Question

How to get the description text of an eclipse wizard using SWTBot? The wizard.shell.gettext() method gives the title, but I could not find any method for getting the description.I need it to verify the description and the error messages displayed on the wizard page.

Answer 1

as a workaround , I used this code

public void verifyWizardMessage(String message) throws AssertionError{
    try{
       bot.text(" "+message);
    }catch(WidgetNotFoundException e){
        throw (new AssertionError("no matching message found"));
    }
}

here bot is a SWTBot instance available to method.The wizard messages automatically prepends a space to the description field,so I m using " "+message. Hope it helps
