Hehe....Yes calling the render methods is still not ideally efficient...
It is still easy to test a component/page..Or at least "fairly" easy.
Under org.apache.tapestry.test.util (I think) there is a Creator class
that will let you create an instance of a component/page with
properties (even of your abstract methods) setup via a map or array
parameter.
You could then pass in a mock request cycle, with a NestedMarkupWriter
instance, which will allow you to capture the string data written to
it's internal buffer and then assert whatever you want to assert with
that data. I plan on adding some documentation on this as well :)
The service idea is a possible workaround, but depending on how speedy
all of these things get expedited I really do want to attack the
direct update + component identity problems as the first order of
business, if at all possible. It does affect me as well :)
In the interim though, there is enough infrastructure available in
tacos alone that I can make PartialFor work with things they way that
we want. I didn't want to do it before because it would be another one
of those "you can use it - but.." scenerios, but it would be a good
chance to play with stuff in a smaller-impact environment anyways.
Does this sound good/reasonable?
Yes, it sounds good / reasonable. I know it's better to focus, but then,
2 "principles" to apply, IMO are (for this and everything we do in
programming):
1) It should "just work". If there's a special limitation due to lack of
time, then it should be clearly documented (not "it may work" but "it
will work on this, and on this it won't"). It's much preferred if the
component itself checks this and throws an exception.
2) It should be documented. It's like a marketing effort for developers,
hehe.
Of course, in any case I'd be glad to help. But as a general approach,
it sounds good...
