Browser testing with splinter

Splinter is a library which provides a common browser API with a driver for zope.testbrowser.

The ftw.testing package provides integration of Splinter with Plone using Page Objects.

For using the splinter features, use the splinter extras require:

ftw.testing [splinter]

Setting a package up for browser tests

It’s easy to setup your package for browser tests:

Add a test-dependency to ftw.testing in your setup.py:

tests_require = [ ftw.testing[splinter], ]

setup(name=my.package, ... tests_require=tests_require, extras_require=dict(tests=tests_require), )

In your testing.py use the FunctionalSplinterTesting layer wrapper:

from ftw.testing import FunctionalSplinterTesting from plone.app.testing import PLONE_FIXTURE from plone.app.testing import PloneSandboxLayer from plone.app.testing import applyProfile from zope.configuration import xmlconfig

class MyPackageLayer(PloneSandboxLayer):

defaultBases = (PLONE_FIXTURE,)

def setUpZope(self, app, configurationContext): import my.package xmlconfig.file(configure.zcml, my.package)

def setUpPloneSite(self, portal): applyProfile(portal, my.package:default)

MY_PACKAGE_FIXTURE = MyPackageLayer() MY_PACKAGE_FUNCTIONAL_TESTING = FunctionalSplinterTesting( bases=(MY_PACKAGE_FIXTURE, ), name="my.package:functional")

Write tests using the Plone Page Objects:

from ftw.testing import browser from ftw.testing.pages import Plone from my.package.testing import MY_PACKAGE_FUNCTIONAL_TESTING from plone.app.testing import SITE_OWNER_NAME from plone.app.testing import SITE_OWNER_PASSWORD from unittest2 import TestCase

class TestDocument(TestCase):

layer = MY_PACKAGE_FUNCTIONAL_TESTING

def test_add_document(self): Plone().login(SITE_OWNER_NAME, SITE_OWNER_PASSWORD) Plone().visit_portal() Plone().create_object(Page, {'Title': Foo, 'Body Text': 'Hello World'}) self.assertTrue(browser().is_text_present(Hello World))

Writing Page Objects

Write your own Page Objects for your views and content types. Put a module pages.py in your tests folder:

from ftw.testing.pages import Plone

class MyContentType(Plone):

def create_my_content(self, title, text): self.create_object(MyContent, {'Title': title, 'Body Text': text}) return self

The Page Object should have methods for all features of your view. Using the Plone Page Objects

The Plone page object provided by ftw.testing already has the most important features built in, such as:

portal_url handling Login Accessing Headings, -CSS-classes, status messages Adding content TinyMCE handling

Currently it’s best to just look in the page object code. MockTestCase

ftw.testing provides an advanced MockTestCase which provides bases on the plone.mocktestcase MockTestCase.

from ftw.testing import MockTestCase

The following additional methods are available:

self.providing_mock(interfaces, args, kwargs) Creates a mock which provides interfaces. self.mock_interface(interface, provides=None, args, *kwargs) Creates a mock object implementing interface. The mock does not only provide interface, but also use it as specification and asserts that the mocked methods do exist on the interface. self.stub(args, *kwargs) Creates a stub. It acts like a mock but has no assertions. self.providing_stub(interfaces, args, *kwargs) Creates a stub which provides interfaces. self.stub_interface(interface, provides=None, args, **kwargs) Does the same as mock_interface, but disables counting of expected method calls and attribute access. See “Mocking vs. stubbing” below. self.set_parent(context, parent_context) Stubs the context so that its acquisition parent is parent_context. Expects at least context to be a mock or a stub. Returns the context. self.stub_request(interfaces=[], stub_response=True, content_type=text/html, status=200) Returns a request stub which can be used for rendering templates. With the stub_response option, you can define if the request should stub a response by itself. The other optional arguments: content_type: Defines the expected output content type of the response. status: Defines the expected status code of the response. self.stub_response(request=None, content_type=text/html, status=200)) Returns a stub response with some headers and options. When a request is given the response is also added to the given request. The other optional arguments: content_type: Defines the expected output content type of the response. status: Defines the expected status code of the response. self.assertRaises(args, *kwargs) Uses unittest2 implementation of assertRaises instead of unittest implementation.

It also fixes a problem in mock_tool, where the getToolByName mock had assertions which is not very useful in some cases. Mocking vs. stubbing

A mock is used for testing the communication between two objects. It asserts method calls. This is used when a test should not test if a object has a specific state after doing something (e.g. it has it’s attribute xy set to something), but if the object does something with another object. If for example an object Foo sends an email when method bar is called, we could mock the sendmail object and assert on the send-email method call.

