Towards the end of my last "real job" I was getting pretty comforatable with
the org.apache.tapestry.test.Creator class to help me test my
components/pages invidually.

This usually solved 85% of my use cases (as far as testing/productivity
goes).

I've broken the tapestry base test classes out into a new repo already but
haven't done documentation yet.

Having tried the same migration with the latest HTMLUnit release (1.8 I

Ajax items won't buy you much.

After quite a bit of work, I migrated over to Selenium, but even with
Selenium a lot of things I used to be able to do trivially in HTMLUnit, I
can't really do with Selenium.  Additionally, I haven't found a way to
really make Selenium play nice with maven (asking all of your developers
to
install locally will likely get you laughed at).

So, in summary, if you're tied to HTMLUnit, you're tied to Tapestry 4.0.x.

Subject: going from 4.0 to 4.1

The stuff in 4.1 looks neat but I have a couple questions about
transitioning. I apologize if these have already been answered.

- Does it effect your ability to test with htmlunit? We use this a *ton*
and testibility is a big issue. Can you test with javascript off and
have pages still work normally?
- We probably won't be using the ajax stuff very much, at least not for
a while. Can you use 4.1 without it getting in the way?
- Are there ton's of API changes? How easy is the switch?
