CVS HEAD broken; excalibur needs updating
Hi,
Just checked out the latest 2.1 from CVS (to look at Bernhard's indexing
stuff), and the front page dies:
java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.ComponentHandler: method initialize()V not found
at org.apache.avalon.excalibur.component.ExcaliburComponentManager.initialize(ExcaliburComponentManager.java:162)
at org.apache.cocoon.Cocoon.initialize(Cocoon.java:280)
at org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet.createCocoon(CocoonServlet.java:983)
at org.apache.cocoon.servlet.CocoonServlet.init(CocoonServlet.java:305)
at org.apache.catalina.core.StandardWrapper.load(Unknown Source)
That's with avalon-framework-4.1.jar and avalon-excalibur-20011212.jar. With an
excalibur built from CVS, it works again.
--Jeff
PS, in case Ovidiu is reading: last I saw, Anteater was pretty usable.
Anything happened since about a Cocoon unit testing suite? I can help get
something going..

I'll be sure to add in the 1.3 compatibility flags for the compiler....
I tend to forget that I have JDK 1.4 running. If everything is compiled with
JDK 1.4, the whole thing runs wonderfully.
I will also have to re-release Avalon Framework. Sigh.

Ah, ok, you're right.
Html, not xml.

Yes and no.
I would (personally) prefer a more complete solution in place, so
I would +1 on extending Cactus to assert and check on xml-output.
I think Cactus is needed anyay for serious testing of Cocoon, so
why keep two systems in place? One would not be used.
As for ant tasks:
<include>
This tutorial explains how start Cactus tests from your Ant build script
(i.e. build.xml).
The Ant tasks involved for running a Cactus test are the following :
a.. Step 0 : (optional) Deploy configuration files for your container,
b.. Step 1 : Package your Cactus tests as a WAR file and deploy it to
your servlet engine webapps directory,
c.. Step 2 : Start your servlet engine if it is not already started,
d.. Step 3 : Run the tests using JUnit,
e.. Step 4 : Stop the servlet engine (if need be)
Cactus provides a custom Ant task (called the runservertests task) that
helps perform all these tasks. The rest of this tutorial will explain how to
write an Ant build file (build.xml) that performs these tasks and use the
Cactus custom Ant task.
</include>
Does it make sense?

Cleverly combining the heaviness of Cactus (you'd still need the
server-side portion, I'd bet) with the relative uselessness of HttpUnit
for XML testing (it is heavily HTML-oriented).
(No offense to Vincent.. I hope he's not reading;)
Give me a lightweight set of Ant tasks any day :) Try it.. I bet you'd
agree.

Taken from cactus site:
<include>
HttpUnit integration
The HttpUnit integration is only available for Cactus v1.2 and
later. It won't work with version 1.1 and earlier.
Cactus test cases allow to assert the results of the returned server
output stream in an endXXX() method (where XXX is the name of your test
case).
Cactus proposes 2 ways of writing your endXXX() methods,
a.. Method 1 : it allows you to do simple check on the returned
stream like checking for returned cookies, HTTP headers and to do assertions
on the returned content as a String,
b.. Method 2 : it allows you to do complex and powerful assertions
on the returned content. For example, you can get an HTML DOM view of your
returned HTML page and check that a given named table has the correct number
of columns, ....
Method 2 is supported through the integration with HttpUnit, meaning
you'll benefit from the full assertion power of HttpUnit in your endXXX()
method. Method 1 is a class provided by Cactus.
Depending on your need you can choose, on a per test case basis, the
method you want to use.

Cactus does it too.
And when Cactus is in place, other types of tests can be done.

Not appropriate, I think. Cactus is for poking and testing internal
classes running in the server. I just want to see if the pages come up
okay (black-box testing, not white-box testing). Currently they don't.
It would be great if Gump could alert people to this, instead of suckers
like me ;P
Anteater is a bunch of Ant tasks for doing HTTP-based functional
testing. Eg, hit a URL, get back the contents and test it in some way.
There's predefined tests ("matchers"), like checking XML against an
XPath expression, or a text against a regexp.