On the other hand we often have to test the state of an object (attribute values) after doing something. This can be done without mocks by just calling the method and asserting the attribute values. But then we have to set up an integration test and install plone, which takes very long. For testing an object with dependencies to other parts of plone in a unit test, we can use stubs for faking other (separately tested) parts of plone. Stubs work like mocks: you can “expect” a method call and define a result. The difference between stubs and mocks is that stubs do not assert the expectations, so there will be no errors if something expected does not happen. So when using stubs we can assert the state without asserting the communcation between objects. Component registry layer

The MockTestCase is able to mock components (adapters, utilities). It cleans up the component registry after every test.

But when we use a ZCML layer, loading the ZCML of the package it should use the same component registry for all tests on the same layer. The ComponentRegistryLayer is a layer superclass for sharing the component registry and speeding up tests.

Usage:

from ftw.testing.layer import ComponentRegistryLayer

class ZCMLLayer(ComponentRegistryLayer):

def setUp(self): super(ZCMLLayer, self).setUp()

import my.package self.load_zcml_file(configure.zcml, my.package)

ZCML_LAYER = ZCMLLayer()

Be aware that ComponentRegistryLayer is a base class for creating your own layer (by subclassing ComponentRegistryLayer) and is not usable with defaultBases directly. This allows us to use the functions load_zcml_file and load_zcml_string. Mailing test helper

The Mailing helper object mocks the mailhost and captures sent emails. The emails can then be easily used for assertions.

Usage:

from ftw.testing.mailing import Mailing import transaction

class MyTest(TestCase): layer = MY_FUNCTIONAL_TESTING

def setUp(self): Mailing(self.layer['portal']).set_up() transaction.commit()

def tearDown(self): Mailing(self.layer['portal']).tear_down()

def test_mail_stuff(self): portal = self.layer['portal'] do_send_email() mail = Mailing(portal).pop() self.assertEquals(Subject: ..., mail)

Freezing datetime.now()

When testing code which depends on the current time, it is necessary to set the current time to a specific time. The freeze context manager makes that really easy:

from ftw.testing import freeze from datetime import datetime

with freeze(datetime(2014, 5, 7, 12, 30)):

The freeze context manager patches the datetime module, the time module and supports the Zope DateTime module. It removes the patches when exiting the context manager.

Updating the freezed time

from ftw.testing import freeze from datetime import datetime

with freeze(datetime(2014, 5, 7, 12, 30)) as clock:

clock.forward(days=2)

clock.backward(minutes=15)

You can use the timedelta arguments`(https://docs.python.org/2/library/datetime.html#datetime.timedelta)_ for “forward` and backward. Static UUIDS

When asserting UUIDs it can be annoying that they change at each test run. The staticuid decorator helps to fix that by using static uuids which are prefixed and counted within a scope, usually a test case:

from ftw.testing import staticuid from plone.app.testing import PLONE_INTEGRATION_TESTING from unittest2 import TestCase

class MyTest(TestCase): layer = PLONE_INTEGRATION_TESTING

@staticuid() def test_all_the_things(self): doc = self.portal.get(self.portal.invokeFactory(Document, the-document)) self.assertEquals(testallthethings0000000000000001, IUUID(doc))

@staticuid(MyUIDS) def test_a_prefix_can_be_set(self): doc = self.portal.get(self.portal.invokeFactory(Document, the-document)) self.assertEquals(MyUIDS00000000000000000000000001, IUUID(doc))

Generic Setup uninstall test

ftw.testing provides a test superclass for testing uninstall profiles. The test makes a Generic Setup snapshot before installing the package, then installs and uninstalls the package, creates another snapshot and diffs it. The package is installed without installing its dependencies, because it should not include uninstalling dependencies in the uninstall profile.

Appropriate testing layer setup is included and the test runs on a seperate layer which should not interfere with other tests.

Simple example:

from ftw.testing.genericsetup import GenericSetupUninstallMixin from ftw.testing.genericsetup import apply_generic_setup_layer from unittest2 import TestCase

@apply_generic_setup_layer class TestGenericSetupUninstall(TestCase, GenericSetupUninstallMixin): package = my.package

The my.package is expected to have a Generic Setup profile profile-my.package:default for installing the package and a profile-my.package:uninstall for uninstalling the package. It is expected to use z3c.autoinclude entry points for loading its ZCML.

