I tried a while back with no luck. It's a very admirable attempt at
mimicking the browser but not quite complete enough to handle the likes of
dojo

For this type of integration testing I would reccomend using selenium.
(tacos uses this currently )

Has anyone here tried to test their Web app with HTMLUnit using Tapestry
4.1? I'm getting a lot of errors related to embedded dojo stuff, even
with JavaScript disabled in the web client. Any help would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

It appears that if the JavaScript is embedded in a page, HTMLUnit will
attempt to do something with it, regardless of whether JavaScript is
enabled in the WebClient. I'd have to dig into it a bit more, but that's
what the exception message seems to indicate.

that it's having trouble parsing files? You might want to file a bug
report to the HtmlUnit tracker If I remember correctly, you're also
supposed to be able to rip out the Rhino js.jar file to disable
JavaScript

Hmm . . . maybe I'll give that a try. I think in the long run, I'm going
to want to migrate away from this anyway.

We should have a seperate tapestry-testing project out soon that will help
with some of these things. (builds off of
to support
TestNG as the base testing framework) Things are still a little hairy right
now but it should be done soon-ish.

You also have http://jrex.mozdev.org/ which may or may not be what selenium
is using to do its headless server mode stuff.

All of this is still a little frustrating for me at times, but I'm trying to
keep myself up to date on the latest things when I canSomeone told me
that it is planned to eventually move firefox/thunderbird over to the new
XPCM based platform in the future, which would allow us to create unit
tests that actually run in the browser without having to install a brand new
set of mozilla libs just for testing(ie xulrunner )

The new tapestry test project will host some basic utilities for testing
tapestry components/pages (mostly via easymock.org type enhancements) , but
will also support testing "pure" javascript functional testing via the rhino
interpreter. (still can't test full browser mode as rhino doesn't have a
browser API, but I've been doing a little mock-like functionality in these
tests for the new tapestry release and have found it to work out pretty well
so far).
