Hyperlink problem

[scshah]

Hi All,

I have hyperlink, which opens new shell. Now I tried to search hyperlink. so the hierarchy that I found is FormText->Hyperlinkgroup -> I am assuming hyperlink must be inside this, but I am not able to go further then Hyperlinkgroup. So can anyone please suggest me something?
I want click on hyperlink.

Thanks

Could you post the contents of the widget hierarchy?

Any easy way to do this is to insert this line into your test and copy the results from the console...

Code: Select all

com.windowtester.swt.util.DebugHelper.printWidgets();

Thanks!

We faced a similar problem and our widget hierarchy could change depending on how our editors were open. Almost all of our Editors in our RCP app have hyperlinks. Our solution to this problem was to use setData method and give the widget an ID.

This is an example of what the recorder would capture after we set IDs:

Code: Select all

ui.click(new NamedWidgetLocator("ProjectEditor.Overview.SkywayServiceLink"));
ui.wait(new ShellShowingCondition("New Skyway Service"));

We have been very successful using NamedWidgetLocator to easily find widgets on the screen without worrying about the hierarchy.

I hope that helps

Thanks for mentioning this Ryan!

Naming widgets is a good convention and a great step to making your application test-friendly.

Hi,

I am again having hyperlink problem. Now this time I can able to get my hperlink. If I print my widget, it shows me {link} <A>Testlink</A>". but if I write code like this :

ui.click(new SWTWidgetLocator(Link.class,"Testlink"));. then it is not working

I also tried :

ui.click(new SWTWidgetLocator(Link.class));

can someone please guide me what I am doing wrong?

Could you attach the stack trace of the failure? Are you finding multiple widgets or none at all? Also, is this a org.eclipse.swt.widgets.Link or a org.eclipse.ui.forms.widgets.Hyperlink you're trying to find?

And when you say this:

Now this time I can able to get my hperlink. If I print my widget, it shows me {link} <A>Testlink</A>

how are you getting the widget? Using a locator or some other means?

Hi Phil,

I had this problem, but then i could find alternative way for the functionality instead of clicking on this link. Thx for your help.

Thanks
