Problem with ensuring that a perspective is active?

[jluebker]

Hello,

I created a convenience method that made use WT APIs to ensure that an Eclipse perspective was open. I noticed that if I called it several times specifying different perspective names that instead of the perspective changing a new window was opened for each call with the specified perspective being active. I am using version 3.9.0 of WT for Eclipse 3.3. Is this possibly a bug?

Code: Select all

public static void openPerspective(IUIContext ui, String name) throws Exception {
      ui.ensureThat(perspective(name).isActive());
   }


Thanks,
Joe

Hmmmm.... This does sound like a potential bug. Could you send a report to support?

wintest-support@instantiations.com

If you have a testcase that we can use to repro the issue, that'd be great too.

Thanks!

I filed a report to wintestsupport and included a test case.
