Re: [Marathonman-devel] Feature request: negative asserts

[Sandy D. <sd...@cs...>]

I also have a need for this type of feature.  The application I'm testing
has dynamic interfaces (e.g., components show/hide depending on user
actions).  For now, my solution has been to write my own assert function
that catches the exception thrown by Marathon.  For example:

# Verifies that a component that should be hidden is not visible
def assertComponentNotPresent(component_name):
	from marathon.playback import *

	# try to get a component that should not be visible
	try:
		click(component_name)
	except
net.sourceforge.marathon.component.ComponentNotFoundException:
		# if the component is not present, catch the exception
thrown by
		# marathon so the test does NOT fail.
		print('Window component \'' + component_name + '\' is not
visible - okay')
		return
	
	# no exception was caught, so the component is visible; fail the
test!
	fail('Window component \'' + component_name + '\' is visible but
should not be!')


It is probably not good practice to use Marathon exception classes directly,
but I don't have a better way to do what I need.

Subject: [Marathonman-devel] Feature request: negative asserts

I have a small feature request - negative assertions (i.e. assertions which
check non-existance of properties, windows, etc.).

For example, I have a test where user with administrator access logs into my
application and then another administrator user revokes priviledges of the
first user and my application immediately disables administrator options for
the first user in its UI.

Currently, I don't know how to test it with Marathon because I can't assert
that there's no component with a particular name.
