you can also use the text of

Labeled

nodes. if a button has the text "submit" you can use

robot.clickOn("submit")

. you can also use `Label`s that define the

labelFor

property.

@User uploaded a file:

ah you are using fxml?

I can imagine to also add a feature to use

robot.clickOn(q("Zip/City").nth(2)).write("New York")

this is an example from https://github.com/edvin/tornadofx/wiki/Forms. I thought TornadoFX forms might define

labelFor

for the Field/TextField pairs.

field as shown in the builder example is a pane, it does not have a labelFor

maybe

robot.clickOn(lookup("Zip/City").lookup(".text-field").nth(2))

. Since

<Field text="Zip/City">

has two

<TextField>

children.

or

robot.clickOn("[text=Zip/City] .text-field:nth(2)")

(JavaFX, i.e.

Node.lookup()

, does not support these CSS3-like queries, but we could add this functionality).

Yeah but if you search on “text” like that you would have to make seperate testcases when you are internationalized?

internatinoalized: that's true. but you'd probably run all your tests in the same language anyway, or only tests in a different language, when you apps has a different behaviour in this language version.

@Ruckus OK, will look into that 🙂

@hastebrot XAML command binding might give you some inspiration for what you're trying to do https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms752308(v=vs.110).aspx

Node

ids, classes and queries allow us to focus on testing the behaviur rather than implementation details. we could even write a GUI test before the corresponding GUI code even exists. @johnzeringue mentioned "This is consistent with BDD principles: implementation details aren't relevant in testing." in a PR on TestFX's github (https://github.com/TestFX/TestFX/pull/210).

@edvin could it be (just wondering) that when you setup the mainView in the workspace like

override fun onBeforeShow(view: UIComponent) {
        workspace.dock<Mainview>()
    }

listeners are not initialized correctly?

@carlw The keycaps came today!! Thanks so much 🙂

that was pretty quick. john will probably get his soon too.

@ron What listeners are you referring to?

AFK (spanish food/restaurant)

@carlw Postal services FTW 🙂

@User uploaded a file: remember this one?

the textfield is there, but the search is not done

only change is the workspace I think

@edvin any word on your talks? did the sweden thing pan out?

@carlw No, I can't get away right now, I'm swamped at work probably for all of Feb.

@ron Not done, meaning it doesn't show up or what happens?

@edvin I will push the code to gitlab, as we have to go out for dinner

the textfield shows up but the code in the

filterWhen

does not seem to be executing

added some println’s to it to confirm that

@edvin Stack up all the keyboards in your office with the logo keycap in a photo for edvin town

@carlw same for me... thanks... still set for the end of march... i will probably ask a few of you to review/check my talk outline sometime before...
