[Simpletest-support] Possible improvement

[Thomas <th...@fr...>]

Hi,

I wonder why the WebTestCase.setField(name, value) method doesn't=20
automatically calls assertField(name)

Re: [Simpletest-support] How to test the content of a web page ?

[Marcus B. <ma...@la...>]

Hi...

I fully understand why this was a problem. I meant to document it, but 
simply forgot. Sorry :(.

I do actually follow the HTML spec here and for once so do the browsers. 
Trouble is the spec is decidedly wierd. The value of a checked checkbox 
is the value attribute, but it doesn't even appear if unchecked. The 
default for the value attribute is "on" (I kid you not).

You actually want...

$this->setField('spamassassin', 'on');

I may add a (boolean) true default to mean whatever the value is ('on' 
by default) when setting this type of field.

To uncheck it...

$this->setField('spamassassin', false);

Hi Marcus,

I'm still having problem with the lack of documentation, the doc doesn't=20
explain how to set a non multiple value check box (I have looked through =
the=20
code too! ) :

Spamassassin enabled ? <input name=3D"spamassassin" type=3D"checkbox"=20
class=3D"textfield">

I have tried this :

$this->setField('spamassassin', 'checked');
$this->setField('spamassassin', true);

It doesn't check.

Thanks for your help

That is for selection fields and check boxes that can have multiple
values. As radio groups can only have one value at a time you can go...

$this->setField('confirm', 1);

[Simpletest-support] Line numbers of failed assertions

[Yaroslav D. <ya...@wa...>]

Hello guys,

I just wanted to share a finding that saved me considerable amount of 
typing today. But it requires XDebug (www.xdebug.org).

------------------------------
Index: simple_test.php         
===================================================================
RCS file: /cvsroot/simpletest/simpletest/simple_test.php,v
retrieving revision 1.57       
diff -r1.57 simple_test.php    
269a270                        
 >                 return TRUE; 
271c272,273                    
<                 $this->fail($message);
---                            
 >                 $this->fail($message. " "."Called @ 
".xdebug_call_file().":".xdebug_call_line()." from 
".xdebug_call_function());
 >                 return FALSE;
-------------------------------

I.e. when assertTrue() fails, the message also includes the source line 
number. Before that, when I extensively used constructs like this:

            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("accounts", "1 Month 
Pass"), "Failed to set 'accounts' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("username", 
"yar_auto_test"), "Failed to set 'username' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("fname", "AutomaticTest"), 
"Failed to set 'fname' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("lname", "ByYar"), "Failed 
to set 'lname' field.");
            $this->assertTrue($this->setField("payment", "worldpay"), 
"Failed to set 'payment' field.");
            $this->clickSubmit('Submit My Order');

it was sometimes too boring to type in multiple messages, and without 
these custom messages it was impossible to locate the error. Now it prints:

"1) True assertion got False Called @ 
/var/www/virtualhosts/someproject.com/tests/test.php:82 from 
testsubscription
        in testsubscription"

Best wishes,
Yar

Hi Thomas,

I think you are looking for something like:

function testCreateUser() {
   $this->get("http://foo.com/userlist.php");
   $browser =& $this->GetBrowser();
   $content = $browser->GetContent();
   if (preg_match($some_pattern, $content)) { 
      ...
   } else {
      ...
   }
}

Regards,

Jason

[Simpletest-support] How to test the content of a web page ?

[Thomas <th...@fr...>]

Hi,

I'm writing a basic test TestUserCreation :

function testCreateUser() {
   $this->get("http://foo.com/userlist.php");
   # $this->showSource() dump a list of users
   # here I would like to create user joe
   # I know that joe may exist so I have to test if joe
   # is in the current page in order to delete if before
   # create it again

There are some functions (assertWantedPattern) that let you check that so=
me=20
pattern is in the page, but there is no function to test without any fail=
ure=20
if some pattern is in the page

I would like a function testPattern(string $pattern)

If you think that is not a good idea, how can I write a clean test that=20
doesn't depend on weither user joe exist in the page or not.

Thanks

Re: [Simpletest-support] webform test not following redirect

[Culley H. <cu...@fa...>]

Hurm.  You are right this was just a browser issue.  I changed the 
button value to 'test' and it follows the redirect.  Unfortunately in a 
more complicated real-world example where all the buttons have values I 
am still seeing this problem.  I will spend some more time on this and 
try to get you another working example.

