Clicking on disabled Swing components

Question

I have a disabled JTable that provides a popup menu:

import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
import javax.swing.JPopupMenu;
import javax.swing.JTable;

public class DisabledTableFrame extends JFrame {

    public DisabledTableFrame() {

        setSize(200, 100);
        setTitle(getClass().getCanonicalName());
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        JTable table = new JTable();
        add(table);

        table.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {

            @Override
            public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
                mouseReleased(e);
            }

            @Override
            public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
                new PopupMenu();
            }

        });

        table.setEnabled(false);
        setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        new DisabledTableFrame();

    }

    private class PopupMenu extends JPopupMenu {

        public PopupMenu() {

            JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("TEST");
            add(menuItem);
            setVisible(true);
        }
    }
}

So when testing this function with AssertJ Swing using:

import org.assertj.swing.edt.GuiActionRunner;
import org.assertj.swing.edt.GuiQuery;
import org.assertj.swing.fixture.FrameFixture;
import org.assertj.swing.junit.testcase.AssertJSwingJUnitTestCase;
import org.junit.Test;

public class PopupTestCase extends AssertJSwingJUnitTestCase {

    protected FrameFixture window;

    @Override
    protected void onSetUp() {
        DisabledTableFrame mainFrame = GuiActionRunner
                .execute(new GuiQuery<DisabledTableFrame>() {
                    protected DisabledTableFrame executeInEDT() {

                        return new DisabledTableFrame();
                    }
                });

        window = new FrameFixture(robot(), mainFrame);
    }

    @Test
    public void popupShouldBeOpened() {

        window.table().showPopupMenu();
    }
}

pom.xml:

It works fine when the table is enabled. But the popupShoudBeOpened() test on the disabled table throws the following exception:

As the popup menu obviously works even on the disabled table, how can I get AssertJ to "right click" the disabled table?

Answer 1

AsserJ expected the tested component to be enabled.
Once it's disabled, It will throw an IllegalStateException.
Check AbstractComponentFixture API here.

One way to fix this issue is to divide for 2 tests and contain the exception when the table is expected to be disabled:

@Test
public void popupShouldBeOpenedIfTableIsDisabled() {
    try {
        window.table().showPopupMenu();
    } catch (IllegalStateException e) {
        // Continue normally if IllegalStateException was thrown since the table is disabled on purpose.
    }
}

@Test
public void popupShouldBeOpenedIfTableIsEnabled() {
    window.table().showPopupMenu();
    // IllegalStateException will fail the test since the table is enabled.
}
