[Htmlunit-user] A complete file to get started; a couple of questions

[Jim L. <jli...@ad...>]

I'm an HtmlUnit newbie, completely.  Definitely excited about the
potential of HtmlUnit, as we are using JUnit quite successfully, and
Silk is being used by QA.  We need web-level testing controlled and
regularly run by our programmers, and I'm hoping that HtmlUnit will do
the trick.

BTW, another guy here was messing with Cactus, but found it difficult to
use.  I don't know many details, but are people on this list using
Cactus successfully, or have you found it a pain in the neck?

Anyway, I found that just getting started was a little harder than
expected.  First, there was no complete file, just fragments.  It was
not clear which URL class was to be used (Eclipse found
org.apache.catalina.util.URL and java.util.URL).  It wasn't clear if we
should extend TestCase or womething else.  Then, when I ran the
fragment, I got the ScriptException - fortunately, I found the fix
several months into the archive.  And finally, the title on the page had
changed, so the test didn't work.

Does anyone know why I can't run javascript from the page?  Is it the
google ads again, as in the October '03 thread?  Or something I am doing
wrong, like only using the minimally required jars?

Finally, I think it would be helpful to post an entire minimal file that
people could use to get started.  Here is one:

page.getTitleText());
