Hi Lately I have been working on improving the WicketTester to support testing of AJAX-enabled web applications. This has led to methods such as assertComponentOnAjaxResponse(), executeAjaxEvent() and extension of clickLink() to support AjaxLink and AjaxSubmitLink.
The problem now as I see it, is that what you get from WicketTester.getServletResponse().getDocument() is not the actual HTML markup document on the server, but could also be an AJAX response. So if you have used that one as a way to test that the markup is actually being rendered as expected. It can't really be used for that. Also there is the WicketTester.debugComponentTrees(), which actually shows the correct component hierarchy even if some components has been replaced in an AjaxEventBehavior.onEvent() method. (Makes sence since you need to add a component to the component tree, if you want to add it to a AJAX response). So right now we have a situation where you (using WicketTester) can get hold of the correct component tree even after and AJAX event, but you can't get the complete markup which matches the component tree. Therefore I would like to modify WicketTester so it is possible to get hold of the *merged* markup, which means the original markup when you started a page or a panel, and then the AjaxRequestTarget.addComponent() changes has been *merged* into it so the markup actually matches whats rendered on the page. But I need some ideas on how to do that. Right now it's the MockHttpServletResponse which handles whats in the response. But I guess that we would need a different way of preserving the state between multiple responses, so we will be able to merge them all together. Of course the internal "MarkupCacheStateWhatever" should be flushed everytime we start a new page, but every following AJAX responses should be cached and merged. Just a thought.
