Re: Tests for Console

[Jason Dillon]

That would kinda suck... as we'd have to re-roll the webapps... I'm  
not really sure why shale needs to unpack the dist and then copy  
stuff around with antrun.

I was able to write a simple login test, which clicks the Console  
link in the welcome app, then logs in to the console... seems to work  
okay.  Not sure if it will remember the session... many need a not so  
simple test to verify that.

I am using the selenium server too, though I just started it by hand.

Hi Jason,

AFAIK you have to have the selenium stuff in the web app you are  
deploying. But that is something I was going to play with over the  
weekend.

My approach was mirror what shale does;

http://shale.apache.org/shale-apps/selenium.html

But run the tests with the selenium server.

I was able to finally get the simple GoogleTest example to run in
Maven... some of the online docs are bunk, but if you download
selenium-rc 0.8.1 those examples work better.

Still need to automate starting, stopping the selenium server, which
should happen when the G server is started & stopped.

I briefly took a whack at this and have something... though the Ant
exec task buffers some output and ends up causing evil exceptions on
shutdown... which I have no idea why.

I may check in some of what I have into a new top-level testsuite
module, so that we have a place to apply patches to.

Does anyone know if we need to modify the webapps to include some
special selenium fluff?

Hi All,

I'm planning on doing a proof of concept for selenium over the
weekend to test the console (esp the datasource deployment :-).

I will post a patch when i have something meaningful (hopefully by
monday).

TTFN,
