Research direction

Start with view/src/test/java/com/test/assertj/AppUiTest.java and the shouldFindInjectionPreferences test, then compare its local runtime with the linked GitHub Actions logs. Trace the checkbox lookup and click timing on CI, including EDT behavior, and identify a reproducible cause. Done means a confirmed source of the slowdown and a scoped fix or actionable recommendation.

Description

Hello, I have a moderately dense GUI, I'm looking for specific reasons why simple command lasts at least 20s on GitHub Actions, some taking minutes for one click :

@Test
void shouldFindInjectionPreferences() {
    AppUiTest.window.checkBox("checkboxIsParsingForm").click();
    AppUiTest.window.checkBox("checkboxIsParsingForm").click();
}

All the tests are instant on local (source code, GH actions logs), the entire test suite in this file lasts 59s in local, and it lasts 2h16m on GH actions.

Is there a problem about lookup by name ? about EDT ?

Is there any ways to speedup one click in some ways ?
