I would test the fact that html generated work properly, I guess Selenium is the only way, but if I can interact with html object from python with someting like HTMLTestRunner ( http://tungwaiyip.info/software/HTMLTestRunner.html)... I never had time to think about test cases worth doing over generated html... Actually, you maybe right that it only allow to see if html get generated or compare html generated to an reference html (mean something like having app serving to test another app to make sure notting get modify on one hand without the other know it... Mean a lot of work merging stuff between repo in orther to maintain test case = a lot of works).
Could you provide an example of good controller and view codes? Model is easier... In web2py, I am not sure we can really divide each differents part in M-V-C container... Look how you define validators over model field definition (I know old raised point). Richard On Tue, Jan 27, 2015 at 3:42 PM, Derek <sp1d...@gmail.com> wrote: > You are wrong.
