Albatross: How should I access the model?
 
|
Hello,
in the Albatross paper [1] there is a section about "Model access" (p 15): > There is unlimited access to the > model available by the test component accessor ATestCase>>testComponent. Depending > on the test components code, we may access the model with self testComponent model > or likewise. The model access can be useful for assertions before and after user interactions. I'd like to do just that, e.g. accessing the Pier kernel after I have added / removed a page. The method testComponent seems to have migrated to AComponentWrapper, looking at its senders does not help. All the example tests seem to deal only with user interactions (browser click: etc). So, how do I access the model from inside an Albatross unit test?

Hi Matthias,
Apparently this got lost in a recent refactoring. In Albatross-al.215 you can access the root component instance from a unit test. As an example see APierTest>>testEditPage. This version of Albatross also allows one to easily access to the current URL and title as you requested in another mail.

Aaah, thanks! I thought that Albatross-al.215 was an old version, and
I was just about to try to merge that... :-) So, for everyone else who's reading - in the current version of Albatross you can: 1) get the component under test using ATestCase>>getTestComponent. The component then might give you the model, as in APierTest>>testEditPage "We edited a pier page through the web browser, check if the model changed accordingly." page := self getTestComponent context structure. "page is a PRPage (model object), check its title and contents" self assert: page title = 'Hello world!'. self assert: page contents = 'This is the first Albatross Pier test in the world!' 2) get the current URL using ABrowser>>url 3) get the title of the HTML page using ABrowser>>title Thanks Adrian!
