You have to +look up element ids, invent dojo.queries for elements with no id, +figure out exactly how many pixels to move the mouse . . . the list goes on. + +This recorder module enables DOH test case writers to create complete DOH test +scripts directly from their actions and input on a Web page. Simply drop the +generated code into your test page, set a pass condition, and the test will +repeat your actions. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Dependencies: + +dojo +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Documentation + +See installation instructions below to prepare a test page for recording. + +To record a test, click in an area of the document with no dojo.stopEvents +and press CTRL-ALT-ENTER in the main window. You will get a verification alert +when you successfully start the recorder. Then you can interact with the Web +page and the recorder will monitor your actions. It's usually good to record one +test per widget instance per type of interaction (keyboard vs mouse for instance) +you are testing. + +After you finish interacting with the Web page, click out of any dojo.stopEvents +and press CTRL-ALT-ENTER again. You will see a box containing the generated source +code for your recording. Copy this into a dojo.addOnLoad on the same page to register +the test with DOH. Replace the /*Your condition here*/ text with a JS condition that +indicates that the test passed. Again, having multiple small tests will help you +keep the condition small. Add a doh.run() call after you register all of your tests +to make them execute when you load the page. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Installation instructions + +To ready the recorder for a particular page, add this line to your dojo.requires: +dojo.require("dojox.robot.recorder"); + +You can safely remove this line after you are finished recording your tests. +------------------------------------------------------------------------------- +Additional Notes + +Known limitations: +- Content in an iframe might not report events to the recorder. +- keyDown/keyUp events are supported by DOH, but not by the recorder. + If you hold a key down, it will generate lots of keyPress events instead. + Simply change these to one keyDown call yourself. |
