I'm using WindowTester to automate testing of an Eclipse RCP application. When I try to automate menu interaction like this:
IUIContext ui = getUI();
ui.click(new MenuItemLocator("Window/Show View/My View"));
I get an exception.
com.windowtester.runtime.WidgetNotFoundException: No menubar found for active shell
The menubar exists, of course. It is created by Eclipse. I contribute to it via an extension point under org.eclipse.ui.commands.
How can I automate interaction with these menu items?
The test thread is getting ahead of the UI thread. The menubar doesn't yet exist when the
MenuItemLocator
looks for it. Add a delay to ensure that the application has finished initializing before starting the test.
