Screen shot
This screen shot shows the information available for the selected combo box.
Note that description is blank. The Name field cannot be reliably used as the
value displayed isn't the name of the field, but rather the value selected from
the combo-box. In the case of this Frame, all the combo boxes have the same
role name value ("combo box") so dogtail cannot specify which one to select in
a test script.

Screen shot
Here's another illustration - this field has a "description" value that is
unique in the Frame - so, dogtail can specify the field:
observerName = observerPanel.child(roleName='text', description='Enter a name
for the observer')

Another illustration - the lack of AT info makes edit/delete tests impossible.
Assigning to Phil - May 2, 2006 Added other gui hackers, so they might investigate thier own respective glade responsibilities. Action item for ldimaggi - define the AT-related fields in the glade files. Proposed standard for the AT name values for each Glade GUI widget =
the widget name + a useful/mnemonic suffix
(ex) vbox45 becomes vbox45_processGroupComboBox
While doing it the way you indicate sound goods, this will actually lead to a scenario where the widgets name and the AT name will differ. Also, as vboxes/hboxes/alignment and most labels are not handled in Java thier names are just left as the glade default. What you propose will take weeks of work in the monitor (there are 1000s of hboxes/vboxes/alignments/labels). The actual "real" widgets are already properly named. Could we, for the time being, just propogate the name to the AT name, and work with the long term goal of applying your mneumonic to vboxes/hboxes/alignments/labels? In response to Phil's comment this morning (2006-05-09): YES - definitely - that's just what I had in mind. The key is to get some unique information into the AT name property. In working with some prototype test scripts for the Druid, it quickly became a headache dealing with vbox/hbox named fields (but it was still possible), but we probably won't want to even try to give better names to ALL those fields. We'll try an iterative approach on added better names. Len, I think all AT info was exposed at this time, and we are current with the glade files? (ie because of the dogtail scripts working, I would assume so) |
