"AWT Robot" or "Posting AWT Events to an EventQueue"

[david amiel]

With some of my test "posting awt events to an EventQueue" doesn't
work:

my code:
robot = RobotFixture.robotWithNewAwtHierarchy();
robot.settings().eventMode(EventMode.AWT);
windows = new FrameFixture( robot,getMainFrame());

windows.menuItem(new GenericTypeMatcher<JMenu>() {
@Override
protected boolean isMatching(JMenu button) {
return "Test".equals(button.getText());
}
}).doubleClick();


When i used "robot = RobotFixture.robotWithCurrentAwtHierarchy()" it
works.


Do you have any idea?

Hi David,

I don't think the problem is in the "event posting". It seems that the problem is in 'robotWithNewAwtHierarchy'. I'm going to file a bug. Can you please post the code of the frame you are testing? That would help us a lot! :)

Thanks!

It's quite complicated for me to post this test because its testing a
quite big application.

But i will try to repeat this bug in a test application and will send
you my code (ASAP).

Thanks,

Many thanks David! I'll try to reproduce the bug on my computer too.

Sorry i cant reproduce this bug in a quick example.

But if you made some try you will see that there is some strange
comportment with "robotWithNewAwtHierarchy" ...

In fact, it's a blocking problem for me because i launch my test on a
VM windows and just posting awt events to an EventQueue works.

I cant understand why sometime it cant see that there is a hierarchy
of components ; it just see the main frame. (cf log first message)

Thanks,

Hi Daniel,

I started to work on this issue and I don't think it is a bug (at least so far.)

What I think it is going on is that you instantiate the frame before creating the robot using 'robotWithNewAWTHierarchy'. That robot will only see GUI components created after it. In your code I see a call to 'getMainFrame()', but I don't know if you are instantiating the frame there or if it is only a getter to an already instantiated frame.

Thanks,
-Alex
