Hi,

In the web documentation for Seaside Testing it describes a method 'newApplicationWithRootInstance:' that should be on SCComponentTestCase. It doesn't seem to exist. Am I doing something wrong?

I am trying to test a component that must be preconfigured before use, and this method promises to allow just that. Is there a way to do this with the API as it stands?

Thanks,


Rob.


Hi Rob,

I suspect that my documentation got ahead of the version on SqueakMap. In fact, this feature is broken by the new initialization scheme used in Seaside 2.5 anyway (there's a session reference in the initialize method which causes all kind of problems with creating components outside of the server's request handling look). I've only written one test case that needed it but it is on my list of bug fixes for the next release (I posted the list to the mailling list a short while ago). I have an idea to kind of fix it though: I can provide a hook so a test case can be passed the component once the first request creates it. It isn't perfect but maybe it would meet your needs for now. It would look something like:

self newApplicationWithRootClass: SomeComponent initializeWith: [:comp | "do something to comp"].

How does that sound? If it will work for you I'll try to get it working.

David
