How do you handle Swing Dialog Components with Automaton Framework?

[peterpilgrim]

Hi Renato

I found a reference to your framework through the JavaFX developers list.

Give this sample code that opens a Swing JFrame followed by a custom JDialog compenent, how can you find the dialog component with Automaton?

    JFrame frame;
    Swinger swinger;
    FileLoaderDialog dialog;

    @Before
    public void setup()
    {
        frame = null;
        dialog = null;

        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
            JFrame frame = new JFrame(FileLoaderDialog.class.getSimpleName());
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

            //Add the ubiquitous "Hello World" label.
            frame.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout());
            frame.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Hello World"));

            final JButton openBtn = new JButton("Open Dialog ...");
            openBtn.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_O);
            frame.getContentPane().add(openBtn);

            final JButton quitBtn = new JButton("Quit");
            quitBtn.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_Q);
            frame.getContentPane().add(quitBtn);

            openBtn.addActionListener(e -> {
                dialog = new FileLoaderDialog(null, "Local File Loader Dialog");
                // ....
                System.out.printf("\ndirectory = %s\n", dialog.getDirectoryPath());
            });

            quitBtn.addActionListener(e -> System.out.println("Goodbye"));

            frame.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(600, 400));
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
        });

        swinger = Swinger.forSwingWindow();
    }

    @Test
    public void open_dialog_then_click_confirm()
    {
        swinger.clickOn("text:Open Dialog ...").pause(5000).clickOn("text:Ok").pause(250);
        assertThat(dialog, is(notNullValue()));
    }

The error I see is the following:

Does your framework support modal dialogs? Is there a missing method that searches for the dialog by component name that I need to apply here in the test? Do you have any suggestions?

Thanks in advance

[peterpilgrim]

Sorry I found the answer I was looking for.

The answer is the execute the setRoot(Component)

@Test
    public void open_dialog_then_click_confirm()
    {
        swinger.clickOn("text:Open Dialog ...").pause(1000).setRoot(dialog);
        swinger.clickOn("name:dialogConfirmBtn").pause(250);
        assertThat(dialog, is(notNullValue()));
    }

PS: You might want to add a similar name method to setRoot() like Swinger Swinger.setComponentRoot(Component) that can return this in order to keep the fluent design.

Hi, glad you found a solution. Usually you should create a new Swinger for each frame you have like this:

Swinger swinger = Swinger.getUserWith(dialog);

So you don't need to set root (but you can if you prefer).
