Hi Nicolas, No I did not try that one. I tried GWT Mockito which looked promising and I actually managed to test a few widgets until someone added CssResources and other GWT features and then GWTMockito just exploded with a generic error that I should try disabling the classloading cache.
I am using GIN and I never do a GWT.create directly (GIN does that for you). That helps a lot in testing the higher level classes like Activities. But it does not really help with widgets. (We have some customisations on top of the DataGrid and CellTable and it does not look possible to automate the testing of those. And using GWTTestCases is really painful especially since we can't even proof that we are doing decent code coverage in our tests.
