Look at zc.selenium, which does this.
Thanks!
I'm struggling a little bit with making the leap to Zope 2 and
ZopeTestCase, though. I think the approach zc.selenium takes is a bit
more complex than what I need, because it seems to be doing some of the
Selenium controlling itself. The way I've used Selenium in Java before
uses a simple client driver (which has a Python version) talking to the
Selenium RC, which deals with opening the browser etc.
In this case, we used a base class for JUnit tests that did a database
clean-down to a known good state before each test run. If I can do the
basic test setup in a standard layer and do the "reset database to the
layer's setup state" before each test, I think we'd be good. I don't
particularly need to do the reset from within a Selenium test (i.e. with
a browser URL) or run tests from an HTML table.
I think the main problem is that I'm not terribly familiar with how
DemoStorage works, or how the Zope server (in a test case) ends up
getting its database. I'm worried that I may be asking the "wrong"
questions here, but to my mind, the three questions would be:
- how can I use DemoStorage to snapshot a known state and then return
to it at all
- how can I ensure that this is the storage that the Zope server sees
- how can I actually access a server that's running inside a
ZopeTestCase over a URL, i.e. ensure that it binds to a port and serves
requests for the duration of the test run
Thanks,
Martin
