I meant it depends on what you want to test inside the app. If its a simple logic test, you should be good with JUnit. For UI test, you can have a look at TestFX.

@jkbbwr I really need to try this out on my app!

Whoops sorry, what I meant to say, what is the difference in declaring an imageview here:

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 2:39 AM

imageview("/homepage_icons/HomeIcon_Search.png")

Within the datagrid, you set a cellFormat which is basically how each cell in the datagrid should look

I should specify my issue: imageview seems to have a receiver mismatch in the first example. No issue in the second.

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

could it be that I need to wrap imageview in a graphic?

abhinay

01/17/2018, 2:51 AM

Oh no!

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 2:51 AM

i wouldn't think so. The thing is, both images both come from resources, just different folders in resources

graphic is a property of

DataGridCell

. It has nothing to do with an ImageView.

hmmmmmmmmmm okay I'll keep playing around - I can feel it in my gut it's something stupid

I can't seem to get ScrollPane to work. Does this make sense at all? Should I use

content =

add(..)

? It is not showing the scrollbar.

Copy code

class MyView : View() {
    override val root = scrollpane {

        hbarPolicy = ScrollBarPolicy.ALWAYS       

        content = someContent
    }
}

@poohbar the entire scrollpane itself?

poohbar

01/17/2018, 3:03 AM

it's displaying

someContent

but no scrollbar

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 3:04 AM

scrollpane doesn't have a lot of documentation. What kind of content are you working with?

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 3:05 AM

My initial thought is that perhaps your scrollpane is setting the size to the size of your

someContent

, so maybe there isn't a need for a scroll

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 3:05 AM

what if you set a specific width/height that you know is smaller?

poohbar

01/17/2018, 3:06 AM

i tried different content and it worked so it's something about my content thats throwing it off, thanks

@amanda.hinchman-dominguez wondering how are you exactly using the

imageview

abhinay

01/17/2018, 3:10 AM

Copy code

class MyView : View() {
    override val root = scrollpane {
        hbarPolicy = ScrollPane.ScrollBarPolicy.ALWAYS
        content = imageview("<http://i.imgur.com/bvqTBT0b.jpg>")
    }
}

Something as simple as this just works

Imageview is very easy with any url!

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 3:11 AM

My image is coming locally from the resource file

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 3:11 AM

What I do know is that if an image is placed in the resource file (which is placed under the main file), you can access the image simply as "image.png"

amanda.hinchman-dominguez

01/17/2018, 3:12 AM

What I don't know is why it doesn't work in the format I'm using right now
