Hi Roland
We use the Webtest with JSF and JBoss Seam . We have the problem with
the changing webtest id's which we handled in the following way :
a) We instrumented the jsf libraries and the rich faces libraries with a
encodeBegin and encodeEnd method. This instrumentation code creates an xml
with the id's of the components . We wrote a webtest application that walks
all the links whenever we change the layout so that we get the newIds.
b) These ids are in a build.properties and the tests refer to the
property name rather than the actual htmlId. For your example this will be
<clickElement htmlId=$idElement > and idElement is defined in the
properties file which is imported . this way . The properties file is
generated by step a)
c) I remember using the FileUpload in rich faces 3.2.1. Let me check and
see if we have a test case for it
Hope that helps
Regards
Hari
