WAComponent decoration not initializing.

Hi,

We upgraded from Seaside 2.7 to Seaside 2.8 on Squeak3.9-win32(Squeak3.9-7067) .

I downloaded the latest versions of Seaside 2.8 (Seaside2.8a1-kph.415.mcz) and SeasideTesting (SeasideTesting-R1.4-cds.5.mcz).

I loaded the packages into our Squeak 3.9 working environment via Monticello.

I need to test the SeasideTesting package on the unit tests we have created for a project and which are all running successfully in Seaside 2.7.

· I found the following: It seems the WAComponent decoration attribute is not initialized even though there is an initializeDecoration method

In the initialize method of the instance. I noticed that the decoration attribute used to be lazy-initialized in the reference version of Seaside2.8 (Seaside2.8a1-pmm.212.mcz). I re-introduced the lazy-initializer and the tests ran successfully.

· There are references to the removed class WARenderLoopConfiguration from within SeasideTesting (SCComponentTestCase.newApplicationWithRootClass:initializeWith: & SCComponentTestCase.newApplicationWithRootClass:createWith: etc.) I replaced the references with WARenderConfiguration and the tests ran.

Am I doing the right thing here?

Regards,

Andre Siebrits

If you override #initialize you always have to call

super initialize

This was an exception in Seaside 2.7, we made that uniform with the
rest of the framework in 2.8.

Cheers,
Lukas

Re: WAComponent decoration not initializing.

SCRunnerTask overrode #initializeDecoration so as not to call the super
method. This was because the initialization of decorations in Seaside
<= 2.7 required a session (for backtracking) but no such session is
available at the time this task is created. There are several reasons
for this not the least of which is that SeasideTesting lets you create
the component under test in the context of your test case (rather than
the context of the running Seaside application). For Seaside 2.8 this
hack may not needed since this automatic backtracking registration
doesn't occur so your fix is probably correct. The tests are all green
except those which depend on WAAllTests so that's a good sign.

Seaside2.8a1-mb.420 has all the id attributes and accessors needed by
SeasideTesting.

All tests are green in SeasideTesting-R1.5-mb.2 (needs Seaside2.8a1-
mb.420)
