[swtbot-dev] [GEF] Why using UIThreadRunnable.asyncExec and not syncExec

[Mickael Istria <mickael.istria@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I recently met some troubles with some SWTBot GEF tests. Indeed, it happens that some events are not handled early enough for my test to succeed. There are for sure things that I could improve in my test to get them green, but I prefered digging in the SWTBotFigureCanvas code to see how it works ;)
I noticed the use of asyncExec to give events to dispatcher, and async is ofter something difficult to manage in tests. Why not using a synchronous execution?

Regards,
