Unfortunately, the event propagation system doesn't work in GWTTestCase - so that means you can't send a click() message to a Button and expect the registered ClickListeners to be notified. This means you wouldn't be able to test clicking on an Anchor in a test and verifying any resulting behavior, even if Anchor supported such a method - which I'm not sure it does.
I'd recommend moving all the behavior out of any anonymous ClickListeners and put them onto a "controller" or "presenter" object, then unit test those classes using standard JUnit test cases. You won't be able to verify the callbacks are wired to the correct object, but in my experience that was easiest to check with some manual exploratory testing, or some very basic Selenium tests to exercise the system (without going into exhaustive scenario tests, since these were easier to test with unit tests). I've written about my experiences with testing GWT applications here, if it's helpful: http://blog.danielwellman.com/2008/11/test-first-gwt-article-in-november-2008-better-software-magazine.html Cheers, Dan On Jan 30, 9:20 am, hpgabbar <[email protected]> wrote: > I am using GWTTestCase only, but for elements like Anchor, i am not > able to find a way to fire a click. on button i could do that. > I want to know, whether GWT provides a way a programmatic equivalent > of the user clicking the anchor.
