Today's my ESME day (once I get the kids to school) and I would be interested in writing a few Lift testkit examples (folks on the Lift list have been asking for them). Specifically, testkit is (supposed) to be wired to certain hints that are emitted as part of running the code in test mode so that it's (1) faster than selenium but (2) it still goes through the container (an instance of Jetty is started) so that you're getting a full-stack test (well, except for the JavaScript, which requires the likes of selenium). > > D > > > On Tue, Nov 10, 2009 at 9:11 AM, Vassil Dichev <[email protected]> wrote: > > Tests and documentation are definitely priority No.1 for me for the > > next couple of months. > > > > From my previous experience with Cactus the framework starts the > > container and connects to the test runner inside the container, which > > then has all the contexts it needs.
