TestFx - Cannot Open Login Dialog Box
I have a simple javafx application where, right after stage.show (), I call the login dialog. When I run the tests, they don't start doing their job until the login dialog is filled in and manually confirmed. For testing purposes, I tried to display another dialog after clicking a button on the stage and had no problem manipulating it through testFx. The only problem is with the initial login dialog. Is there a way to get around this behavior, or am I doing something wrong?
Test scenario: MainApp.java
package cz.mono.monofx;
import cz.mono.monofx.fxml.LoginDialog;
import cz.mono.monofx.fxml.ScreensController;
import java.util.Optional;
import javafx.application.Application;

public class MainApp extends Application {
public static final String SCREEN1 = "scene";
private final String screen1fxml = "/fxml/Scene.fxml";
public static final String SCREEN2 = "scene2";
private final String screen2fxml = "/fxml/Scene2.fxml";
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
ScreensController mainContainer = new ScreensController();
mainContainer.loadScreen(SCREEN1, screen1fxml);
mainContainer.loadScreen(SCREEN2, screen2fxml);
mainContainer.setScreen(SCREEN1);
Group root = new Group();
root.getChildren().addAll(mainContainer);
Scene scene = new Scene(root);
scene.getStylesheets().add("/styles/Styles.css");
stage.setTitle("Aplipikacka");
stage.setScene(scene);
stage.show();
LoginDialog login = new LoginDialog();
Optional <Pair<String, String>> result = login.getResult();
}

Let me show you one possible working solution. I have used it successfully in my project.
The basic idea is to make the most of the application method start
:
public class MainApp extends Application {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) throws Exception {
stage.setScene(new Scene(new MainPane(stage)));
stage.show();
}
All logic is moved to a class MainPane
:
class MainPane extends BorderPane {
MainPane(final Stage stage) {
stage.setTitle("Aplipikacka");
// open the login dialog only when the stage is opened too.
stage.setOnShown(event -> Platform.runLater(this::showLoginDialog));
}
private void showLoginDialog() {
LoginDialog login = new LoginDialog();
Optional<Pair<String, String>> result = login.getResult();
// TODO finish here
}
}
Since textFx provides its own stage
, where you have to manually enter your scene, do the following:
public class TestFxBase extends ApplicationTest {
@Override
public void start(Stage stage) {
stage.setScene(new Scene(new MainPane(stage)));
stage.show();
}
}
Finally, improve the test a bit:
public class MainAppFIT extends TestFxBase {
@Test
public void verifyLogin() {
// given started application and opened login dialog
sleep(500);
// when
write("HelloWorld");
type(TAB);
write("password");
clickOn("#loginButton");
// then
// TODO finish here with verification of actual result
}
}
As a result, I can see the textfx robot clicking / typing as defined in the testing steps.
BTW, `MainAppFIT '- FIT stands for Functional Integration Testing.
