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

[Ketan P. <ket...@gm...>]

Hi Somesh,


The reason why this fails is two fold:
1. Running JUnit plugin tests run in the UI thread. SWTBot should  
'ideally' be run in non-UI thread.
2. The New Java project dialog (like most others) is a blocking dialog  
and blocks tests because they run in the UI thread.

The trick here is to run the test as a SWTBot test-case. There's a  
right click option under in order to be able to do this. The launcher  
ensures that the tests run in a non-UI thread.

Also you could extend from SWTBotTestCase which is part of 1.0. You  
will get some new assertions and a bunch of cool features if you  
subclass from SWTBotTestCase. Watch out for 1.1 which should be out  
this or next weekend :)

Documentation is bad, I agree! It's a one man army and I can only do  
so much. Do feel free to add stuff to the Wiki if you feel to.

PS: You need to subscribe to the mailing list in order to post.
