niteoweb.windmill 0.1

Plone TestCase integration with Windmill testing

About

niteoweb.windmill wraps Plone’s FunctionalTestCase with support of running Windmill tests. This is achieved by specifying additional layer which starts ZServer and Windmill server.

Windmill supports most of modern browser. Controller API can be found at http://trac.getwindmill.com/wiki/ControllerApi

Terminology

WindmillTestCase will have wm object available (instance of WindmillClient) as an attribute. This client has an extra wm.open_site method which automatically adds plone site to url and later calls wm.open.

All configuration is done on WindmillTestCase.layer object.

Usage

Basic usage:

from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase as ptc
from niteoweb.windmill import WindmillTestCase


ptc.setupPloneSite()

class TestSample(WindmillTestCase):
    def afterSetUp(self):
        self.setRoles(['Manager'])
        self.login_user()

    def test_foo(self):
        self.wm.open_site(url="/about")
        self.wm.waits.forPageLoad(timeout=30000)


def test_suite():
    from unittest import TestSuite, makeSuite
    suite = TestSuite()
    suite.addTest(makeSuite(TestSample))
    return suite

Advanced usage:

from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase as ptc

from niteoweb.windmill import WindmillTestCase, WindmillLayer

WindmillLayer.site = 'plone2'
WindmillLayer.windmill_settings['START_FIREFOX'] = False
WindmillLayer.windmill_settings['START_CHROME'] = True

ptc.setupPloneSite()

class TestWM(WindmillTestCase):
    layer = WindmillLayer

    def afterSetUp(self):
        self.setRoles(['Manager'])
        self.login_user()

    def test_foo(self):
        self.wm.open_site('/login_form', site='plone2')
        self.wm.waits.forPageLoad(timeout=30000)

    def test_suite():
        from unittest import TestSuite, makeSuite
        suite = TestSuite()
        suite.addTest(makeSuite(TestWM))
        return suite

and run tests with debug mode to stop on error/failure:

bin/instance test -s package.module -t test_foo -D

Known issues

• First request made with windmill on startup always fails. This defaults to http://ip:port/. Also if you make this default to plone site, some wierd PortletManager error occurs

• On teardown, sometimes you will get AttributeError: ‘NoneType’ object has no attribute ‘exc_info’, ignore it

• windmill is very poorly tested on Python2.4, submit bugs if you stumble upon any;)

TODO

• Some simple integration to load existing ZODB storages
