Web application testing through Selenium-RC

WebTester is a framework to test web applications. Designed to support several testing systems, it actually provides an implementation which uses Selenium RC.

You can test any web application with it; but if you are developing Seaside applications you can take a component (any component), and unit test that component.

Load WebTester (note that it loads Seaside 3.0-rc):

Gofer new
    squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
    package: 'ConfigurationOfWebTester';
    load.

(ConfigurationOfAutotest project version:'1.1') load.

A WebTester session example:

|tester searchButton searchField|
tester := WtSeleniumWebTester new.
tester
    appRoot: 'http://pharo-project.org';
    browserType: '*firefox';
    start;
    openUrl: '/'.

searchField := tester textFieldById: 'searchfield'.
self assert: searchField isPresent.

searchButton := tester buttonByXPath: '//input[@title=''Search'']'.
self assert: searchButton isPresent.

searchField text: 'screencasts'.
searchButton click.
tester waitForPageToLoad.
self assert: (tester isTextPresent:'pharocasts').

tester stop.
