Can you please take a look at this issue?
http://swtbot.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=67
I would like to suggest improving SWTBot so that it throws an exception when it
finds more than one Widget matching. There is already such an exception if
there is no widget matching.
Currently SWTBot simply returns the first widget in the collection if no index
has been passed. This means that it is pure luck whether the right widget is
found or not. You cannot be sure. And next day another widget could be
returned, depending on internal search algorithms or UI layout. A test could
work one day and break on another day without any apparent change.
Throwing an exception if more than one widget was found would help the
programmer to detect such problems earlier und to be advised to use an index or
- even better in my eyes - to use unique widget IDs which are not yet supported
in SWTBot.
That feature does not necessarily break existing code as I have shown in the
Bugzilla issue.
So this is meant for discussion. Do you think like I wrote, are you against
that feature or do you don't care about it?
