Cucumber + Wicket
Somehow the ruby guys get sexy things done and I often think: why
can't I have that? They also have a knack for naming things in a fun,
but good way. Enter Cucumber.
Cucumber is a Behavior Driven Development tool, and brings human
readable, testable specifications to programming. You can find more
about Cucumber on their website [1], and I urge you to take a look at
the Railscasts [2,3,4] to see it in action. I found it really
enlightening to see this in action and wanted it for myself.
If you're too lazy: this is how a testable, human readable Cucumber
specification looks like:
Feature: Helloworld
In order to greet the world
As a user
I want to see the text Hello World in a browser window.
Scenario: Hello World
Given I am viewing the home page
Then I should see "Hello World"
Running this using maven results in:
[INFO] Feature: Helloworld
[INFO] In order to greet the world
[INFO] As a user
[INFO] I want to see the text Hello World in a browser window.
[INFO]
[INFO] Scenario: Hello World # features/helloworld.feature:7
[INFO] Given I am viewing the home page # WicketSteps.iAmViewing(String)
[INFO] Then I should see "Hello World" # WicketSteps.iShouldSee(String)
Fortunately for us Java weenies, Aslak Hellesøy has created a Java
implementation of Cucumber, and even enabled it for use within Maven:
cuke4duke.
Over new years I've been trying to see if I could get it to work with
Wicket, and those efforts are now available for anyone to take a look
at:
http://github.com/dashorst/cucumber-wicket
There's not much to see (yet), and I'm hoping for some feedback as to
how you would write your own specifications. Is this something you get
excited about?

Martijn, I've been using Jbehave+Jmock for some time now it has a
similar functionality..
And have been pondering on doing a integration. I did something very
basic back in 2008.

I've updated the project and now the Click counter scenario also works.
The project also contains a couple of extensions to WicketTester
making it easier to find components in a rendered page. See
http://github.com/dashorst/cucumber-wicket/tree/master/src/test/java/org/apache/wicket/tester/
for the matchers.
