Web SimpleTest help

Recommended Posts

Hi, I want to use SimpleTest framework (unit test library) to test if a web page has the text set in the title tag, but I am using localhost, so I think that's why it doesn't run, does anyone know how to configure php.ini (I think it's security issue)

 

here is script:

=========

<?php
require_once('simpletest/autorun.php');
require_once('simpletest/web_tester.php');

class TestOfMyWebPage extends WebTestCase {
    
//test home page is up and running
    function testMyPageIndex() {//THIS function just goes to the page then asserts if title tag has "My Page:Home" text set
        $this->get("C:/xampp/htdocs/projectMyWebsite/MyPageIndex.html");
       $this->assertTitle("My Page:Home");//test if the page contains this page content
    }
}
?>

 

Any help much appreciated!

I use XAMPP (so I have Apache installed), but when I run this script from cmd, I get this message:

 

Equal expectation fails at character 0 with [My Page:Home] and [bad requrest!] at [C:\xampp\htdocs\path\way\to\this\script for line 9]

 

line 9 is my assertion: $this->assertTitle b/c I am pretty sure assertTitle checks  the <title> tag

 

If not too much trouble, if anyone just install simpletest and then copy my code but make up a simple webpage to run off your localhost (make sure put the simpletest dir in C:\xampp\htdocs along with your webpage of course) and test quickly for me what you get, that be great.

 

Here is link on Web SimpleTest lesson:

Any help much appreciated.

My website, I know it is not the localhost issue (as I said, XAMPP has Apache,MySQL and PHP all prebundled), and it is not SimpleTest b/c I have tried the same test on internet-based webpages like cnn.com etc, so that's why I figure it must be php.ini, if possible (it only takes 5 minutes or so), just install XAMPP or whatever used for localhost make a simple webpage that you store to C:\xampp\htdocs and install SimpleTest (put in C:\xampp\htdocs) and make make a new script (just copy my code but change info according to your webpage and directory) and put SimpleTest, your webpage, SimpleTest script for your webpage in htdocs and just run it.

 

Sorry to be longwinded.

 

Any help much appreciated!

Can someone help me with SimpleTest for HTML. I just want to test if a certain page has the text in it, but when I run this SimpleTest script for

the page I'm testing (Index.html), it outputs this message:

 

"Text [Hello world!.]" not detected in [string: Bad request! Bad request! Your browser (or proxy) sent a request that this server could not understand. Error 400]"

 

Here is script Index.html:

=================

<html>

<head></head>

<body

<p>Hello world!</p>

</body>

</html>

 

Here is SimpleTest script for testing Index.html:

=================================

<?php
require_once('simpletest/autorun.php');
require_once('simpletest/web_tester.php');
require_once('Index.html');

class TestOfIndex extends WebTestCase {
    
    function testHomeHasTheseLinks() {
        $this->get("localhost/dir/Index.html");
$this->assertText('Hello world!');	
    }
}

?>

 

Any help much appreciated!

No, that's not it, b/c when I try the following assertion on the get:

$this->assertTrue($this->get("localhost/proj_ath/xmlShredderIndex.php"));

 

it returns: PASS 1, FAIL 1 (the get passed, the assertText fails, I know b/c I commented out the assertText and  I still get PASS 1) in the command line (this is just SimpleTest output)

 

Any help much appreciated!

:'( Please, please why won't people help out?

I just want to get it to check if the desired webpage has the content via assertText, but it doesn' work when I run it. At first I thought it was local host but I tested that via: $this->assertTrue($this->get("localhost/projidr/Whatever.php"))

I beg, I beg someone to help me!!

 

Any help much appreciated!

Either you haven't provided enough information for anyone to be able to help, no one has enough knowledge with simpleTest or your desperation is turning people off wanting to assist you.

 

Either way, constantly bumping your thread will get you nowhere.
