any jwebunit users out there? i'm trying to test my very simple login page using the jwebunit WebTestCase class. here's my setup:

i have a very simple login form page with the usual two input fields: email and password

i also have two submit buttons: login and cancel

Here's the jsp snippet for my form:

<html:form action="/login">
  Username: <html:text property="username"><bean:write name="user" property="username"/></html:text> <br/>
  Password: <html:password property="password"><bean:write name="user" property="password"/></html:password><br/>
  
  <html:submit property="direction">
    <bean:message key="button.login"/>
  </html:submit>
  <html:submit property="direction">
    <bean:message key="button.cancel"/>
  </html:submit>
</html:form>

Note: I'm using the LookupDispatchAction for my Action class, hence the property="direction" in the submit buttons

In my jwebunit test case I have a class:

public class LoginJspTest extends WebTestCase {
...
    public void setUp() {
        getTestContext().setBaseUrl(baseUrl);
    }
...

    public void testLogin() {
        beginAt("/login.do");

        assertFormElementPresent("email"); //ok
        assertFormElementPresent("password"); // ok
        populateLoginForm(email,password); // ok
        
        assertSubmitButtonPresent("Login"); // cannot find!
        assertSubmitButtonPresent("Cancel");
        submit("Login");
        String title = "Logged in Successfully";
        log.debug("testLogin looking for title: " + title);
        assertTitleEquals(title);
    }
...

Any ideas why I keep getting the error:
AssertionFailedError: Submit Button[Login] not found.

First,Submit button's part in your jsp pages should be modified as below:
  <html:submit>
    <bean:message key="button.login"/>
  </html:submit>
  <html:submit>
    <bean:message key="button.cancel"/>
  </html:submit>
  That is to say you should remove the configure about attribute "property",because in struts property="direction" is parsed into <input name="direction"> by SubmitTag.You can
see this point from the source of SubmitTag.

Then, you can add test code for the submit button as below:
  this.assertKeyPresent("button.login");
or
  this.assertSubmitButtonPresent("Login");

That's all.

Sorry, I mistake some usage of assertKeyPresent,it is used to check the present of message.

So, the right answer is you must specific the property attribut for every <html:submit>,then you should
use the attribute's value to test the present of
submit button.See below for details, plz.

I think assertSubmitButtonPresent will check the "name" attribute of <input type="submit"> which is in the compiled pages.

That's all.

Quite late for this poster, but hopefully others won't worry too much. If you're using LookupDispatchAction in Struts & wanting to use jWebUnit to test it, you'll run into this problem.

The solution appears to be integrated in the next release of jWebUnit:

http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=800660&group_id=61302&atid=497984

So, you can either wait for that to be released, or grab the source from CVS and build it yourself.

Just a follow-up: here's a method I'm using as a work-around to not being able to provide both the name & value of the button to submit. Typical usage would be:

submit("method", getMessage("some.button.key"));


HTH,

  /**
   * This method is a work-around for a limitation in jWebUnit 1.2. It allows
   * you to specify the button to submit with by specifying the button name
   * as well as the button value (the label). jWebUnit 1.3 will provide this
   * ability out of the box.
   *
   * @param buttonName The name of the button (typically 'method' in our
   * pages)
   * @param buttonValue The value of the button
   */
  protected void submit(String buttonName, String buttonValue) {

    WebTester tester = getTester();
    HttpUnitDialog dialog = tester.getDialog();

    WebForm form = dialog.getForm();
    Button[] buttons = form.getButtons();

    for (int i = 0; i < buttons.length; i++) {
      Button current = buttons[i];

      if (current.getName().equals(buttonName) &&
          current.getValue().equals(buttonValue)) {
        try {
          current.click();
        } catch (Exception ex) {
          throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                  "Failed to click the button " + buttonName +
                  " with value " + buttonValue);
        }

        // Successful return
        return;
      }
    }

    // This should never get reached, unless on test
    // developer error!
    throw new IllegalStateException("jWebUnit missed a button!");
