I am wondering weather it is possible to reach tree elements in a Java RCP-Client which display a file system by using googles windowtester pro.

The tree (swt widget) shows my local file system (C:\Users...) much like the windows explorer (or TotalCommander, etc...).

Now I want to click the element

C:\Users\me\Folder\file1.txt

After recording, windowtester tells me to do the folliwing:

ui.click(new TreeItemLocator( "C:\/Users/me/Folder/file1.txt", new ViewLocator( de.zeb.control.fw.vfs.pl.rcp.client.views.FileBrowserView" ));

But executing this code I get the error:

No tree items found for 'C:/Users' - wait then try again."

I also tried:

"C:/Users/me/Folder/file1.txt"

"\C:\/Users/me/Folder/file1.txt"

"C:\\/Users\/me\/Folder\/file1.txt"

And various combinations, none of which seem to work.

Does anyone have an idea here?

Regards!

Unfortunately escaping slashes is still a pain in WindowTester.

You have to look very carefully at the error message:

No tree items found for 'C:/Users' - wait then try again."

Compare this with the string given in the TreeItemLocator:

"C:\/Users/me/Folder/file1.txt"

Escaping the first slash obviously worked, but not the second one. So every forward slash needs to be prefixed with a backward slash. The correct string should then be:

"C:\/Users\/me\/Folder\/file1.txt"
