Hey Guys,

I have used FEST-Swing for a month, and I only bumped in to the Error Dialog that says "'Query should be executed in the event dispatch thread' for several (<10) times, as I read online that if we are using FEST-Swing, it's already thread safe, I didn't pay much attention to that.

But right now, another guy in our team started to use FEST with Ubuntu 9 and Eclipse 3.4, but he kept getting this problem as follows:

===========================
org.fest.swing.exception.ActionFailedException: Query should be executed in the event dispatch thread
at
org.fest.swing.exception.ActionFailedException.actionFailure(ActionFailedException.java:33)
at org.fest.swing.edt.GuiQuery.run(GuiQuery.java:40)
at java.awt.event.InvocationEvent.dispatch(InvocationEvent.java:226)

at
java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(EventDispatchThread.java:177)
at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(EventDispatchThread.java:138)
=============
So, I am wondering whether we have something to do to get rid of this?

Thanks,

Kwen

Hi Kwen,

You only GuiActionRunner if you use Swing components directly, for example: textField.setText("Hello"). GuiActionRunner is not necessary if you use FEST's API.

I'm in the middle of writing a post that summarizes when and how we should use GuiActionRunner

Regards,

Alex
