Issue

When testing the selective sync folder selection in the OpenCloud Desktop client, Appium could not toggle the checkboxes in the Qt tree widget. The test would fail with:

selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: element's actions list didn't contain SetFocus. The element may be malformed

Root Cause

The Qt QTreeWidget checkbox is implemented using QTreeWidgetItem::setCheckState(). While the checkbox is visually rendered, the AT-SPI accessibility bridge does not expose the toggle action to automation frameworks.

Investigation showed:

• checkable: true - element is checkable
• actions: None - no actions exposed via AT-SPI
• role: None - role not exposed
• Standard click() selects the row but doesn't toggle the checkbox
• send_keys(" ") fails because the element lacks proper AT-SPI action interface

What We Tried

Method	Result
element.click()	Selects row, doesn't toggle checkbox
TouchAction / app().tap()	Not supported in this environment
send_keys(" ") / send_keys(Keys.SPACE)	Element doesn't support keyboard actions
execute_script() (JavaScript)	Command not supported
XPath to find checkbox child	No separate checkbox element exists
pyatspi, pyautogui, Xlib	Not available in test environment

Solution

Use xdotool - a command-line X11 automation tool that interacts directly with the X window system, bypassing AT-SPI limitations.

# After Appium click fails, use xdotool:
subprocess.run(['xdotool', 'mousemove', str(x), str(y)], check=True)
subprocess.run(['xdotool', 'click', '1'], check=True)

Where (x, y) is the checkbox position (10-15px from left edge of the row).

Implementation

The fix was added to SyncConnectionWizard.select_or_unselect_folders_to_sync():

1. Try Appium click (selects row)
2. If checkbox not toggled, use xdotool to click at checkbox position
