Trying to record a test which will use menu entries will fail at least on OS X. There is no click recorded.

Steps:
1. Start recording a test
2. Click on Bookmarks => Bookmark this page
3. Click done in the EditBookmarksPanel
4. Stop recording

After step 4 you will only see the click for step 3.

Damn, its our native menu problem.

Wait. Let's ask at least Steven! :)

Steven, would there be a way for MozMill to listen to menu clicks on OS X? Right now we cannot add a listener to those elements.

For native menus, I suspect the answer is "no".

Josh should know more about this.

It would help to know what menu objects MozMill installs listeners on,
and what kind of listeners.

Josh, could you give us a short description why it doesn't work right now and what has to be changed until Mozmill can listen for menu elements? Looks like you know what is going on since you changed the component to Cocoa widgets. Thanks.

Mikeal, can you please explain in detail what is needed so we can get Mozmill to fetch the menu items? I'm not familiar with the inspector code.

[Josh Aas]

We need to know the exact mechanism by which mozmill is attempting to listen to menu actions.

Adam, can you clarify how the inspector listeners work.

Adam is not cc'ed. Doing that now.

Comment 10

[Adam Christian]

We iterate utils.getWindows() attaching listeners for mouse and key events, so unless the cocoa widgets can propagate events up to the window, is there an object where the native widgets propagate events that we could listen on?

No, this is totally different.

Moving to p3 because no activity for at least 1 year(s).

Mozmill is no longer existent. So nothing to worry about here.
