Creating FEST to wait for application loading

Question

I am new to FEST based GUI testing.

MyFrame is the root class for my application.

@Before public void onSetUp() { MyFrame frame = GuiActionRunner.execute(new GuiQuery<MyFrame>() { protected MyFrame executeInEDT() { return new MyFrame(); } }); frame2 = new FrameFixture(robot(), frame); frame2.show(); // shows the frame to test } 

When I run the test case,

 @Test public void testGui() { String rs = frame2.label("hl").text().toString(); assertTrue(rs.equals("First")); } 

The above method does not print the actual line present in the label.

I think the FEST API is not waiting for the application to load.

Are there any methods for deferred search for a GUI element?

Answer 1

 //do your clicks fixture.robot.waitForIdle();//give the GUI time to update //do your asserts 

this will pause your code until your GUI is updated. The advantage of Pause is that you do not need to wait longer than you need, passing a large period of time.

Answer 2

Perhaps you can use the pause method from org.fest.swing.timing.
