SWTBot: Press “F5” on project in package explorer

Question

I'm currently trying to press the F5 keybinding using SWTBot tests to refresh a project in the package explorer. So far, I have been unsuccessful.

When I attempt to press the F5 keybinding in a way such as this:

SWTBotView packageExplorer = getPackageExplorer();
SWTBotTree tree = packageExplorer.bot().tree();
SWTBotTreeItem treeItem = tree.getTreeItem("newProject");
treeItem.select();
treeItem.pressShortcut(0, SWT.F5, (char) 0);

I receive the following stack trace:

I've also tried using:

Keyboard key = KeyboardFactory.getSWTKeyboard();
key.pressShortcut(Keystrokes.F5);

but it has failed with a nearly identical stacktrace.

How can I simulate pressing the F5 key on a project in the package explorer using SWTBot tests?

Answer 1

The root cause indicates that EN_CA.keyboard not found . SWTBot does not come with a predefined EN_CA keyboard layout.

If it fits your needs you can use the EN_US keyboard layout like this

SWTBotPreferences.KEYBOARD_LAYOUT = "EN_US";

Or define your own keyboard layout as desribed here: https://wiki.eclipse.org/SWTBot/Keyboard_Layouts
