Re: [swtbot-dev] swtbot-dev Digest, Vol 60, Issue 10

Hi Mickael,

Thanks for the reply again. Can you please provide the usage of of unity or any other windows manager in place of metacity? I just wanted to replace the metacity with some other windows manager in linux backend and check if that helps for the swtbot testcases hanging problem in Jenkins.

Best Regards,
Melwyn Jensen.

The Window Manager is necessary to get SWTBot working, especially when
it comes to menus. If you don't have it, some widgets that are generally
delegated to the Window Manger simply won't be accessible.
You can use any Window Manager you know it's working. Some example
include unity (Ubuntu only), twm, fvwm... But metacity or unity are by
far the most usual window managers, so that's why it's recommanded to
use one of them. Metacity is available on almost all Linux distributions.
