Re: [QF-Test] Interaction with SWT Browser widget

[Gregor Schmid <Gregor.Schmid@?.de>]

Hello Marek,

we hope to support the embedded SWT browser directly at some point but
unfortunately we aren't there yet.

There is, however, a common pattern to address this which works well
in most cases, when the interaction between the page in the embedded
browser and the SWT application isn't too tight:

Get hold of the SWT Browser widget, read its URL and open a QF-Test
browser on the same URL as a second client (using a different client
name). You then have the full QF-Test web capabilities at your
disposal for interacting with the web page and for checking results.

To do so, use an SUT script with

browser = rc.getComponent("QF-Test id of the Browser widget")
url = browser.getUrl()
rc.setLocal("url", url)

Then use $(url) in the startup sequence for the web client.

Best regards,
    Greg
