[Chandler-dev] Re: [commits] (john) [11621] Display all of the OOTB collections as table view across all App areas

[Grant Baillie]

It turns out this exposed an assumption in the way the UI test suite  
(tools/cats/framework/ChandlerTestLib.py) works. This assumes that  
having the calendar button pressed in the app bar means that the  
calendar is displayed (see the CalendarVisible() method @ line 196).  
This is no longer the case when you're viewing the Dashboard collection.

Running the entire functional test suite works, because at some point  
we create a new collection and don't get into the above situation.  
However, individual tests fail, like:

./tools/do_tests.sh -t TestNewEvent

as do some performance tests. You get tracebacks like:

<DBRepositoryView: MainThread (2)> committed 60 items (39 kbytes) in  
0:00:00.336198, 178 items/s (116 kbytes/s)
Traceback (most recent call last):

Part of the issue is that the test framework expects  
UITestItem.SelectItem() to work, but no-one wrote any code to handle  
the case when the summary table (i.e. not the calendar) is visible.  
Probably that needs to happen soon, since the summary table is now  
more commonly visible.
