Hi!
I'm currently using TestFX to build automated GUI tests. It has been going quite well and the framework seems solid. There is however a problem I have been unable to solve.

I use a TableView to display data from a database and would like to automate clicking certain rows in the table. I've been at this for a while now, but there doesn't seem to be a way for the FxRobot to retrieve the location of individual rows, only the table itself.

I am very new to both JavaFX and GUI testing in general, am I missing something here? Or is it just not possible?

Hi Otto,

If you assign an unique id to each cell from the cell factory (see http://code.makery.ch/blog/javafx-8-tableview-cell-renderer/), you ought to be able to click it using the standard TestFX click-by-id, no?
