Parameters:

clickLink

public void clickLink(java.lang.String path)

Click the Link in the last rendered Page.

Simulate that AJAX is enabled.

Parameters:

path - Click the Link in the last rendered Page.

See Also:

clickLink(String, boolean)

clickLink

public void clickLink(java.lang.String path,
                      boolean isAjax)

Click the Link in the last rendered Page.

This method also works for AjaxLink, AjaxFallbackLink and AjaxSubmitLink.

On AjaxLinks and AjaxFallbackLinks the onClick method is invoked with a valid AjaxRequestTarget. In that way you can test the flow of your application when using AJAX.

When clicking an AjaxSubmitLink the form, which the AjaxSubmitLink is attached to is first submitted, and then the onSubmit method on AjaxSubmitLink is invoked. If you have changed some values in the form during your test, these will also be submitted. This should not be used as a replacement for the FormTester to test your forms. It should be used to test that the code in your onSubmit method in AjaxSubmitLink actually works.

This method is also able to simulate that AJAX (javascript) is disabled on the client. This is done by setting the isAjax parameter to false. If you have an AjaxFallbackLink you can then check that it doesn't fail when invoked as a normal link.

Parameters:

path - path to Link component

isAjax - Whether to simulate that AJAX (javascript) is enabled or not. If it's false then AjaxLink and AjaxSubmitLink will fail, since it wouldn't work in real life. AjaxFallbackLink will be invoked with null as the AjaxRequestTarget parameter.

submitForm

public void submitForm(java.lang.String path)

Submits the Form in the last rendered Page.

Parameters:

path - path to Form component

setParameterForNextRequest

public void setParameterForNextRequest(java.lang.String componentPath,
                                       java.lang.Object value)

Sets a parameter for the Component with the given path to be used with the next request.

NOTE: this method only works when a Page was rendered first.

Parameters:

componentPath - path to the Component

value - the parameter value to set

isRenderedPage

public <C extends Page> Result isRenderedPage(java.lang.Class<C> expectedRenderedPageClass)

Asserts the last rendered Page class. FIXME explain why the code is so complicated to compare two classes, or simplify

Type Parameters:

C -

Parameters:

expectedRenderedPageClass - expected class of last rendered page

Returns:

a Result

assertResultPage

public void assertResultPage(java.lang.Class<?> pageClass,
                             java.lang.String filename)
                      throws java.lang.Exception

Asserts last rendered Page against an expected HTML document.

Use -Dwicket.replace.expected.results=true to automatically replace the expected output file.

Parameters:

pageClass - used to load the File (relative to clazz package)

filename - expected output File name

Throws:

java.lang.Exception

isResultPage

public Result isResultPage(java.lang.String expectedDocument)
                    throws java.lang.Exception

Asserts last rendered Page against an expected HTML document as a String.

Parameters:

expectedDocument - expected output

Returns:

getMessages

public java.util.List<java.io.Serializable> getMessages(int level)

Retrieves FeedbackMessages.

Parameters:

level - level of feedback message, for example: FeedbackMessage.DEBUG or FeedbackMessage.INFO.. etc

Returns:

See Also:

FeedbackMessage

dumpPage

public void dumpPage()

Dumps the source of last rendered Page.

debugComponentTrees

public void debugComponentTrees()

Dumps the Component trees.

debugComponentTrees

public void debugComponentTrees(java.lang.String filter)

Dumps the Component trees to log. Show only the Components whose paths contain the filter String.

Parameters:

filter - a filter String

isComponentOnAjaxResponse

public Result isComponentOnAjaxResponse(Component component)

Tests that a Component has been added to a AjaxRequestTarget, using AjaxRequestTarget.addComponent(Component). This method actually tests that a Component is on the Ajax response sent back to the client.

PLEASE NOTE! This method doesn't actually insert the Component in the client DOM tree, using Javascript. But it shouldn't be needed because you have to trust that the Wicket Ajax Javascript just works.

Parameters:

component - the Component to test

Returns:

a Result

executeAjaxEvent

public void executeAjaxEvent(java.lang.String componentPath,
                             java.lang.String event)

Simulates the firing of an Ajax event.

Parameters:

componentPath - the Component path

event - the event which we simulate being fired. If event is null, the test will fail.

Since:

1.2.3

See Also:

executeAjaxEvent(Component, String)

executeAjaxEvent

public void executeAjaxEvent(Component component,
                             java.lang.String event)

Simulates the firing of an Ajax event. You add an Ajax event to a Component by using:

     ...
     component.add(new AjaxEventBehavior("ondblclick") {
         public void onEvent(AjaxRequestTarget) {}
     });
     ...
 

You can then test that the code inside onEvent actually does what it's supposed to, using the WicketTester:

     ...
     tester.executeAjaxEvent(component, "ondblclick");
     // Test that the code inside onEvent is correct.
     ...
 

This also works with AjaxFormSubmitBehavior, where it will "submit" the Form before executing the command.

PLEASE NOTE! This method doesn't actually insert the Component in the client DOM tree, using Javascript.

Parameters:

component - the Component that has the AjaxEventBehavior we want to test. If the Component is null, the test will fail.

event - the event to simulate being fired. If event is null, the test will fail.

protected WebRequestCycle resolveRequestCycle()

Returns:

WebRequestCycle
