Hi Remi,
this sounds like a good solution. As we do use AJAX in our Stripes apps,
we are using Selenium to test our apps. But for sure, canoo is a better
solution for this use case.
Maybe I will "steal" your testing practices for future non-ajax projects :-)
Greetings,
Marcus

Hi folks,
I think Stripes lacks some webtests to ensure it behaves as we want in
a web container. We have unit tests and mock roundtrip, but still,
many parts are not tested (taglib).
Bugzooky is supposed to show most of the major features, and it will
evolve as Stripes evolves, so testing against it seems reasonable.
Next step is to create dedicated apps/pages to test each feature in
isolation, and for each filed bug !
In order for us to write those tests, I've created a dedicated module
(named 'webtests') under the parent. It configures everything so that
we can write tests easily, and run them against the stripes-examples
war. It's included in the maven build, and activated only with the
profile 'webtests' (i.e. it won't fire for now if you only do mvn
clean install in the top level folder). We'll decide later on if we
want to include this in the continuous build...
There are many technologies that allow to do webtests. I've chosen
canoo, because :
* I've already used it and it took me 10 minutes to setup everything
* It doesn't depend on a browser, it's headless
* It integrates nicely to the build along with cargo
* It produces very high quality reports
* Writing tests with it is really easy, in Groovy, like this :
https://stripes.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/stripes/branches/1.5.x/webtests/src/test/groovy/net/sourceforge/stripes/webtests/calc/CalcTest.groovy
As we don't need to test JavaScript (we only test the MVC features,
not an AJAX framework), canoo is the best option IMHO.
For the moment I have created only one very basic test for the calc
example. I'll do Bugzooky next.
Cheers
Remi
