testing JTextField.paste()

Question

I want to test JTextField.paste(), however it is not working.

I created a JUnit test with the following code:

JTextField textfield = new JTextField();
textfield.paste();
assertEquals("my text", textfield.getText())

however, textfield.getText() is empty (I copied "my text" to the clipboard, before)

Can you help me?

yeah, sure - where else if you are asking about a unit test ;-) Check if there's really something on the clipboard, f.i. along the lines of @Grove's answer — kleopatra, Sep 17 '13 at 21:53
Cool, it is working. I am not sure what I did wrong, however it works now :-) — matthias, Sep 18 '13 at 07:36

Perhaps you could try forcing the "copy-to-clipboard" operation before pasting the text, as described here
