Time for action – hiding the welcome screen

When Eclipse starts, it typically displays a welcome page. Since this often gets in the way of automated user testing, it is useful to close it at startup.

  1. In the createProject method, within a try block, obtain a view with the title Welcome.
  2. Invoke the close method.
  3. The code will change to look like this:
    SWTWorkbenchBot bot = new SWTWorkbenchBot();
try {
  bot.viewByTitle("Welcome").close();
} catch (WidgetNotFoundException e) {
  // ignore
}
  4. Run the test, and the welcome screen should be closed before the test is run.

What just happened?

Upon startup, the IDE will show a welcome screen. This is shown in a view with a Welcome title.

Using the viewByTitle accessor, the (SWTBot wrapper) view can be accessed. If the view doesn't exist, then an exception will be thrown; so for safety, check and catch any WidgetNotFoundException, since not finding the welcome screen is not a failure.

Having found the welcome page, invoking the close method will close the view.
