I‘m new to TestFX GUI-testing with fxrobot (javafx).
My current task is about clicking on a choice on a drop down menu created with combobox. I didn‘t find any tutorials mentioning this issue.
Is it really possible to implement the clickOn() method selecting a text in a combobox/drop down menu? Is there an example how to do it?
Thanks a million!
This is an example of a way where a user selects the given text in the given combobox.
void user_selects_combo_item(String comboBoxId, String itemToSelect) {
ComboBox<?> actualComboBox = lookupControl(comboBoxId);
// Find and click only on arrow button. This is important for editable combo-boxes.
for (Node child : actualComboBox.getChildrenUnmodifiable()) {
if (child.getStyleClass().contains("arrow-button")) {
Node arrowRegion = ((Pane) child).getChildren().get(0);
robot.clickOn(arrowRegion);
Thread.sleep(100); // try/catch were skipped for shorter code.
robot.clickOn(itemToSelect);
}
}
Assert.fail("Couldn't find an arrow-button.");
}
private <T extends Node> T lookupControl(String controlId) {
T actualControl = robot.lookup(controlId).query();
assertNotNull("Could not find a control by id = " + controlId, actualControl);
return actualControl;
}
