Research direction

Start with the reported src/test/java/com/marginallyclever/makelangelo/paper/PaperSettingsPanelTest.java and the AssertJSwingJUnitTestCase setup shown in the issue. Reproduce the failure through IntelliJ IDEA and the Maven lifecycle, then inspect the headless exception and existing AssertJ Swing documentation; done means documenting a confirmed way to run these JPanel interaction tests headlessly, or clearly stating that it is unsupported.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Hello, I hope you are well.

I hope this is the right area for this issue.

I've been up and down the assertj swing documentation and I don't see any mention of how to run headless unit tests. My specific case is that I want to test my JPanel interaction results. I tried the following:

public class PaperSettingsPanelTest extends AssertJSwingJUnitTestCase {
	private JPanelFixture panel;

	@Override
	protected void onSetUp() {
		PreferencesHelper.start();
		Translator.start();
		panel = new JPanelFixture(robot(),new PaperSettingsPanel(new Paper()));
	}

	@SuppressWarnings("unlikely-arg-type")
	@Test
	public void testLandscapeToPortrait() {
		panel.comboBox("size").selectItem(1);
		assert(panel.textBox("width.field").equals("1682"));
		assert(panel.textBox("height.field").equals("2378"));
		panel.comboBox("size").selectItem(1);
		panel.checkBox("landscape").click();
		assert(panel.textBox("width.field").equals("2378"));
		assert(panel.textBox("height.field").equals("1682"));
	}
}

and I get

This happens with both IntelliJ IDEA running the tests on my desktop (?!) and Maven lifecycle tests.

fwiw the project is https://github.com/MarginallyClever/Makelangelo-software and the test case is src/test/java/com/marginallyclever/makelangelo/paper/PaperSettingsPanelTest.java

Can someone please give me a hint how to do this right? I have a lot of panels that could use tests.
