[xwiki-users] Testing framework within XWiki pages

2009-12-01 Thread Rieken, Joshua
Hello all,

I've been desiring a testing framework to aid my development efforts within 
XWiki pages. Specifically, I want to use test-driven development so that I can 
write tests for scripts before I write the scripts themselves.  These tests 
would be harnesses (possibly using {{include document=Blah.Blah}} and 
xwiki.parseGroovyFromPage(Blah.Blah)) and would report passes / failures / 
errors. There would also be a way to develop a suite of tests to run all at 
once, xUnit style. Before taking the time to develop this myself, has anyone 
developed something like this, or are there any recommendations or code you 
could share?

Thanks,
Joshua

Hi Joshua,

I worked a bit on this a few years ago. I started a Selenium-based  
test framework but the goal was to test functionally wiki pages.
It's available here:
http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/SeleniumApplication

Other than that I don't recall hearing anything similar to what you  
mention.

Let us know how you progress!

Thanks
-Vincent

I don't think it has been done so far (apart from what Vincent suggested).

I'll be very happy to read about your progress! Making developing
applications in XWiki using TDD best practices would be a nice step towards
making it a better application creation platform and I'm sure many people
would like that :-)

Let us know how it goes, you could also consider creating a page on:
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Ideas/
to document your idea and progression.

Good luck!

Guillaume


 Thanks,
 Joshua
