PloneTestCase product provides FunctionalTestCase base class for functional testing. Unlike unit tests, functional tests simulate real HTTP requests with transaction life cycle.
Plone uses Products.Five.testbrowser as an browser emulator used in functional tests. It is based on zope.testbrowser package. You can find more information in the zope.testbrowser docs home page. The API is described in zope.testbrowser.interfaces (3.4 used by Plone 3).
警告
There also exists old zc.testbrowser, which is a different package with similar name.
All code assumes here is is executed in unit test context where self.portal is your unit test site instance.
You can record functional tests through the browser. Think it as a Microsoft Word macro recoder kind of thing.
First see collective.testlayer package which does some of the things described below
Example code:
from Products.Five.testbrowser import Browser
from Products.PloneTestCase import PloneTestCase as ptc
class BaseFunctionalTestCase(ptc.FunctionalTestCase):
""" This is a base class for functional test cases for your custom product.
"""
def afterSetUp(self):
"""
Show errors in console by monkey patching site error_log service
"""
ptc.FunctionalTestCase.afterSetUp(self)
self.browser = Browser()
self.browser.handleErrors = False # Don't get HTTP 500 pages
self.portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ()
def raising(self, info):
import traceback
traceback.print_tb(info[2])
print info[1]
from Products.SiteErrorLog.SiteErrorLog import SiteErrorLog
SiteErrorLog.raising = raising
def loginAsAdmin(self):
""" Perform through-the-web login.
Simulate going to the login form and logging in.
We use username and password provided by PloneTestCase.
This sets session cookie for testbrowser.
"""
from Products.PloneTestCase.setup import portal_owner, default_password
# Go admin
browser = self.browser
browser.open(self.portal.absolute_url() + "/login_form")
browser.getControl(name='__ac_name').value = portal_owner
browser.getControl(name='__ac_password').value = default_password
browser.getControl(name='submit').click()
Since zope.testbrowser uses normal Plone paging mechanism, you won’t get nice tracebacks to your console.
The following snippet allows you to extract traceback data from site.error_log utility and print it to the console. Put it to your afterSetUp():
self.browser.handleErrors = False
self.portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ()
def raising(self, info):
import traceback
traceback.print_tb(info[2])
print info[1]
from Products.SiteErrorLog.SiteErrorLog import SiteErrorLog
SiteErrorLog.raising = raising
Example:
from Products.Five.testbrowser import Browser
self.browser = Browser()
self.browser.open(self.portal.absolute_url())
Example:
from Products.PloneTestCase.setup import portal_owner, default_password
# Go admin
browser.open(self.portal.absolute_url() + "/login_form")
browser.getControl(name='__ac_name').value = portal_owner
browser.getControl(name='__ac_password').value = default_password
browser.getControl(name='submit').click()
After test browser has opened an URL its content can be read from browser.contents variable.
Example:
print browser.contents # browser is zope.testbrowser.Browser instance
You can’t get a list of controls from zope.testbrowser. You can check check available controls from
the form source code
the contents the testbrowser returns (browser.contents)
the mechanize browser instance that is used through zope.testbrowser. zope.testbrowser internally uses a testbrowser provided by the mechanize package. The mechanize objects are saved in browser.mech_browser and as attributes on different other instances returned by zope.testbrowser. mechanize has a different, less convenient api, but also provides more options. To see a list of all controls in a for you can do e.g.:
# get the login form from the zope.testbrowser
login_form = self.browser.getForm('login_form')
# get and print all controls
controls = login_form.mech_form.controls
for control in controls:
print "%s: %s" % (control.attrs['name'], control.attrs['type'])
Checkboxes are usually presented as name:list style names:
checkbox = form.getControl(name="myitem.select:list")
checkbox.value = [u"selected"]
Example:
button = form.getControl(name="mybuttonname")
button.click()
If you have a form instance, you can use the submit action. To click on the Button labled “Log in” in the login form, you do:
login_form = self.browser.getForm('login_form')
login_form.submit('Log in')
Example:
def checkIsUnauthorized(self, url):
"""
Check whether URL gives Unauthorized response.
"""
import urllib2
# Disable redirect on security error
self.portal.acl_users.credentials_cookie_auth.login_path = ""
# Unfuse exception tracking for debugging
# as set up in afterSetUp()
self.browser.handleErrors = True
def raising(self, info):
pass
self.portal.error_log._ignored_exceptions = ("Unauthorized")
from Products.SiteErrorLog.SiteErrorLog import SiteErrorLog
SiteErrorLog.raising = raising
try:
self.browser.open(url)
raise AssertionError("No Unauthorized risen:" + url)
except urllib2.HTTPError, e:
# Mechanize, the engine under testbrowser
# uses urlllib2 and will raise this exception
self.assertEqual(e.code, 401, "Got HTTP response code:" + str(e.code))
Exaple:
self.assertEqual(self.browser.headers[“Content-type”], ‘application/octet-stream’)
Example how to check for HTTP 500 Internal Server Error:
def test_no_language(self):
""" Check that language parameter is needed and nothing is executed unless it is given. """
from urllib2 import HTTPError
try:
self.browser.handleErrors = True # Don't get HTTP 500 pages
url = self.portal.absolute_url() + "/@@mobile_sitemap?mode=mobile"
self.browser.open(url)
# should cause HTTPError: HTTP Error 500: Internal Server Error
raise AssertionError("Should be never reached")
except HTTPError, e:
pass
Headers must be passed to underlying PublisherMechanizeBrowser instance and test browser must be constructed based on this instance.
ノート
When passing parameters to PublisherMechanizeBrowser.addheaders HTTP prefix will be automatically added to header name.
Example:
class BaseFunctionalTestCase(ptc.FunctionalTestCase):
def setUA(self, user_agent):
"""
Create zope.testbrowser Browser with a specific user agent.
"""
# Be sure to use Products.Five.testbrowser here
self.browser = UABrowser(user_agent)
self.browser.handleErrors = False # Don't get HTTP 500 pages
from zope.testbrowser import browser
from Products.Five.testbrowser import PublisherHTTPHandler
from Products.Five.testbrowser import PublisherMechanizeBrowser
class UABrowser(browser.Browser):
"""A Zope ``testbrowser` Browser that uses the Zope Publisher.
The instance must set a custom user agent string.
"""
def __init__(self, user_agent, url=None):
mech_browser = PublisherMechanizeBrowser()
mech_browser.addheaders = [("User-agent", user_agent),]
# override the http handler class
mech_browser.handler_classes["http"] = PublisherHTTPHandler
browser.Browser.__init__(self, url=url, mech_browser=mech_browser)
