Getting text from 'console' tab

[nsajjan]

Hi,
My RCP application, when it builds a project, spits out build result information into the Console tab. Using the WindowTesterPro 4.0.0 and eclipse classic SDK 3.5, I recorded the project creation and build. As a part of the test, I need to read the build output text in the console tab window to determine if the build was successful. Is there any other way that I can extract the build output text from the console tab?

I tried the below code in my recorded .java file but when I playback, it always returns null.

Code: Select all


String buildOutput = new CTabItemLocator("Console").getText(ui);
System.out.println(buildOutput);



Thanks,

Hey there,

In a future release we will provide a dedicated StyledTextLocator that will make this kind of assertion easier. In the meantime, take a look at this snippet. I hope it helps!

Code: Select all

package com.windowtester.test.eclipse;


import static com.windowtester.runtime.swt.locator.eclipse.EclipseLocators.perspective;
import static com.windowtester.runtime.swt.locator.eclipse.EclipseLocators.view;

import org.eclipse.swt.custom.StyledText;

import org.eclipse.ui.IWorkbenchPage;
import org.eclipse.ui.PartInitException;
import org.eclipse.ui.PlatformUI;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsolePlugin;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.IConsole;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.IConsoleManager;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.MessageConsole;
import org.eclipse.ui.console.MessageConsoleStream;

public class ConsoleReadingSmokeTest extends UITestCaseSWT {

   

   private static final String CONSOLE_TEXT = "Hello console!";

   
   /* (non-Javadoc)
    * @see junit.framework.TestCase#setUp()

   @Override
   protected void setUp() throws Exception {
      IUIContext ui = getUI();
      ui.ensureThat(view("Welcome").isClosed());
      ui.ensureThat(perspective("Java").isActive());
      ui.ensureThat(view("Console").isShowing());   
      
   }

   public void testConsole() throws Exception {

      IUIContext ui = getUI();
   
      IWidgetLocator consoleLocator = new SWTWidgetLocator(StyledText.class, new ViewLocator("org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView"));   
      ui.wait(new WidgetShowingCondition(ui, consoleLocator));
      
   
      IWidgetReference consoleRef = (IWidgetReference) ui.find(consoleLocator);
      String text = getText((StyledText)consoleRef.getWidget());
      assertEquals(CONSOLE_TEXT, text.trim());
      
   }


   private String getText(final StyledText widget) {
      final String[] text = new String[1];
      Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable(){

               e.printStackTrace();
               fail(e.getMessage());
            }
         }
      });
   }


   private void writeToConsole() throws PartInitException {
      IWorkbenchPage page = PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getActiveWorkbenchWindow().getActivePage();
      String id = "org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView"; // IConsoleConstants.ID_CONSOLE_VIEW;
      page.showView(id);

      MessageConsole myConsole = findConsole(id);
      MessageConsoleStream out = myConsole.newMessageStream();
      out.println(CONSOLE_TEXT);
   }
   
   
   private MessageConsole findConsole(String name) {
      ConsolePlugin plugin = ConsolePlugin.getDefault();
      IConsoleManager conMan = plugin.getConsoleManager();
      IConsole[] existing = conMan.getConsoles();
      for (int i = 0; i < existing.length; i++)
         if (name.equals(existing[i].getName()))
            return (MessageConsole) existing[i];
      //no console found, so create a new one
      MessageConsole myConsole = new MessageConsole(name, null);
      conMan.addConsoles(new IConsole[] { myConsole });
      return myConsole;
   }
}

Thanks Phil,
I was able to grab the 'console' text by inserting the below piece of code that I found in another thread in this forum:

Code: Select all

        IWidgetReference ref = (IWidgetReference) ui.find(new SWTWidgetLocator(StyledText.class, new ViewLocator("org.eclipse.ui.console.ConsoleView")));
        StyledText text = (StyledText) ref.getWidget();
        String contents = getText(text);

     private String getText(final StyledText text) {
        final String [] contents = new String[1];
        Display.getDefault().syncExec(new Runnable() {
           public void run() {
              contents[0] = text.getText();
           }
        });



Thanks,
NS

Good deal. Thanks for following up!
