Looks like you are instantiating Editor directly. I'm guessing it's not picking up the global scope from that. Try find<Editor>()

[Carlton Whitehead]

Isn't that one of the penalties on your monopoly game? 😄

[amanda.hinchman-dominguez]

hahaha I'll add that one to the list 😄

@Carlton Whitehead Originally, I had find<Editor>(CatScheduleScope()), but what I'd like to be able to do is save the nodes so I can use their properties and methods to test them

[Carlton Whitehead]

TestFX can query the nodes by ID, class, and other criteria

[amanda.hinchman-dominguez]

Right - so I originally had JUST val stage = FXToolkit.registerPrimaryStage() and then find<Editor>(CatScheduleScope()) in the testTextField() method, but in my debugging, it kind of looked like no stage was being attached because the call to lookup the node kept returning null
