Basic question about T5 and tests

[Julien Martin <ba...@gmail.com>]

Hello,

I am in reference to the following page:
http://tapestry.apache.org/unit-testing-pages-or-components.html

In the form testing section the code goes as follows:

 Element form = doc.getElementById("*form1*");

What is actually meant by "*form1*"? The *t:id* or the actual *client* *id*?

If it is the client id, then how do I assign a client id to a beaneditform?

Thanks in advance,

Julien.

Hi

In tapestry t:id is the unique id of a component within a container
component which can be used to refer to the component in the java
class. The components that needs to use client id(javascript id)
implements ClientElement interface which has a single method
getClientId() that returns the client id. The components that allow
you to set the client id usually have a parameter 'clientid' except
for zone in which case there is an id parameter. You can check the
component reference for Tapestry version < 5.3 and javadoc for
Tapestry version >= 5.3 to see if a component provides such a
parameter.

The t:id(component id) and client id(javascript id) can be the same if
there is only one component with a particular t:id on the page.

So to answer your questions

It is the client id not the t:id which you can pass to the script
using javaScriptSupport.addScript or addInitializerCall methods

BeanEditForm implements ClientElement so you can use getClient() to
get the client id. You can pass this id to the script using
javaScriptSupport methods mentioned above.
