RAP UI Testing [message #1112549]

We are looking at various technologies to arrange automated testing of end user UI for our RAP based eclipse application. It looks like Selenium is one of the first choices picked for web ui testing and I located http://wiki.eclipse.org/RapUITesting and I tried to follow its directions.

I was able to setup everything as explained on the wiki but the actual test execution fails due to timeout during an attempt to locate a button widget by its ID. I tried using different web browsers (Firefox 17.0.9 - firebug, IE8 - dev tools) to inspect the DOM tree produced by RAP and I couldn't find any DOM element with 'id' attribute set on it.

I ran my application with and without -Dorg.eclipse.rwt.enableUITests=true argument with the same outcome.

I even tried http://rap.eclipsesource.com/controlsdemo/controls to inspect its DOM and still all 'id' attributes were empty.

Am I looking at the wrong places? Did RAP implementation changed in 2.0 to no longer set 'id' attributes?

P.S. I searched older threads and it looks like in the past RAP produced DOM elements representing widgets which have 'id' attributes with values "w1", "w2", etc.
P.P.S. We are on RAP 2.0 at the moment.

Hi,
please note that the argument was renamed to
"org.eclipse.rap.rwt.enableUITests" (added "rap" segment) in RAP 2.0.
This should fix your problem.
Best,
Ivan

Hi i was trying to add to RAP 2.0, an AOP, for setting this custom widgets id automatic ( like in this example... thomaskratz.blogspot.com/2012/08/eclipse-rap-ui-testing-contd.html)
did someone using it like that? or any other suggestion how to add change this "w1" to some change this to something more user friendly ? I made a test runner with nodejs ( jasmine-node, webdriverjs selenium ) and have some existing app i want to make this scenario faster sometimes adding custom id don't work..,.
