Hi,
Our app contains about 600 selenium tests... They are a pain to maintain
even when we are trying to do things "the smart way". By this we mean:
- We have some reusable wicket components. E.g. some AJAX table with
lateral filtering facets. We roll in component marker CSS classes (e.g.
.facets, .facet, .date-time-facet) + "use custom key attributes" (e.g
facet-category="xxxx").
- We mirror this component structure at client side selenium tests. i.e.
we have a FacetsDriver that hides low level complexity (e.g. FacetDriver
xxx = tableWithFacets.getFacteDriverFof("xxx") and xxx.select("aaa")).
The above works fine (mostly). Except people sometimes forget to use proper
ways and reinvent the wheel. Sometimes tests do not pass or are shaky for
no clear reason and a lot of time goes into stabilizing those. We are using
global AJAX blocker div for pages, to prevent component not found issues,
this makes very easy to have a global waitForAjaxFinished().
In summary. We run our tests on a server running in production mode. Thus
we do not use any wicket path or anything similar, we use custom CSS
classes + custom element attributes to give a more precise context.
Hope this helps?
