It's getting better on MacOS X Aqua! (automated testing with VCL TestTool)
The former problem is identified and solved; It was all about a focus problem:
The UI of OpenOffice.org is not completely updated when the application is not front most.
When VCL TestTool starts OpenOffice.org, the application is started behind
the VCL TestTool application. This prevents some UI updates on OpenOffice.org,
which would be necessary for some tests.
First solution, as a workaround, is calling OpenOffice.org.app with the shell command,
after the VCL TestTool started soffice.bin. This makes OOo the front most application.
The real solution is made by PL, binding some 'bring application to front' action
to the commandline switch '-enableautomation', which belongs to CWS aquavcl07.
So from now on, errors shown by automated testing on MacOS X, are real errors found in OpenOffice.org.
This is a personal weblog, I do not speak for my employer.
