Julien,

I have one more question. I think I found a bug in the code. What do I need to do to report and fix it? I'm new to open source development, and really appreciate your help.

Thanks,
- Clint

Hi Clint,

I will be very please to include your work of migrating to JUnit 4.

Some comments:

1) as far as I know we can't support 2 JUnit versions in the same Maven module as it is in the same groupId:artifactId. So I think it would be better to split in 2 separate modules. For example jwebunit- junit3-plugin and jwebunit-junit4-plugin. 2) All tests are written for JUnit3. So one big part of the job would be to migrate all tests to JUnit4. In a first place we could keep both JUnit 3 and JUnit 4 tests then deprecated progressively both JUnit 3 tests and jwebunit-junit3-plugin. 3) What is the purpose of the WebTestClientFactory? In case we have 2 seprate modules, users will only include one so they can safely inherit from WebTestCase (will be either JUnit3 or JUnit4 version depending on Maven dependency). If you prefer to have a clean separation then we can have two separates packages: net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.WebTestCase (old JUnit 3 is not renamed to keep backward compatibility)
net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit4.WebTestCase

To sum up, according to me, here are the task that need to be done:
1) Migrate WebTester to JUnit4
2) Improve WebTestCase generator to handle annotation when creating JUnit4 version of WebTestCase
3) Migrate JUnit tests
4) Improve project build => create 2 modules and deal with running both JUnit3 and JUnit4 version of the tests for both HtmlUnit and Selenium plugins.

If that seems too complicated for you (I can understand that) => simply focus on JUnit4 migration without keeping JUnit3. Even if some people complain, I think we can abandon JUnit3 support.

Regards,

Julien

Objet : [JWebUnit-development] Request to contribute for Port to JUnit4

Hi.
My name is Clint Kim, and I'd like to contribute to JWebUnit. Mainly,
I'd like to work on JUnit4 port.

I've used HttpUnit, HtmlUnit, JUnit, over the past years. I found that
JWebUnit to be very useful. However, my new project only works with
JUnit 4 (company policy). Hence, I'd need port that works with JUnit 4.

Here is my initial approach:

* Add a new interface: net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.WebTestHelper
(or WebTestSupport).
* Add a new class:
net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.WebTesterClientJUnit4 that implements
the above interface. (This should be a package-private class)
* Add a new class: net.sourceforge.jwebunit.api.WebTestClientFactory.
This factory could have the following methods:

    public static WebTestHelper createJUnit3Instance()
    public static  WebTestHelper createJunit4Instance()

* Deprecate class: net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.WebTester
* Make net.sourceforge.jwebunit.junit.WebTester implement WebTestHelper.

If this seems to be a lot of changes, we could go with a single new
class that uses JUnit 4 assertions (org.junit.Assert.*).

Thanks,
Clint
