Exact item match with TableItemLocator?

[Steffen8708]

Hi,

it's me again. The TableItemLocator seems to look only for a text of a table item in one column. If not, how can i specify the texts of each column separately? The problem is that if i want to test for visibility of a table item with text "some" in column 1 and "letters" in column 2 using

TableItemLocator("some", new ColumnLocator(1)) and
TableItemLocator("letters", new ColumnLocator(2))

the test will also pass if two table items exist with the same text but just one column filled per item (e.g. item 1 has "some" in column 1 and item 2 has "letters" in column 2). This is not the desired behaviour. Any ideas to manage this?

I think deriving the TableItemLocator and overriding the matches method to match only table items with all columns compared to reference strings works fine. But a locator from Window Tester would be better.

Thanks for posting this.

Another alternative would be to play with the new TableCellLocator:

Note that composition is a bit different with this locator. For example here is how you would specify a view component:

Code: Select all

new TableCellLocator("myRow", "myColumn).in(new VIewLocator("my.view");

Hope this helps!

I think this helps if I want to test for table items in a given row and their columns. Surely, I will need this for the future. But my "solution" mentioned in the first reply is sufficient for my problem.

Thanks for the reference to TableCellLocator,

Great. Let us know how it goes. We're always happy to help.

How could I test that a table is empty?

I know that I could get a widget reference from the tableLocator and then use the SWT api but I would prefer to use the WindowTester api...

Thanks

Maybe something like this?:

Code: Select all

IWidgetLocator items[] = ui.findAll(new TableItemLocator(".*"));
assertEquals(0, items.length);