I suspect that most of the time people will be testing properly formed 
html but I suppose it could happen that you might have to write test 
cases for a garbage form like this.  Number 2 would work even though 
theoretically someone could have 3 or 4 buttons on a form with no 
values and different names.  I don't know what the point of such a form 
would be but it could happen I guess.

How about both?  Try your best to guess and maybe throw a php warning 
so it will notify the user but not kill the process.

Only Mozilla gives the button this label. Because the value is not

$this->clickSubmit('Submit');

There are two issues raised by this:
1) Should I throw a PHP error (exception) if the label is not present in

Re: [Simpletest-support] Re: SimpleTest - support for proxy

[Jason S. <jsw...@ya...>]

Still seem to be having issues with this:

FIRST: using curl via command line to prove proxy is sane:

$ curl --proxy http://localhost:18080 www.yahoo.com | wc
  % Total    % Received % Xferd  Average Speed          Time             Curr.
                                 Dload  Upload Total    Current  Left    Speed

    317    2153   33571


SECOND: test using the webtester:

$ php proxyl.php
Test Proxy
1) True assertion got False
        in testget
FAILURES!!!
Test cases run: 1/1, Passes: 0, Failures: 1, Exceptions: 0


THIRD: this is the script:

$ cat proxyl.php
<?php
define('SIMPLETEST','../simpletest/');
require_once(SIMPLETEST . 'web_tester.php');
require_once(SIMPLETEST . 'reporter.php');

SimpleTestOptions::useProxy('http://localhost:18080');

class TestProxy extends WebTestCase
{
        function TestProxy($psName='') {
                $this->WebTestCase($psName);
        }
        function TestGet() {
                $this->assertTrue($this->get('http://www.yahoo.com/'));
        }

}

$test = &new TestProxy('Test Proxy');
if (TextReporter::inCli()) {
        exit ($test->run(new TextReporter()) ? 0 : 1);
}
$test->run(new HtmlReporter());

Just extend WebTestCase rather than UnitTestCase.  For example, I wanted to be
able to have the first few tests as if you were a new user, and then the
majority of the test run as if you had just completed logging into the site.

One choice for me would have been to make to test cases, one that would be the
"new user" and another that would do the login in the setup() method.  

However I did not want to actually login each time, so instead I wanted to
"save" a copy of the browser as it exited the moment I finished logging in, and
then use that browser for the rest of the test cases.  To do this, I needed a
"setBrowser()" method that does not exist on the WebTestCase.  In the same file
as my test case, I defined:

class ReuseWebTestCase extends WebTestCase {
	function ReuseWebTestCase($name=false) {
		$this->WebTestCase($name);
	}
	function setBrowser(&$browser) {
		$this->_browser =& $browser;
	}
}

[Simpletest-support] Proxy support is rumored to be working

[Marcus B. <ma...@la...>]

Hi.

The latest CVS snapshot has proxy support.

If you are using the browser directly...

$browser = &new SimpleBrowser();
$browser->useProxy('http://my-proxy:8081', 'Me', 'Secret');

The username and password are optional. If you just want to use a proxy 
by default just put this at the start of the tests...

SimpleTestOptions::useProxy('http://my-proxy:8081', 'Me', 'Secret');

To run the all_tests.php file from a shell...

php <<here
require_once('../options.php');
SimpleTestOptions::useProxy('http://my-proxy:8081');
include('all_tests.php');
here

The WebTestCase is just a facade over a single SimpleBrowser instance. 
If you want power over readability then you can do this...

class MyTests extends UnitTestCase {
     function MyTests() {
         $this->UnitTestCase();
     }
     function testPickingApartAPage() {
         $browser = &new SimpleBrowser();
         $browser->get('http://my-site.com');
         $content = $browser->getContent();
         preg_match('/results (\d+)/', $content, $matches);
         ...
         $this->assertNotNull(...);
     }
}

Of course I haven't documented this anywhere yet :(.

> I haven't needed this but I could see how it might

I have a rule that if two people ask for something, then I put it in. 
However in this case there is overlap with other parts of the library. I 
really want to keep each part as simple as possible to use (one of the 
guidelines of the library) and so I am getting quite fierce at blocking 
requests for extra assertions.

Is this workaround sufficient?

There were a few bugs (to say the least) in parsing the location URL and 
it seems I have now dropped the additional parameters in the redirect.
