watir-like web testing in squeak
Locked
 
|
Hi All,
I was wondering if there is something in Squeak which does something similar to what Watir does in Ruby? Watir appears to be a cool toolkit for testing web apps and I would want to find out if something similar or better has been written in Squeak for testing purposes.
Thanks in advance, Ching

Nothing as complete as Watir. You could just use Watir to test your seaside app.
For simple get/post action in Smalltalk, you could pull Scamper (a Squeak browser) and script it. It is fairly easy to understand/port. Bijan Parsia's networking chapter in the squeak blue book has a nice intro. See the parsia_2.pdf at: http://stephane.ducasse.free.fr/FreeBooks/CollectiveNBlueBook/ I ported it once to VA Smalltalk in the late 90s for some internal website testing. Unfortunately, no support CSS/Javascript, etc. and you would want those for something modern. If you really wanted Watir in Smalltalk, you could do a port. This would be a bunch of work, but since it is Ruby, the concepts should be similar. For the browser binding, you'll need something like OSProcess.

See Selenium Remote Control http://seleniumhq.org/projects/remote-control/ It is very simple to build the server side adapter since it works by sending HTTP requests to the Remove Control server which drives the browser for testing. It can test IE, FF, or Safari. Dave > > If you really wanted Watir in Smalltalk, you could do a port. This would be > a bunch of work, but since it is Ruby, the concepts should be similar.
