SWTBot Could not find node with text: Dynamic Web Project

Question

I am using the SWTBot recorder to test a very simple feature. I just want to create a Dynamic Web Project and then delete it. But it won't even create the project. Why is it blowing up here?

Here is the code that the recorder generated:

@RunWith(SWTBotJunit4ClassRunner.class)
public class TestSwtBot {

private static SWTWorkbenchBot bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot();

@Test
public void test() {        
     bot.menu("File").menu("New").menu("Other...").click();
     bot.tree().getTreeItem("Web").getNode("Dynamic Web Project").select();
     bot.textWithLabel("Project na&me:").setText("TestDynamicProject");
     bot.button("Next >").click();
     bot.button("Next >").click();
     bot.checkBox("Generate web.xml deployment descriptor").click();
     bot.button("Finish").click();
     bot.button("No").click();
     bot.checkBox("Delete project contents on disk (cannot be undone)").click();
     bot.button("OK").click();
}

So it is blowing up on this line:

bot.tree().getTreeItem("Web").getNode("Dynamic Web Project").select();

And here is the stacktrace:

Answer 1

You need to expand the "Web" tree item first.

bot.tree().getTreeItem("Web").expand();
bot.tree().getTreeItem("Web").getNode("Dynamic Web Project").select();

Answer 2

did you use Eclipse Spy to see if your calling the correct tree?, I mean, in this part of your code: bot.tree() you can call differents trees by their index, for example bot.tree(0) or bot.tree(1) maybe is looking for your node in another tree.
