I pushed my git repository to GitHub to make it more easy to allow
updates from others.
It is now located here:
https://github.com/MarcoHess/smeserver-test-automation
I also updated the http://wiki.contribs.org/Robotframework wiki page to
reflect that location change.
I would encourage anybody that has been playing with these tests to
follow the 'fork' and 'pull request' process
(https://help.github.com/articles/fork-a-repo) to submit your updates
and I will endeavor to merge these into the master repository.
Note that with the latest update I managed to get a test to work that
adds and deletes a hostname.
This illustrates a couple of techniques to fill in forms, click the
right buttons and even use a fancy xpath expression to find a link to
click within a table.
I am looking forward to plenty of pull requests to make this into a
comprehensive SME validation framework.
Cheers,
Marco

Brian,
That is pretty cool that you were able to run them all :-).
With regard to the input fields, I found that selenium has some
trouble when frames get reloaded (i.e. after clicking a button) and it
not immediatly sees the new frame on the page. I found that selecting
waiting for the page to load and then selecting away from the frame
(like to the navigation frame) and then back to the main frame helps a
lot. Other than that at this stage I think it is mostly learning curve
with the robot framework. Too early to tell if we need changes in the
server manager web pages to accomodate the testing.
I replied to Ian that I would move my private git repository to GitHub
to make it more easy to provide contributions.
Cheers,
Marco

I've just done an install from the 64 bit ISO under Virtual Box, and
I've run Marco's (minimal) tests - all passed (inc ssh and ftp).
We do need to enhance these so that they can be of proper use, I ran
out of time a couple of weeks ago, but might have some more time soon.
I had trouble getting the package to recognise the input fields in
the Server Manager. Marco indicated he thought that it was to do with
the html frames, which is well outside my understanding.
If someone could look at this and give me a recipe for plugging data
into the input fields in the server manager pages then I'm happy to
plug away developing testing scripts for the system.

I would like to bring the automated tests into actual use to help
reduce the manual effort for releasing. Has there been more progress
on creating additional tests?
Marco: As you currently have a GIT repo for the tests would you be
willing to maintain that and accept contributions until the
foundation sets up an official repository for the tests?
I really appreciate the work that has gone on, thank you.

That is good news. I'll update the Wiki with instructions on how
people can load your files and execute them.
I'll also start thinking about a schedule of tests we can run (and
I'll try and implement some of them!).

If there is a problem finding the buttons then maybe we need
to change the HTML for the button, or look at Charlie's
suggestion of mojo.
I think I have figured out what the problem with the buttons in
the web pages is. It has to do with selenium loosing the frame
contents when it is reloaded. By unselecting and reselecting the
"main" frame, the robot framework gets access to the elements in
the frame again.
I have done a minor update to the scripts in my repository and
am trying more extensive form changes now. Currently able to
mostly change the software installer settings (but more frame
reloads with yum status messes it up a bit).
Cheers,
Marco
