[Zope] ZopeTestCase and Selenium RC? Anybody?
Has anybody managed to marry ZopeTestCase (and the ZopeLite running database) with Selenium RC? I like Selenium but it's a pain to have to manually create a fixture and tear it down again. Would it be possible to kick start Selenium RC from within the testrunner on zope2? -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

I have no idea how Selenium and ZTC would be related - neither in general nor in this particular case.

I don't know how/if the zope testrunner starts a server that can be reached with a browser or not. If it does start a server that can be used in Firefox I'd be able to run som Selenium scripts (Remote Controlled or manually) and when I'm happy with the browser stuff I'd stop the testrunner which would reset the database/zodb again. Basically, having to manually create a fixture for running Selenium scripts is a bore. There's got to be an easier way. -- Peter Bengtsson, work www.fry-it.com home www.peterbe.com hobby www.issuetrackerproduct.com ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

If you have an existing fixture for ZTC, you might refactor it somehow in order to setup a new instance with your fixture using zopectl run ... before starting the Zope process for the Selenium testrunner. -aj pgpQb2mfbFXiB.pgp Description: PGP signature ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )

You can tell ZTC to start a server by calling ZopeTestCase.utils.startZServer() Stefan On 20.03.2008, at 15:24, Peter Bengtsson wrote: I don't know how/if the zope testrunner starts a server that can be reached with a browser or not. -- Stefan H.

When I need to do testing like this, I keep the start/stop of the app server seperate from the tests that are running against them. If I ever wanted to automate, I'd do something like: #!/bin/bash zopectl start python2.4 mytests.py zopectl stop I've also found zope.testrunner to be much more amenable for this kind of thing than fiddling with Selenium. (I actually combine zope.testing with zope.testrunner and so use zope.testing layers in order to re-use slow components, like setting up a Plohn site) cheers, Chris -- Simplistix - Content Management, Zope Python Consulting - http://www.simplistix.co.uk ___ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
