Do we have a test for this? How do we unit-test UI components?
This would be nice to have. Building proper tests is not so easy, this
could
be very long to setup, since you need to test in several browsers and
you
need full AJAX interaction.
That's basically what we do with Selenium, except that we test the integration of the
features in the wiki, not the atomic behaviors of the components.
There isn't really an alternative to launching a browser for testing our JS
components, since most if not all of them heavily rely on a DOM, so just a JS runtime will
not be enough.
We could envisage a JS unit-testing system like this :
- Write tests in .js files, using JSUnit or any other unit testing JS framework
(
http://ejohn.org/blog/which-unit-testing-framework/)
- Slurp the tests in a XAR using a maven plugin
- Execute the tests inside XE, using Selenium
wdyt ?
Another alternative I investigated was to use JSUnit with an injected
DOM, from a HTML file placed in src/test/resources. I had a PoC with
this at one point, and it was working fine. I'll try to find it.
