WWW::Mechanize 0.37 released

2003-03-04 Thread Andy Lester
There's a new version of WWW::Mechanize for you people who do automated testing with it. It adds a title() and is_html() method, and removes the dependency on Clone, which I hope will fix stability issues on Windows. xoa -- Andy Lester, lead singer & driver of the Winnebago [EMAIL PROTECTED],

Damn. I still forgot to check out this incredible cool sounding module, I have some HTML-output testing in a testsuite and it is very whacky and uncomplete... I'd be glad to look at it, and see what kinds of things Mechanize can do. xoa -- Andy Lester, lead singer & driver of the Winnebago [EMA

You could allow the user to choose between internal and external tests, where the internal tests are much simpler, maybe including a trivial self-contained webserver to make sure everything works. Help me out here. I'm trying to imagine why someone would want WWW::Mechanize without a net connecti

I installed it on a machine at work, and a large number of tests failed because the machine has no access to the outside world. Fixing that is probably more effort than it is worth, but you might want to keep it in mind for the next major rewrite. There really aren't many tests that are meaningful

For example, we use it at work for testing our web applications. The slightly overly-secure server we use for developing can not see the Internet, but it can test on localhost or other internal servers. (There's a local CPAN mirror and other such things to make it bearable). I've created RT ticket
