Java 8: Exception "Not on FX application thread" in TextInputControlsTest about testfx HOT 7 CLOSED

I also reported this issue to https://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-35317.

from testfx.

I'm not sure that this is a JavaFX bug at all. What I am sure of however, is that my implementation of clearTextIn was obviously way too rushed.

TestFX is supposed to simulate user actions -- threads shouldn't matter. ´textField.clear()´ is not a user action. I'll rewrite it.

Yes, this is clearly a TestFX bug, I already commented that to the JavaFX ticket.

The fix really shows the clumsyness in the current implementation (having to instantiate a new GuiTest with a getRootNode that returns null)...

Hi.

I just wanted to comment on this matter..
I'm using a Mac, and looking at the implementation of this function, it presses CTRL + A (Select all), which does not work on mac, since it is CMD + A for a select, meaning my tests fail when running them on a mac.
I hope this wasn't the wrong forum to post this in, just wanted to let you know, and please let me know if you're going to fix this in an upcoming release.

Hi! Thanks for the report!

This is what I use on Windows:

click("#textfield").push(KeyCode.CONTROL, KeyCode.A);

Maybe you could try something like this on OS X:

click("#textfield").push(KeyCode.COMMAND, KeyCode.A);

Hi @hastebrot thanks for the reply.
I am aware that it could be solved like this.
However our programmers use either linux or mac depending on their choice. We need the same code to run on both operating systems, hence the need for a smart "clearAllIn" function.
