Great! I didn't want to spam the dev list with what will probably turn
out to be usage questions.
I initially have two questions that will most likely lead into others.
Question 1 -- Selecting a form
Our app frequently has multiple forms per page. Depending on what the
user chooses to do, one or the other will be submitted. How can I tell
latka which form should receive the parameters defined in its input file?
For instance:
<ul>
<li><a href="javascript:editUser('james');">James</a>
...
</ul>
<a href="javascript:neverMind();"><img src="forgetIt.gif" border="0"></a>
<form name="editUserForm" action="EditUser.do">
<input type="hidden" name="userName"/>
</form>
<form name="neverMindForm" action="CancelProcess.do">
<input type="hidden" processName="editUser"/>
</form>
<script ...>
function editUser(theUser) {
document.editUserForm.userName.value = theUser;
document.editUserForm.submit();
}
function neverMind() {
document.neverMindForm.submit();
}
</script>
Question 2 -- Preserving values for "playback"
In reality, the user add process would create users with automatically
generated unique IDs. So instead of this:
<li><a href="javascript:editUser('james');">James</a>
we would have this:
<li><a href="javascript:editUser('1234');">1234</a> James</li>
In order to test the user-add process completely I would define my
testcase along these lines:
A) Invoke AddUser.do
B) Populate that form with some test user data. Let's say the username
is "TestUserFoo"
C) Submit the form
D) Invoke ListUsersForEdit.do
E) Apply an xpath along these lines to locate the user I just added:
//li[contains(.,"TestUserFoo")]/a
(that may not be perfectly correct but you get the idea)
F) Use the getText() value of the 'a' element located to invoke
DisplayUser.do?uid=whatever
Thanks,
James
