Copilot generated the following tests:

• 4 tests verifying the orientation based on the search field location
• Default dimensions are followed as expected
• Secondary text field listener is added and works as expected

The test setup wasn’t working, though the error might be coming from my code.

The issue was with allowed actions.

ERROR: Read access is allowed from inside read-action only

Result

Copilot added an if to the code, which would run the problematic part in a read-action if it wasn’t allowed. I don’t think adding if blocks to the code for test specific cases is very good.

The explanation sounded valid, but even though the if case was hit it didn’t solve the issue.

This time the issue was with the thread itself.

Access is allowed from Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) only

Result

This time copilot made a huge amount of changes to the actual implementation. Changing variable names and formatting things differently making the diff hard to read.

This time the tests did pass, but I wasn’t happy.

I started commenting out things that I didn’t like and the tests just kept passing.

So, Copilot had tried to fix the issue in both places. It had changed the tests to run the command using ETD, which to me seems like the correct solution, but it had also done a large amount of changes to the source file which were totally unnecessary.

For example it created a runnable in the init block, which was used to initialize the component.

I was able to restore the whole FuzzyFinderComponent.kt without issues (30+ changes) and the actual fix were only a couple lines to the test file.
