4.3.2 Using the GEF inspector

The GEF Inspector View in the ITE allows you to collect information about the textpath to an item from within your RCP AUT . For many of the actions on GEF figures, you will need to know the textpath. Using the Jubula accessibility plug-in will mean that the textpaths will be easier to determine without the inspector 4.3.3.

To use the inspector, you must have started the AUT 3.16.3.

  1. Open the GEF Inspector View if it is not already open via:
    Window --> Show View --> Other
  2. In the Inspector View , select the AUT you want to inspect in from the drop-down menu next to the activate inspector button.
  3. In your AUT , you will see a blue marking over items you can inspect in the canvas.
  4. Click on an item to inspect it.
    Make sure that the AUT is in focus before inspecting the figure.
  5. In the GEF Inspector View , the path to the item will be shown. If the code for your AUT uses the accessibility code from Jubula , then the textpath will be less complex and more readable.
  6. You can copy the textpath from the Inspector View via the context-menu and paste it as a parameter in your Test Cases .
    You will need to activate the inspector for each item you want to inspect
