Re: Re: Tests for Console
I was able to finally get the simple GoogleTest example to run in Maven... some of the online docs are bunk, but if you download selenium-rc 0.8.1 those examples work better. Still need to automate starting, stopping the selenium server, which should happen when the G server is started stopped. I briefly took a whack at this and have something... though the Ant exec task buffers some output and ends up causing evil exceptions on shutdown... which I have no idea why. I may check in some of what I have into a new top-level testsuite module, so that we have a place to apply patches to.

Re: Tests for Console
Hi Jason, AFAIK you have to have the selenium stuff in the web app you are deploying. But that is something I was going to play with over the weekend. My approach was mirror what shale does; http://shale.apache.org/shale-apps/selenium.html But run the tests with the selenium server.

Cool.. Selenium then. You may monitor this jira http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GERONIMO-2359 as I start building the integration tests for the server. I'll soon have another patch out there.