The options are configured as class variables:

package The dotted name of the package as string, which is used for things such as guessing the Generic Setup profile names. This is mandatory. autoinclude (True) This makes the testing fixture load ZCML using the z3c.autoinclude entry points registered for the target plone. additional_zcml_packages (()) Use this if needed ZCML is not loaded using the autoinclude option, e.g. when you need to load testing zcml. Pass in an iterable of dottednames of packages, which contain a configure.zcml. additional_products (()) A list of additional Zope products to install. install_profile_name (default) The Generic Setup install profile name postfix. skip_files (()) An iterable of Generic Setup files (e.g. ("viewlets.xml",)) to be ignored in the diff. This is sometimes necessary, because not all components can and should be uninstalled properly. For example viewlet orders cannot be removed using Generic Setup - but this is not a problem they do no longer take effect when the viewlets / viewlet managers are no longer registered.

Full example:

from ftw.testing.genericsetup import GenericSetupUninstallMixin from ftw.testing.genericsetup import apply_generic_setup_layer from unittest2 import TestCase

@apply_generic_setup_layer class TestGenericSetupUninstall(TestCase, GenericSetupUninstallMixin): package = my.package autoinclude = False additional_zcml_packages = (my.package, my.package.tests) additional_products = (another.package, ) install_profile_name = default skip_files = (viewlets.xml, rolemap.xml)

Disabling quickinstaller snapshots

Quickinstaller normally makes a complete Generic Setup (GS) snapshot before and after installing each GS profile, in order to be able to uninstall the profile afterwards.

In tests we usually don’t need this feature and want to disable it to speed up tests.

The ftw.testing.quickinstaller module provides a patcher for replacing the quickinstaller event handlers to skip creating snapshots. Usually we want to do this early (when loading testing.py), so that all the tests are speeding up. However, some tests which involve quickinstaller rely on having the snapshots made (see previous section about uninstall tests). Therefore the snapshot patcher object provides context managers for temporarily enabling / disabling the snapshot feature.

Usage:

Disable snapshots early, so that everything is fast. Usually this is done in the testing.py in module scope, so that it happens already when the testrunner imports the tests:

from ftw.testing.quickinstaller import snapshots from plone.app.testing import PloneSandboxLayer

snapshots.disable()

class MyPackageLayer(PloneSandboxLayer): ...

When testing quickinstaller snapshot related things, such as uninstalling, the snapshots can be re-enabled for a context manager or in general:

from ftw.testing.quickinstaller import snapshots

snapshots.disable()

with snapshots.enabled():

snapshots.enable()

with snapshots.disabled():

Testing Layers Component registry isolation layer

plone.app.testing’s default testing layers (such as PLONE_FIXTURE) do not isolate the component registry for each test.

ftw.testing’s COMPONENT_REGISTRY_ISOLATION testing layer isolates the component registry for each test, provides a stacked ZCML configuration context and provides the methods load_zcml_string and load_zcml_file for loading ZCML.

Example:

from ftw.testing.layer import COMPONENT_REGISTRY_ISOLATION from plone.app.testing import IntegrationTesting from plone.app.testing import PloneSandboxLayer from zope.configuration import xmlconfig

class MyPackageLayer(PloneSandboxLayer): defaultBases = (COMPONENT_REGISTRY_ISOLATION,)

def setUpZope(self, app, configurationContext): import my.package xmlconfig.file(configure.zcml, ftw.package, context=configurationContext)

MY_PACKAGE_FIXTURE = MyPackageLayer() MY_PACKAGE_INTEGRATION = IntegrationTesting( bases=(MY_PACKAGE_FIXTURE, COMPONENT_REGISTRY_ISOLATION), name=my.package:integration)

from unittest2 import TestCase

class TestSomething(TestCase): layer = MY_PACKAGE_INTEGRATION

def test(self): self.layer['load_zcml_string'](<configure>...</configure>)

Temp directory layer

The TEMP_DIRECTORY testing layer creates an empty temp directory for each test and removes it recursively on tear down.

The path to the directory can be accessed with the temp_directory key.

Usage example:

from unittest2 import TestCase from ftw.testing.layer import TEMP_DIRECTORY

class TestSomething(TestCase): layer = TEMP_DIRECTORY

def test(self): path = self.layer['temp_directory']

Console script testing layer

The console script layer helps testing console scripts. On layer setup it creates and executes an isolated buildout with the package under development, which creates all console scripts of this package. This makes it easy to test console scripts by really executing them.

Usage example:

from ftw.testing.layer import ConsoleScriptLayer

CONSOLE_SCRIPT_TESTING = ConsoleScriptLayer(my.package)

from my.package.testing import CONSOLE_SCRIPT_TESTING from unittest2 import TestCase

class TestConsoleScripts(TestCase): layer = CONSOLE_SCRIPT_TESTING

def test_executing_command(self): exitcode, output = self.layer['execute_script'](my-command args) self.assertEqual(something\n, output)

Be aware that the dependency zc.recipe.egg is required for building the console scripts. You may put the dependency into your tests extras require.
