I didn't want to do any mocking, so I kept the code that relied on XHR roundtrips isolated from the rest. I think that led to good factoring. > One example of how I did this for a recent test I wrote can be > seen in lp/app/javascript/tests/test_multicheckboxwidget.js where I > implement a patch request stub.

Showing how to mock XHR might be a useful addition to the testing page. > You really only need Windmill when you want to check > that data sent from the client is correctly stored/processed on the > server side, not simply to check that the ui updates after a user > initiated action. By "user-initiated action", do you you mean simulating mouse clicks? I would have though you'd be testing callbacks rather than the actual UI. > Note: javascript tests are run by a harness in the Windmill layer.

That would also let us to run all the YUI tests interactively, which would be nice. But I think it was *Windmill* that failed, not its tests. So using Windmill to run just the YUI tests could also be problematic.
