An example wouldbe what I have given in my previous
email. Let me explain better this time by filling the
skeleton code of yours.
beginTestLogin(...)
{
// set what is needed WRT the HTTP request
...
req.addParameter("user", "test");
req.addParameter("pwd", "test123");
}
testTestLogin()
{
// set what is need WRT container objects
...
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator();
// Execute the test
// This method will read user and pwd parameters,
// creates a custom sessionid and stores it as a
// cookie in the response. It also stores it in the
// database.
auth.login(request, response);
...
// Assert server side objects
...
}
endTestLogin(...)
{
// Assert HTTP related response values
...
String sid = response.getCookie().getValue();
// When I go to another page on the site, this
// cookie is required to validate the session and
// display the information. Authenticator class
// therefore has another API called validate that
// needs this cookie obtained in the response here.
// Therefore, I store it as a system property as I
// dont know other way of accessing this information
// in next test.
System.setProperty("sid", sid);
}
// Now the test that I am interested in - validate
beginTestValidate (...)
{
// I need to set a valid session id obtained on
// logging in to the application in the cookie of
// this request. Therefore, I read that cookie from
// previous test. If I dont pass a valid session id,
// I cannot test this method because this method
// returns information only if it can find the
// session id passed in the cookie to already exist
// in the database (inserted during login).
String sid = System.getProperty("sid");
request.addCookie("sid", sid);
}
testTestValidate()
{
Authenticator auth = new Authenticator();
// Execute the test
// This method will read sid cookie,
// and returns true if validated.
Boolean sidExists = auth.login(request, response);
// I want to create a test where I sid already
exists
// so that following assert will not fail.
assertTrue("Could not validate", sidExists);
}
Now, if I dont save the result from a previous test or
use Method 2 where I use HttpUnit in beginTestValidate
to get a valid session id, how can I get
testTestValidate to work?
beginXXX using Method 2: (I havnt tried this though)
beginTestValidate (...)
{
WebConversation conversation = new
WebConversation();
PostMethodWebRequest request2 = new
PostMethodWebRequest("http://localhost:8080/test/login.jsp";);
request2.setParameter( "user", "test" );
request2.setParameter( "pwd", "test123" );
WebResponse response2 = conversation.getResponse(
request2 );
String sid = response2.getNewCookieValue("sid");
request.addCookie("sid",sid);
}
Thanks,
balki
