Log EDT events to facilitate debugging of EDT/threading problems
Issue by Per Rovegård from Thu, 3 Feb 2011 08:13:11 -0600 Originally opened as http://jira.codehaus.org/browse/FEST-427
When running our GUI test suites on Linux, using Xvnc and a window manager like fluxbox, fvwm2 or twm, we see a lot of odd threading problems as we push the robot delays down in order to speed up tests. We have verified that our code behaves well, so the problem seems to lie with the interaction between FEST and X11/the window manager.
It would be neat to be able to get a log of what is going on on the EDT in relation to the test thread to facilitate debugging of intermittent threading problems.
Ideally, it should be possible to turn on EDT logging for a test run, and then inspect the EDT log for those test cases that failed. In the EDT log, it should be possible to see timings and other relevant information. A cool thing would be if one could give a special ID to GuiActionRunner, and then be able to track that ID in the EDT log. Robot.waitForIdle could also have a special trackable ID.
