Can't add text in a grid's cell [message #1693063]

Hello,

I'm trying to edit (enter text) into the cell of a nebula grid (org.eclipse.nebula.widgets.grid.Grid).

Attaching screenshot of what the result should look like: edit-cell.png.

RCPTT records the example test as follows. When I run it the test passes but nothing is actually written into the grid's cell -- it remains blank.

with [get-view "Company Search" | get-nebula-grid] {
    select "" | activate-cell-edit
    type-text abbccddeffgg
    apply-cell-edit -deactivate
}

In assertion mode I can check if a cell contains text, for example:

get-view "Company Search" | get-nebula-grid | get-item "" | get-property "columns[1]" | equals abcdefg | verify-true

Shouldn't it then also be possible to write text in the cell?

Thank you,
Chris

Hi,

I've found a bug with nebula grid. It seems that it's related to your case.
Try to add -column 1 after activate-cell-edit:

with [get-view "Company Search" | get-nebula-grid] {
    select "" | activate-cell-edit -column 1
    type-text abbccddeffgg
    apply-cell-edit -deactivate
}

Please let me know if it helps.

Hi Olga,
Unfortunately adding the -column 1 parameter didn't work.
The test still passes but nothing is written into the cell.

I tried adding get-item-cell and a wait period and see that the cell is being selected (screenshot attached) but after the wait it's immediately deselected again without writing anything into it.

with [get-view "Company Search" | get-nebula-grid] {
	get-item "" | get-item-cell -column Company | click
	wait -ms 3000
	select "" | activate-cell-edit -column 1
	type-text abc
	apply-cell-edit -deactivate
}

Is there anything else I could try?

Thank you,
Chris

Hello,
Could you please try to select another cell in the end?
1. select needed cell
2. type text
3. select another cell
4. deactivate editing
Please let me know if it helps.

Also, just for diagnostics, add wait after type-text abc to ensure that text was typed into needed cell.

Just tried this with no difference:

with [get-view "Company Search" | get-nebula-grid] {
	get-item "" | get-item-cell -column Company | click
	select "" | activate-cell-edit -column 1
	type-text abc
	wait -ms 3000
	select "" | activate-cell-edit -column 2
	apply-cell-edit -deactivate
}

I had a similar issue and after much frustration this worked for me:

select "" | get-cell -row 2 -column 0 | double-click
with [get-editbox] {
set-text abc
key-type Enter
}
apply-cell-edit -deactivate
