Muz: so there's no way to test file uploads, no way to poke around at popups unless they have been started through javascript and you got an ID, etc...

Muz
Well, for what I'm using it for, it's more than sufficient
I liked using funkload, though the intended use is probably quite different.

I'm actually pondering whether I can hack at Selenium Grid so I can use my own tests across aa cluster
2009-01-28 02802, 2009

Muz: with funkload, i run the funkload proxy once... point my browser at it, and all my activity is recorded by funkload that way.
2009-01-28 02840, 2009
warp
Muz: when I stop the proxy, it spits out a python unittest with all the get/post requests which I can easily hack around in to fix some of the things funkload doesn't pick up on.

Muz
Selenium can do all that much, heh.
2009-01-28 02823, 2009
warp
Muz: oh yes, but the approach is quite different.

selenium runs in a real browser, so kind of sucks for commandline/headless testing. but you can probably do much better interface tests with it.
2009-01-28 02840, 2009
aCiD2
i like the idea of mechanize/unittest because I can just do a quick (heh, "quick") make test before commiting
2009-01-28 02847, 2009
Muz
That's half the point of Selenium though, it's testing across multiple browsers and systems
2009-01-28 02850, 2009
Muz
Or rather, the ability to.
2009-01-28 02803, 2009
Muz is currently just using 2 Firefox slaves on XP and 2 on Ubuntu
2009-01-28 02824, 2009
aCiD2
I suppose it's a bit apples and oranges, seeing as Selenium is funtionality testing, not unit testing
2009-01-28 02853, 2009
warp
Muz: yeah, I just needed to automatically fill in a 30-page form and benchmark that. (yay, we easily managed 1000 concurrent users who spend about 20 seconds on each page reading it).
2009-01-28 02808, 2009
Muz
aCiD2: that said, soon I'll be (hopefully) using Selenium to do functionality testing too. Me using it as I am now is me playing about and testing it out. Seeing how much I can stress it.
2009-01-28 02851, 2009
Muz
It is nice and pretty seeing Firefox windows fly up all over the place. That much must be said.
2009-01-28 02859, 2009

yeah ;)

Muz: I used it on a windows XP vm with the java server whatever thingy to drive it.
2009-01-28 02842, 2009

installed an apache on it, and had a page to view the selenium results with a bit of php behind it to trigger re-running the tests.
2009-01-28 02843, 2009
luks
hm, funkload looks interesting
2009-01-28 02840, 2009
warp
luks: the tests it dumps may need some hacking if one of the subsequent gets or posts contains information based on the previous request, but in my case that wasn't too much work.

aCiD2: Test shows "MusicBrainz::Server::Track=HASH(0xba443b4)" for the track name when editing, was that what was fixed?
If you click 'Edit' and then submit right away, it goes in as an edit.
2009-01-28 02819, 2009

Or at least, it appears to go in as an edit, not sure what actually would happen database wise.

I need to improve those flash messages, but I need to talk to Catalyst folks about if $c->flash is still a good idea
2009-01-28 02825, 2009

Maybe a sanity check of sorts should pop up saying that you _didn't actually change anything_ ?
2009-01-28 02835, 2009

I've heard a lot of controversy about it

The flash?
2009-01-28 02847, 2009

yea, it should be yellow saying "You did not make any changes"

flash is like sessions, but deleted when you access it (used to display those messages)

Apparently you can't have a track name that's longer than 35 characters..I know some CSG people who are going to be in fits...

Just removing the quotes to fit MB guidelines reduces it by 24 characters.
