| [linuxtools-dev] Failing SWTBot test on Hudson |
Hello, I have spent some time investigating one of our SWTBot tests failing on eclipse.org's Hudson (see change 25455 [1]). Strangely, after opening one of the dialogs, SWTBot can't find anything and nothing is in focus. However, I have seen in the SWTBot wiki [2] that metacity is the recommended window manager. If I change the shell script in the Hudson configuration to use metacity then it works correctly. I think Hudson is using either fvwm (according to discussion in bug 314811 [3]) or KDE 3 (looking at printed environment variables). If there are objections, I will change the Hudson jobs to use metacity. This will let us run those tests again on Hudson. The command in question is: metacity --replace --sm-disable & It is also used by EGit in their Hudson jobs.
