Re: [swtbot-dev] Who actually runs SWTBot test on hudson.eclipse.org?

Thanks a lot folks!
Everything goes better with a Window Manager started.

However, I still have a different behavior using Xvnc + metacity rather than with my Ubuntu 10.10 Gnome 2.x; or my IC server Ubuntu 11.10 Unity.
Here are a list of failing tests over Xvnc/metacity that work well in other situations.

"

Failed tests:   typesTextAtALocation(org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotStyledTextTest): 
  typeAndVerifiesTextInCombo(org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotComboTest): expected:<New type[d Text]> but was:<New type[]>

Tests in error: 
  clicksOnALink(org.eclipse.swtbot.swt.finder.widgets.SWTBotLinkTest): Timeout after: 5000 ms.: 

"

Both failed tests just fail when typing a "d" (of "--- Type[d text ---]", or "New Type[d text]"). Letters before the "d" are displayed, but no one more starting for the "d". Does anyone have an idea?

I believe there's EGit and mylyn that use SWTBot for testing, I'm not
sure if they actually run the tests on hudson.eclipse.org.

Yes EGit is using SWTBot to run UI tests and we also run them on hudson.eclipse.org.

You need to switch on XVnc and start a window manager before running the UI tests.

We do that in a shell build step immediately before the UI tests are started:

# ui tests need a window manager

metacity --replace --sm-disable &

We made the experience that some of the UI tests are brittle. Looks like this is caused

by asynchronous things happening in background jobs.
