[JVM] Testing JavaFX or desktop java applications

[Javix]

I wonder if it is possible to test JavaFX or other Java desktop applications with cucumber-jvm ?

Thank you for your ideas and tips if there are any.

You will need a test driver to test the application underneath Cucumber scenario. Cucumber just provides the framework not underneath driver. 

You can look at Franekestiein http://frankenstein.openqa.org/

I wrote a blog a while ago where I use Cucumber-JVM to verify the same
application implemented using six different interfaces. One of them is
a Swing application.
It is available here:
https://thomassundberg.wordpress.com/2012/11/01/cucumber-jvm-not-just-for-testing-guis/

The short answer is however that it is possible to test anything with
Cucumber-JVM as long as you are able to interface against the program
you want to verify. If you need to verify a web application, a tool
like Selenium might help you. If you need to validate a rich Java
client, a tool like FEST may be your friend. If you need to verify a
Web Service, tools like RESTAssured or just implementing a SOAP client
may be your friends.

Cucumber-JVM doesn't care what tools you use to verify something.
Cucumber-JVM is the driver of the requirements that must be fulfilled.

I've just created a simple JavaFX project with some tests with cucumber-jvm and jemmyFX at https://github.com/Javix/hello-javafx-maven. May be one day some will be interested to use that. By the way, on OS X, the first run always fails, because the RobotExecutor is started and it takes some time for launching. As a result, when I simulate typing 'toto' in a textfield, it 'looses' the first letter and types in 'oto'. The RobotExecutor stays running and the second test run is OK. Another 'strange' behaviour is that it (jemmyFX) does not recognise AZERTY keyboard and sees typed in lettres as if I used the QWERTY one. I've never seen that before, nowhere...
