Click with tab item locator does not work sometimes

[Steffen8708]

Since upgraded from 3.6 to version 4.0, the (c)tab item clicks do not work sometimes (maybe one of three fail to click). Any idea why? No exception or assertion failure is thrown. No console output or error log is made.

Best regards,
Steffen

Another thing that is not working since the upgrade: TableItemLocator.isSelected fails although the corresponding screen capture shows the selected element!

By the way, I'm using Eclipse 3.2 and Jave 5.

We are not seeing any regressions in our CTabItem tests. Could you help us characterize the issue? Does it happen in the same place? Could you post the snippet that is failing and tell us how it is failing? That is, is it failing to click? Is it failing to find?

Thanks!

Unfortunately, I can't reproduce it specific to the problem mentioned. But it seems to be a more general problem that WT is somehow to fast with its clicks. I'm having the following situation: firstly, a click on the CTabItem of a view is made to activate it. Then immediately after that a double-click is made on a tree item in a tree contained in the view. Unexpectedly, this maximizes the view (I tried several times, always the same). And if I specify a playback delay for widget clicks of 100ms via preferences this issue does not occur. Any idea? Or is it normal to set such a delay?

Code: Select all

ui.click(new CTabItemLocator("Visualization"));
ui.click(2, new TreeItemLocator("Filters/" + filterName, new ViewLocator(
      UITestConstants.VISUALISATION_VIEW_ID)));

Interesting. It looks like the view is not totally materialized before we interact with it. A few things that might bullet-proof your test:

1. Try:

Code: Select all

ui.ensureThat(new ViewLocator(UITestConstants.VISUALISATION_VIEW_ID).isActive());
ui.click(2, new TreeItemLocator("Filters/" + filterName, new ViewLocator(
      UITestConstants.VISUALISATION_VIEW_ID)));

2. Or alternatively,

Code: Select all

ui.click(new CTabItemLocator("Visualization"));
ui.wait(new ViewLocator(UITestConstants.VISUALISATION_VIEW_ID).isActive());
ui.click(2, new TreeItemLocator("Filters/" + filterName, new ViewLocator(
      UITestConstants.VISUALISATION_VIEW_ID)));

Oh and BTW, what OS are you using?

Let us know how it goes!

OS is Windows Server 2003. Using the Eclipse mechanism for activating the view does work (I think the ensureThat method does this, too?) for my problem.

Hi Steffen,

Yes, using a ViewLocator within an ensureThat, uses the same mechanism.

Does this get you unblocked?

[Steffen8708]

Yes

Great, thanks! Let us know if you have any other insights or have other issues.
