Yep, I'm in the same boat.  That's why the shipped NUnitAsp tests are
so... um... sparse.  Still, since none of my tests are using
DropDownListTester, I'm going to have to write tests for it before I'll
feel comfortable including it.

RE: [NUnitAsp-devl] DropDownListTester code

[<dp...@tw...>]

I assign the copyright for DropDownListTester.cs to Jim Little and Brian
Knowles.

As for tests, I don't have any tests I wrote to test this code.  Instead,
I'm using this class in tests I'm writing for our system.

If you have tests for this class, please send them along as well.  If
not, it may take me a little longer to integrate the class into the
project.  Also, I'll need your permission to place our standard
copyright header on the file.  Something along the lines of "I assign
the copyright for DropDownListTester.cs to Jim Little and Brian Knowles"
should do the trick.  (I am not a lawyer, so who knows for sure.)

PS: I realize that asking for tests is a bit hypocritical, given the
tests I (neglect to) supply.  Oh well.

Glad to hear it!  If the files are less than 10K or so, just go ahead
and email them to the list as an attachment.  If that doesn't work, you

[NUnitAsp-devl] New build script checked in

[Jim L. <jl...@cu...>]

I've checked in a new NUnitAsp.build script that incorporates Owen's
improvements.  Unfortunately, I had trouble getting the built-in <nant>
task to work, so I hacked around it for now by just calling the
command-line version.  Could someone take a look at it and see if they
can get the build script to use the <nant> task? 

Thanks,
Jim

[NUnitAsp-devl] DropDownListTester

[<dp...@tw...>]

I've developed a DropDownListTester for a project I'm currently working on.
What would be the best way to submit the code for inclusion?

For those interested, the tester lets you get at the items in the list, find
out which item is selected, and to select items.  When you select an item on
a postback drop down list box, it will perform the postback for you.

Thanks,

RE: [NUnitAsp-devl] CVS and compile problems

[Jim L. <jl...@cu...>]

From: R. Owen Rogers [mailto:ow...@ex...] 
> have you considered a .NET port of JTidy?

Tidy may be an option, but I'm going to look at a simple regex-based
parser first.  This parser is well on its way: see HtmlTagParser.  I
think CVS ate the test class I wrote.

The reason I'm looking at the regex route is that the XHTML parser is
our single biggest hotspot.  It's a huge performance sink.  So rather
than convert bad HTML into good HTML and parse it, I'd rather try a
different parsing approach altogether.

Agreed.  That's the another reason I want to move away from the XHTML
approach.

RE: [NUnitAsp-devl] CVS and compile problems

[Jim L. <jl...@cu...>]

Owen, thanks for the note about ControlTester.  I've removed the
obsolete version.

I'll be putting your updated build script in when I get the chance as
well.  It needs a few mods before it's ready, though.  (The 'dist'
target references a renamed target; 'all' has no description.)  I can
make those changes but I may not be able to get to until next week.

We've been wanting to create a "quick start" guide.  Your list of setup
issues is the perfect starting point for that.  Would you mind creating
an HTML document with that information for inclusion in the
distribution?

To those just getting started, Owen's notes (below) are a good start.
There's a few other things you should know:

4. The default VS.NET DTD is incorrect and will cause the NUnitAsp XHTML
parser to blow up.  Use the one in the tests instead.

5. The XHTML parser requires that the outermost <HTML> tagpair in your
document be upper-case.  You'll get a strange error if you use a
lower-case <html> tagpair.

Note-- It's my goal to move away from using .NET's XHTML parser, which
is finicky and produces unfriendly error messages, and instead roll our
own HTML parser.  That's probably not going to happen for several
months, though.

Subject: [NUnitAsp-devl] CVS and compile problems

CVS contains a deprecated version of the ControlTester class in
\NUnitAsp\source\NUnitAsp\AspTester.  The correct version of the file is
contained in \NUnitAsp\source\NUnitAsp\, so if anyone is having
compilation
problems, that could be the reason.

I have created a new version of the build file, attached below, that

the NUnitAsp tests to work properly.  Here are the steps that I took in
order to get everything to run.
1. In the Internet Services Manager, create a virtual folder called
'NUnitAsp' that points to $\NUnitAsp\source (where $ is your dev root)
2. Next, create a web application at the subfolder 'NUnitAspTestPages'
($\NUnitAsp\source\NUnitAspTestPages).  You can do this, by right

[NUnitAsp-devl] Socket Exception

[Jim L. <jl...@cu...>]

Lately, I've been seeing a weird socket exception with NUnitAsp.
Apparently IIS is closing the connection right in the middle of
returning data.  The problem is intermittent.  The status and
content-length headers returned by IIS are normal.
 
