Re: [qooxdoo-devel] Automated testing of qooxdoo applications

[Jim Hunter]

That sounds fine and dandy for text objects, how does AutomatedQA propose clicking a button on a page where there might be 5 identical sections all with an OK button. Currently the rendered code makes all 5 buttons look the same. I would think that you are going to have to give each one a unique ID in order for TextComplete to find the object. This was the case when we were trying it with another toolkit, we have not yet tried it with qooxdoo. Adding a unique ID is just some additional code that in our case seems to be necessary.

We've got a workaround from AutomatedQA (we sent them a test script working against the public qooxdoo demo, very useful!). A function looks for nodes based on their text content. As long as we use unique text throughout our test data we should be able to run automated testing against qooxdoo.
