I'm developing a product for Plone 3.3 that transforms url's in the
view of my content type, following Martin's book (which is now the
most worn out book on my shelf :-). The unit tests work fine, but a
functional test in zope.testbrowser failed. It turns out this is
caused by the url's of pages in the testbrowser.
The test begins with the ususal:
>>> from Products.Five.testbrowser import Browser
>>> browser = Browser()
>>> portal_url = self.portal.absolute_url()
Then it opens portal_url, adds folder 'ham', opens that folder and
adds a page 'spam'. In the test runner (bin/instance test -s
my.package) this results in the url:
(Pdb) print browser.url
http://nohost/plone/ham/spam
^^^^^^
When the site is accessed through Apache and VirtualHostBase, the
same page would have the url:
http://myhost/ham/spam
The difference is the extra '/plone' in the test runner, for the
plone site object in Zope's root. This causes my test for a root-
relative link to fail:
>>> '<a href="/eggs">' in browser.contents
True
... since in the test runner that link has become:
(Pdb) print browser.contents[15650:15670]
<a href="/plone/eggs">
Is there a way to have the test runner use VirtualHostBase, and get
urls that are the same as with interactive use through Apache and
VirtualHostBase?
Or is the custom solution to write the tests as if using Zope
directly, without Apache and VirtualHostBase?
testbrowser is a zope level testing tool so it doesn't know about
plone sites and it hooks in at a level after vhm.
I'd suggest just using
>>> print browser.contents
<html>
...'<a href=".../eggs">...
not as rigourous I know.
The more correct way would be to create a doctest normalizer that
adjusts url for tests. I'm not sure if that exists yet or not.
