Re: [ANNOUNCE] RoboWeb 1.0b, web application test suite generator

2001-07-20 Thread jh_lists

 I have developed a semi-automatic test generator for web applications.
 I've called it RoboWeb and it's now available for download from
 sourceforge, hoping that it can be useful to others.
 
Unbelievable... Three days ago I looked for something suitable for
writing test suites and came up a blank, so for the last 3 days I've been
writing WWW::Automate. And now this great looking package appears when
I'm 75% done!

Anyhow, I'll finish what I'm doing over the weekend and release it, since
it has some different functionality to RoboWeb, including finding form
elements to fill in based on their relationship to other elements (e.g.
the text field after the text 'User Name:' or The checkbox in the
table column headed 'Flag', in the 3rd row).

We should investigate how these 2 projects can work together when I'm
done so that RoboWeb 'recorded' sessions can create WWW::Automate methods
that utilise the structure of the page. The benefits of doing this are:
 1- Resultant scripts are easier to interpret
 2- Scripting apps that vary their form field names works.

Long time ago I've started working on Apache::Benchmark, but have never
had a chance to finish it. The first working prototype is available from
here: http://stason.org/works/modules/Apache-Benchmark-0.01.tar.gz (but
was never released on CPAN).

One of these days I'll get back to work on and probably base it on
Apache::Test or even merge it in, since the two have a lot in common.

Perl::Flash PerlFlash

2001-07-20 Thread Jónas Tryggvi Jóhannsson

Hi,
I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with the Perl::Flash
(http://www.2shortplanks.com/flash/) or the PerlFlash
(http://www.the-labs.com/PerlFlash/) packages.  The deal is that both
modules have problems with converting images (gif  jpeg) to the SWF format.
When this is done, the modules both seem to print out blank spaces where the
picture should've went.
Has anyone experience this problem or/and fixed it perhaps, or is this just
a stupid mistake on my behalf?

I've included the code I use to do this below (in case this is a programming
error).
Any suggestions/comments would be well appreciated.

P.S. If anyone knows about any other PERL Flash modules, please don't
hesitate to mention them ;)

CODE: (PerlFlash Test (http://www.the-labs.com/PerlFlash/)
===
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

  ###
  # PerlFlash Wrapper test  #
  ###

use Flash;

Flash::open('test.swf',256,256,20);
Flash::ortho2(-100,100,-100,100);
Flash::defineBitmap(1,test.jpg);
Flash::placeObject(1,50);
Flash::showFrame();
Flash::close;

I don't know if this could be related to your problem but last I checked 
those modules hadn't been updated in quite a while, and were both incomplete 
in terms of implementation. If their authors have stopped working on them, 
then it is possible that there are pending bugs that are unresolved, and may 
unfortunately never be fixed.

Well, it's probably not _the_ answer but have you considered using SVG 
instead of Flash ? SVG can do what Flash does and more, and its only problem 
(lack of wide user base) is being solved at great pace by the fact that Adobe 
are bundling their SVG plugin with Acrobat Reader, meaning millions of people 
are getting SVG every day. SVG is XML so it's really easy to generate it from 
Perl (just like HTML) using some template system or AxKit. Just gzip the 
output and you're done :)

Prototype mismatch using

2001-07-20 Thread walter . lievens

Windows 2000
Apache/1.3.19 (Win32) mod_perl/1.26_01-dev


Hi all,


I have a very simple cgi script:
 #!c:/perl/bin/perl.exe

 use constant   TEST = 'test';

 print Content-Type: text/plain\n\n;
 print = TEST = @{[TEST]}\n;



I get stuck with the following warning in my error log:
 Prototype mismatch: sub Apache::ROOT::perl::test::test_2ecgi::TEST vs
() at c:/Perl/lib/constant.pm line 91.

It only seems to appear when I use Apache::PerlRun. When the script is
executed with Apache::Registry, no such error appears...


Has anybody a clue to avoid this error? I looked in google and
groups.google for solutions, but I didn't find any...


I configured my Apache as follows:

snippet of http.conf:

IfModule mod_alias.c
 ### snip ###
 Alias /perl D:/develop/perl
 Alias /mod_perl D:/develop/perl

 ### snip ###

 Location ~ ^\/perl\/.*\.cgi$
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::PerlRun
  Options +ExecCGI
 /Location


 Location ~ ^\/mod_perl\/.*\.cgi$
  SetHandler perl-script
  PerlHandler Apache::Registry
  Options +ExecCGI
 /Location
/IfModule


The goal is testing my perl cgi-scripts with PerlRun or Registry, dependent
on the alias 'perl' or 'mod_perl'.


Kind regards,

Walter Lievens

2001-07-20 Thread Soheil Seyfaie


hi,

I'm the author of the ming XS code. I posted it to the ming mailing list a
while back but didn't have the chance to fix all bugs/memory leaks. I
don't really recommend using it under mod_perl. Though I got involved in
other projects and didn't work on it for a long time, I have a much
improved version which I never posted. Please contact me privately if you
need further info (I assume that ming is OT).

Thanks

Yes, I've been helping Simon Wistow with Perl::Flash stuff. He's
presenting a talk about it at the O'Reilly Open Source conference next
week and the code has changed a lot recently (and not the website
;-). However, at the moment it's more geared towards parsing Flash
files rather than generating them. Please check out the CVS code at:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/gravel/ or join the mailing list at
http://www.astray.com/mailman/listinfo/gravel or come and talk to us
in the conference ;-)
