Selenium and Tomahawk Components

[Murat Hazer <mu...@gmail.com>]

Hi,

I am trying to test my application using selenium IDE, but selenium is not
able to record/test JSCookMenu links.

is there any solution?

regards...

Ok, Murat, sorry it took me a day longer, but I sent
you the code give it a try, it should work with selenium
since it uses standard command links as links in the menu.


As for all others, please be patient, the renderer
will be committet, but I have to do some fixup upfront
to remove the one menu per page limitation, if possible.

I think the easiest way would be to deploy the latest
myfaces-example-simple.war,  record some tests with Selenium IDE, (and
add comments), then save as HTML and attach it to the issue in JIRA:

  http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-583

You can download a nightly build of  tomahawk-examples-1.1.5-SNAPSHOT,
which contains the myfaces-example-simple webapp, here:

Selenium can record t:outputlink and t:datatable and t:datalist and other
simple components but i am not able to try other complex components because
most of the navigation in my application is depend on jscookmenu :( so
selenium can't navigate other pages

I think web tests(acceptance tests) are important, and selenium makes these
tests very easy. I don't have too much time but if you tell me how can i
contribute i'll try to allocate some time for it...

Thx for replies....

selenium is an acceptance test tool and seleniumIDE is a firefox extension.
Looks nice, but not used ;)

Murat, are you able to provide test case for some
other components? Tests are not that much available
for tomahawk :( So, I'd like to see work on that area ;)

not sure what selenium is, but the jscookmenu is somewhat problematic
because it triggers internally a bug in ie, which does not allow outside
tools to get the ids of the spans which should replace the links.
(I found that out the hard a few days ago when I was investigating
a bugreport on the state change notifier not being triggered by the
jscook menu)

I have a replacement which is not yet fully committable to myfaces
due to an inherent javascript problem which does not allow more than one
menu per page.
But if you need it upfront, send me a private mail, and I will contact
you regarding it.

The fix is a different menu which basically alters standard datalists
into menus via a combination of css and javascript, I wrote a renderer
for that code, and it will be committed once I am done with my backlog.
But as I said, if you need it upfront, send me a private mail.

If you have time and would like to contribute, we'd love to have more
Selenium tests for the MyFaces example apps.

I've added a couple for the myfaces-simple app, but got stuck [1] on
the tree2 component which seems to render differently on IE and
Firefox (so XPath expressions won't work) and does not provide unique
ids for all of its elements.

More info here:  http://myfaces.apache.org/tomahawk/testing/selenium.html

TOMAHAWK-583 is open for discussion (and patches):
