Problem when testing with HtmlUnitDriver and FirefoxDriver

[rlagoue]

Hi all,

I'm trying now trying to add automated test to my Smartgwt application. I want to support both drivers HtmlUnitDriver (for nightly tests) and FirefoxDriver (for acceptance tests).

Problem with FirefoxDriver:
Here I get access to page elements using the following static method:

public class TestUtilities {
	

	public static By locate(final String locator) {
		if (locator == null) {
			throw new IllegalArgumentException(
					"No elements with null id could be found");
		}
		return new By() {
			@Override
			public List<WebElement> findElements(SearchContext context) {
				return Collections.<WebElement> emptyList();
			}

			@Override
			public WebElement findElement(SearchContext context) {
				JavascriptExecutor executor = (JavascriptExecutor) context;
				return (WebElement) executor.executeScript(
						"return AutoTest.getElement(arguments[0]);", locator);
			}
		};
	}
}

I use the Selenium IDE on firefox (with smartgwt user-extensions.js/user-extensions-ide.js well added) to retrieve the path to specifics WebElement on a page.
However the following path

"//ColumnTree[ID=\"Inventory\"]/column[Class=ListGrid||index=0||length=1||classIndex=0||classLength=1||roleIndex=0||roleLength=1||scRole=list]/body/row[1]/col[fieldName=treeField||0]"

always points (when tests are executed ) to the first entry of a "com.smartgwt.client.widgets.grid.ColumnTree" although I got the path when clicking the second entry in the Selenium IDE.



Problem with HtmlUnitDriver:

Like you saw above the static method for getting reference on WebElements uses a javascript object provided by SmartGwt (namely the "AutoTest"). When trying to use this method with the HtmlUnitDriver I get the error saying that the AutoTest object cannot be found. That is why I would like to know how to append the AutoTest to the HtmlUnitDriver. I already tried to execute the file using the following without success:

driver.executeScript(".../AutoTest.js");

Thanks for any help...

Hi!

i forgot to mention that I found a workaround for the problem with FirefoxDriver. I just increments the row index in a ColumnTree that Selenium IDE gives to me.

The problem with HtmlUnitDriver still remains.
