Steps to get started:
1.) Run the runtests.pl script to start the server.
Currently, the test script automatically determines the location
of *Firefox*.
2.) gen_template.pl will generate test templates for HTML, XUL, and XHTML.
Read the comment at the top of the file for usage instructions.
3.) Write a test.
Example test:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<!--
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=345656
-->
<head>
<title>Test for Bug 345656</title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/MochiKit/MochiKit.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/tests/SimpleTest/SimpleTest.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/tests/SimpleTest/test.css" />
</head>
<body>
<p id="display"></p>
<div id="content" style="display: none">
</div>
<pre id="test">
<script class="testbody" type="text/javascript">
/** Test for Bug 345656 **/
//
//add information to show on the test page
//
$("display").innerHTML = "doing stuff...";
//
// The '$' is function is shorthand for getElementById. This is the same thing:
//
document.getElementById("display").innerHTML = "doing stuff...";
//
// you can add content that you don't want to clutter
// the display to the content div.
//
// You can write directly, or you can use MochiKit functions
// to do it in JS like this:
//
appendChildNodes($("content"),
DIV({class: "qux"},
SPAN({id: "span42"}, "content"))
);
//
// the ok() function is like assert
//
ok(true, "checking to see if true is true);
//
// this will fail
//
ok(1==2, "1 equals 2?");
//
// this will be marked as a todo.
// When we fix 1 so it equals 2, we'll need to change this
// function to ok() or is().
//
todo(1==2, "1 equals 2?");
//
// is() takes two args
//
myVar = "foo";
is(myVar, "foo", "checking to see if myVar is 'foo'");
//
// Tests can run in event handlers.
// Call this to tell SimpleTest to wait for SimpleTest.finish()
//
SimpleTest.waitForExplicitFinish();
//
// event handler:
//
function event_fired(ev) {
is(ev.newValue, "width: auto;", "DOMAttrModified event reports correct newValue");
SimpleTest.finish(); // trigger the end of our test sequence
}
//
// Hook up the event. Mochikit.Signal has many conveniences for this, if you want.
//
$("content").addEventListener("DOMAttrModified", event_fired, false);
//
// Fire the event.
//
$("content").style.width = "auto";
