a problem while debugging windowtester-generated junit test

[izzetgezer]

Hi,

i am very new to this product. while i am debugging the junit test which is genareted by the recording-tool, sometimes when i click anywhere in the source code in eclipse, my swing application lose focus and my java code becomes dirty.( tool writes in my codes instead of writing in JTextField in my swing application)
can i take any precaution? is it necessary to set up a special debug configuration?

please help, thanks

WindowTester requires the application under test to maintain keyboard focus (and mouse control). This means you cannot interact with the mouse or keyboard during test execution (and not getting undesired effects).

Hope this helps!

You are right but,
with a little difficulties, i saw that debugging is possible. while i am trying to catch the mouse icon, it is runnig away from me. it is mouse , i am cat
Philip can you tell me a way for seeting the abbot Robot.IDLE_TIMEOUT long variable? This protected long variable has no setter in the Robot's class API.
is there a configuration file? thanks a lot

Why do you want to set the timeout?

In any event, it looks like that is set with a system property, like so:

Code: Select all

protected static long IDLE_TIMEOUT = Integer.getInteger("abbot.robot.idle_timeout", 10000).intValue();

[izzetgezer]

protected static long IDLE_TIMEOUT = Integer.getInteger("abbot.robot.idle_timeout", 10000).intValue();

this means that while i am debugging, I have only 10 seconds to watch some variables. after 10 seconds debug stops automatically.I need longer time.
so ı have to change default 10000 value to anather.
one way may be change the above code in Robot.java and recompile this class. i tried it. vut i couldn' succeed.

thanks for your help. i will search this subject further.

hi,

i solved the problem.
i suspend the thread while i am watching the variable. so no timeout exception.
it was quite easy

thanks
