Re: [SWTBot-users] Why SWTBot sometimes does not find widgets by label

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

The earlier implementation just flattens the entire UI hierarchy finds
a widget of a particular type, and starts walking backwards to find a
label. Which does not seem to be the right thing to do, but works in
most cases.

The new implementation does this:

protected boolean doMatch(Object obj) {
	Widget previousWidget = SWTUtils.previousWidget((Widget) obj);
	if ((previousWidget instanceof Label) &&
mnemonicTextMatcher.matches(previousWidget))
		return true;
	return false;
}

Which means that it finds the _immediate previous sibling_ and matches
it for the specified label. Which seems to be the right thing to do,
but does not work in most cases.

Any suggestions to find a middle ground ? I'm thinking along the lines
of making this search fuzzy, which means flatten the hierarchy, but
don't walk backwards all the way to the shell, but stop after say 5
widgets.
