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.
Yes, and there is a selenium test regarding AllDocs that obviously depends
on the livetable.
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.
Absolutely true, but you need to lauch more than a browser for proper test,
you had to test all of them. If I take the livetable, there is not much JS
and the chance to break it by mistake is not so important, but on the other
side, the risk to break it in one browser and not in another, is really
bigger.
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
Unit testing would be nice, but functional test IMO will provide more. For
functional test, you need to have more complete samples than just AllDocs.
These samples could be nice demo of the capacities of XWiki, so it could be
worth to write them. Also, extending current selenium test to other pages
that use the livetable could be a simple way to start.
Once again, I am sorry but I could not do that right now, but I would help
as much as I can if you decide to go ahead.

wdyt ?
Jerome.
I am not used to such automated testing,
but I
am not sure the investment is worse the improvement we could get from
them.
On the other side, I use livetables JS heavily, so you could be
assured that
my fixes/improvements are either well tested or will be fixed ASAP
since all
changes I introduce is already in production. We also usually test
them on
all supported browsers, and at least on IE6/7/8, FF3 (Win/Mac),
Safari4
(Mac) and Chrome (Mac)
FYI, I found this one when we have introduced the usage of hashes to
provide
"Back to the list" links. I will soon commit an improvement supporting
the
page size in hash as well, so you can really get very precise "back to
the
list" return links.
Denis
