project wizard
here is the some sample code that i tried but it didn't work

added a file in a fresh plugin project


import org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Widget;

import net.sf.swtbot.SWTBot;
import net.sf.swtbot.SWTBotTestCase;
import net.sf.swtbot.eclipse.finder.SWTEclipseBot;
import net.sf.swtbot.widgets.SWTBotMenu;
import net.sf.swtbot.widgets.SWTBotShell;
import net.sf.swtbot.widgets.TimeoutException;
import net.sf.swtbot.widgets.WidgetNotFoundException;

public class test extends TestCase{

    public void testProjectInvoke() throws WidgetNotFoundException{
        SWTEclipseBot bot = new SWTEclipseBot();
        bot.menu("File").menu("New").menu("Java Project").click();
        try {
            bot.shell("New Java Project").activate();
            bot.textWithLabel("Project name:").setText("MyProject");
            bot.button("Finish").click();
        } catch (TimeoutException e) {
            // TODO Auto-generated catch block
            e.printStackTrace();
        }



    }

}

ran this as a Junit-Plugin Test

on running this target, a target Eclipse sdk.ide is launched, the wizard
shows up and hangs.

I tried to debug and it seems that it doesn't come out of line 212 in
AbstractSWTBot.java ( widget.notifyListeners(...) );

Any help is appreciated.

Also, I struggled to find some examples with testing Eclipse Plugins. It'd
be nice to have some test samples around on the wiki. I do not want to go
the record and play way but want to write tests just like i would write a
junit test.

Thanks in advance.
