Looks very interesting.
Can you add an example test showing what it would look like to test if
a component was rendered? Design note: attempting to input().into()
a non-rendered component (or otherwise manipulate a non-rendered
component from the tests) should raise an assertion.
Is it possible to design the WebappTestCase class to delegate calls to
another class so that tests do not have to extend WebappTestCase, or
will this cause problems with the annotation configuration? There
are other testing frameworks out there that already require a specific
TestCase superclass, so this should be avoided if possible.
Ideally, you would have a WebappTestCaseHelper class with the
functionality of the current WebappTestCase, then have a new
WebappTestCase delegate to WebappTestCaseHelper.
Then if you need to extend a different testcase base, you could work
with WebappTestCaseHelper directly instead.
For example, if WebappTestCaseHelper were static,
import static WebappTestCaseHelper.input;
public void setup() {
WebappTestCaseHelper.setUpWebapp();
}
public void tearDown() {
WebappTestCaseHelper.tearDownWebapp();
}
public void test() {
input("value").into("id");
}
or if WebappTestCaseHelper were an instance:
public WebappTestCaseHelper webAppTester;
public void setup() {
webAppTester = new WebappTestCaseHelper();
webAppTester.setUpWebapp();
}
public void tearDown() {
webAppTester.tearDownWebapp();
webAppTester = null;
}
public void test() {
webAppTester.input("value").into("id");
}
