The issues with javascript in HtmlUnit could probably be fixed by using some of the new but as yet not announced rhino implementations floating around:
ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/js/ I've heard that people are able to do full dom document operations and stuff in it now without very much work. I'm assuming most of the new stuff is related to compatibility with js2 as well as whatever those crazy freaks at google are doing to it. On 7/26/07, Dan Adams <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
The htmlunit stuff is still pretty experimental and I've speced out what it might look like but haven't done any heavy development. Currently we have a number of integration tests that use htmlunit (which works great except for javascript heavy stuff). The idea is to re-implement the piece of htmlunit that does http connections so that it communicates with PageTester rather than making http requests to a server. Then rather than having to translate html text into a htmlunit dom it would convert the tapestry dom into the htmlunit dom. Events in htmlunit such as link.click() would actually result in calling pageTester.clickLink(). I've looked into it a bit and it seems pretty feasible (you basically just implement WebConnection). I'll probably do this so that we can integration test our CMS apps from within unit tests without having to separately start the environment but that won't be for a little while.
