Andrew, Others may feel differently, but I thought it was sufficiently easy to install and, to be honest, lowering the bar for newbies is not one of my biggest priorities. I think it is more important to make it easier for developers to write tests and so I would like to throw open the question of what does that entail? I don't really know. I do know that in some cases, "automation == ease". Are there places where we can automate things?
I also have a question about remote service interface. I did not have time to look at it in as much depth. I understand that you can select return parameters to use in the input to the next service call, but is there a way to specify input parameters to the initial service call? Can we make a service call from Selenium? I just got as far as the one screen where the user enters the services name and "pool". What is pool? How about take down? Is that something that you usually want to do in these sorts of tests? I guess I mean rolling back transactions. Does OFBiz already have some sort of cascading remove capability? I know that there are "related remove" methods. -Al On 2/28/07, Andrew Sykes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Al, Thanks for the vote of confidence on Selenium, and generally for keeping this effort alive, very much appreciated - I'm getting a bit maxed out, so struggling to keep it going. My plan - for what it's worth, was to write an auto-install for Selenium to work around licensing of some of the libs while keeping the bar low for usage by newbies. Some util for unzipping will be needed for this, and if it was generic could be reused for compressing and uncompressing things like big entity xml data files. Any takers? - Andrew On Mon, 2007-02-26 at 19:01 -0700, Al Byers wrote: > David, > > Is Andrew Z going to be there? Will work on the content management system be > a suitable topic?
