Hi Markus, Despite my initial problems getting the Selenium Framework to run, I think it is a great start. Now that I have the PagedTiffHandler working, here is some feedback on the current framework: + When I svn up ../tests (or any ancestor directory), the local changes I make to RunSeleniumTests cause a local conflict error. Eventually, many of the configuration changes I made should appear in LocalSeleniumSettings, but it isn't clear that is possible for all of them. For example, I change the commented out set_include_path to include my local PHP/PEAR directory. Can this be set in LocalSeleniumSettings? Another difference is the include_once() for each test suite. Is it possible to move these into LocalSeleniumSettings? + It appears there is no way to tell RunSeleniumTests to use a selenium server port other than 4444. It would be useful to have a -port parameter on RunSeleniumServer for this. For example, if there are multiple developers working on the same machine, they probably need to use different selenium servers differentiated by different port numbers. I don't mind working on both of these issues, but since you are the original architect of the framework, it is probably best for you to comment on them first and perhaps suggest what you consider to be the best approach to their resolution. -- -- Dan Nessett _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
