I think that the grinder httpunit and other functional testing approaches
are subtly different. We use the grinder, although I haven't, but my
recollection is that it is more for load testing, rather than coverage.
We use selenium (it has been custom modified) for coverage. It was difficult
at first because it was not realised that mainly the only way to touch each
componenet on the page was by introducing xpath, this in turn has meant
examining each page using firefox's dom inspector, OK once you get into the
swing of it. There are seperate issues here about unique ids for componants
or lack of, entailing use of xpath.
Interestingly, junit often has to behave a bit like a functional testing
client using Tapestry. Here is an example:-
Developing a component modification that entails the use of thread local
means that the unit test must closely mirror anticipated use by the web
client. Specifically new server objects should be created to be consumed in
each test bank, or possibly a new unit test for this purpose.
But we have other cases where using the Creator class would be very useful.
I haven't done this and would like to learn more as this would be a window
into the application that might make code modifications and extensions
easier.

The Grinder works perfectly for all kinds of web
sites, it is not limited to Tapestry.
Examples are here:

Please ignore rest of the materials because they are
not finalized and have many broken links and errors.

Could you elaborate on this? Is that for Tapestry 4??
Could you post one of your component testing example?? I'd really like
to do that!

Once again, not quite what you're looking for, but I've taken the
suggestion in the User Guide to use listeners primarily as marshalers
for delegating to services. The services are then easily testable.

AW: How to write unit test for tapestry 4?
Posted by "Ralf E. Stranzenbach" <ra...@reswi.de>.
Hi,
besides of testing the application at a whole (based on Grinder or
httpunit), has anyone succeeded check the Pages or Components directly
simulating the request (like StrutsTest) ?
I'm strongly interested in examples. I tried to understand examples that
were delivered with Tapestry 4.0b2 but unfortunately due to my limited time
I failed in this topic...

The Grinder website makes it sound much more for load testing than
either unit or integration testing.
I think you'll have more luck with something like Selenium (http://
selenium.thoughtworks.com/), or Watir (http://wtr.rubyforge.org/) for
integration testing.

I haven't used grinder, but I have used httpunit and found it incredibly
painful to get working properly in junit...I'm using testng now but have
since ditched all of that code in favor of tapestrys built-in "Creator"
class. It lets you call all of the methods on your page/components, which is
perfect for functional tests..
I don't know what you'd use for integration type tests...Maybe grinder?

I think Http unit is the best way to go for web page testing.
I'd be curious to know if there are any ways to test components.