I've hacked around the problem for now by retrying the operation a few
times if the exception occurs.  I don't like this approach, but I
haven't been able to figure out a more complete solution.  I'd
appreciate it if someone on this list could take a whack at solving the
problem for real.  Perhaps we need to go back to using HttpWebRequest,
now that we know how to make it work with cookies.

I don't think anyone has given serious thought to joining the contrib
project, positive or negative.  It's something we might do in the
future.  What are the plusses and minuses of doing that?
 
> Also, how will you make sure to keep in step with changes to NUnit.

We won't release a version of NUnitAsp that requires NUnit 2.0 until
after 2.0 is officially released.  With that restriction in mind, our
schedule depends a great deal on the contributions we get.  If you would
like 2.0 support, please submit a patch.  :)

[NUnitAsp-devl] NUnitAsp, NUnit, and NunitContrib

[Morris, J. <jas...@in...>]

NunitAsp looks promising to me to help test web applications and web
services, however I was wondering why this is a separate project from NUnit
and now the NUnit contrib project.
 
I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings by not thinking that this project is
worthy of project status, but from my point of view (strictly a user of
these testing frameworks) I would like to see all of these in one place.  (I
also didn't like the fact that they separated out NUnitContrib from NUnit)
 
Also, how will you make sure to keep in step with changes to NUnit.  There
new 2.0 version beta is a lot different.

[NUnitAsp-devl] NUnitAsp v1.0 released

[Jim L. <jl...@wg...>]

NUnitAsp v1.0 has been released.  This is the first release of NUnitAsp.  I
decided to buck the open-source trend of using 0.x release numbers because I
think NUnitAsp is ready to be used.  There's plenty of room for
improvement -- particularly in the area of documentation -- but I've been
sitting on it for too long.

Go forth, download, use!  If you have problems or can't figure it out,
please post to the list.  We'll use the discussion here as a starting point
for documentation.  I hope to see a v1.1 out soon.

Many thanks to Brian Knowles for starting the project and helping me create
the release.

Claude,
 
Sorry to take so long to get back to you.  Unfortunately, I don't have
any thoughts on why your CVS isn't working.  It sounds like a routing
problem, not a CVS problem. are you able to ping
cvs.nunitasp.sourceforge.net?  Maybe it was just temporary downtime.
 
Thanks again for your offer of help.  Once you get up and running,
probably the most valuable thing you can do is to review the site
documentation we have so far (check out module "site") and give us
feedback.  Once you're familiar with NUnitAsp, there's a number of other
areas we could use assistance in as well.

Oh well.  I'm going to leave the code as it is for now, since it's
working.  HttpWebRequest is still fairly low level, so the code I have
now isn't too much more complicated than using HttpWebRequest would be.

If someone feels like refactoring the code to use HttpWebRequest
(again), please do.  Be careful of just backtracking, though, as I went
through and did some cleanup when I wrote the HTTP client.

Very nice, I'm glad you got this resolved.
  
I came across this message and was wondering if you
were aware of the cookie functionality in the
HttpWebRequest object.

===================================================
From:
http://www.dotnet247.com/247reference/msgs/16/84759.aspx

if you want to tell an HttpWebRequest to maintain
cookies between
requests, all you need to do is this:

HttpWebRequest r = (HttpWebRequest)
WebRequest.Create(myURI);
r.CookieContainer = new CookieContainer();

[NUnitAsp-devl] Cookie + Redirect problem fixed!

[Jim L. <jl...@cu...>]

Folks,
 
I've checked in a fix for the cookie + redirect problem.  If you're
tuning in late, this problem occurred if the ASP.NET application dropped
a cookie and then immediately redirected.  When that happened, the .NET
client code we were using automatically followed the redirect without
giving us a chance to store the cookie.
 
I couldn't figure out how to turn off the automatic .NET redirect, so I
ended up having to write my own HTTP client protocol.  That code resides
in HttpClient, which is the new name for "Browser."  All of the page
parsing code that used to be in Browser is now in "WebPage."
 
With this fix, we have no known defects.  Woo hoo!

I think NUnitAsp can test your code, but I need to understand what
you're doing a little better first.  You may need to create a test-bed
page in order to set up the session and redirect to your final page,
then hit the test-bed page with NUnitAsp.  But first, why can't you just
talk to the application and have the application set the session itself?
