#82 Testing calls to javascript functions

[Bernard de Terwangne]

Add a function to do a javascript function call. Retrieving the result of the call would be nice to have (ie for asserting its content or passing it to another call)

Julien,

Just to bring some contribution I made a first trial of implementation of this function. Not sure all is done the right way. Anyway, here it is (from HtmlUnitDialog) :

public Object executeJavascriptIfPossible(String sourceCode, String elementId)
{
Page page = win.getEnclosedPage();
if (page instanceof HtmlPage)
{
HtmlPage htmlPage = (HtmlPage) page;
HtmlElement htmlElement = elementId == null ? null : getElement(elementId);
ScriptResult scriptResult = htmlPage.executeJavaScriptIfPossible(sourceCode, "jsWebUnit", true, htmlElement);
Page newPage = scriptResult.getNewPage();
if (null != newPage)
{
win.setEnclosedPage(newPage);
form = null;
}
return scriptResult.getJavaScriptResult();
}
return null;
}

Amicalement,

Bernard

I will look at adding this to JWebUnit 2.1. While not strictly part of web application testing (we are testing black-box), it would be useful to have the ability to white-box test the Javascript.
