<h1>Form testing documentation</h1>

<h2>Submitting a simple form</h2>
|
||
|
|
</a>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|

<p>
|
||
|
|
When a page is fetched by the <span class="new_code">WebTestCase</span>
|
||
|
|
using <span class="new_code">get()</span> or
|
||
|
|
<span class="new_code">post()</span> the page content is
|
||
|
|
automatically parsed.
|
||
|
|
This results in any form controls that are inside <form> tags
|
||
|
|
being available from within the test case.
|
||
|
|
For example, if we have this snippet of HTML...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<form>
|
||
|
|
<input type="text" name="a" value="A default" />
|
||
|
|
<input type="submit" value="Go" />
|
||
|
|
</form>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Which looks like this...
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<form class="demo">
|
||
|
|
<input type="text" name="a" value="A default">
|
||
|
|
<input type="submit" value="Go">
|
||
|
|
</form>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
We can navigate to this code, via the
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php">LastCraft</a>
|
||
|
|
site, with the following test...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
|
||
|
|
<strong>
|
||
|
|
function testDefaultValue() {
|
||
|
|
$this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php');
|
||
|
|
$this->assertField('a', 'A default');
|
||
|
|
}</strong>
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Immediately after loading the page all of the HTML controls are set at
|
||
|
|
their default values just as they would appear in the web browser.
|
||
|
|
The assertion tests that a HTML widget exists in the page with the
|
||
|
|
name "a" and that it is currently set to the value
|
||
|
|
"A default"
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
We could submit the form straight away, but first we'll change
|
||
|
|
the value of the text field and only then submit it...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
function testDefaultValue() {
|
||
|
|
$this->get('http://www.my-site.com/');
|
||
|
|
$this->assertField('a', 'A default');<strong>
|
||
|
|
$this->setField('a', 'New value');
|
||
|
|
$this->clickSubmit('Go');</strong>
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Because we didn't specify a method attribute on the form tag, and
|
||
|
|
didn't specify an action either, the test case will follow
|
||
|
|
the usual browser behaviour of submitting the form data as a <em>GET</em>
|
||
|
|
request back to the same location.
|
||
|
|
SimpleTest tries to emulate typical browser behaviour as much as possible,
|
||
|
|
rather than attempting to catch missing attributes on tags.
|
||
|
|
This is because the target of the testing framework is the PHP application
|
||
|
|
logic, not syntax or other errors in the HTML code.
|
||
|
|
For HTML errors, other tools such as
|
||
|
|
<a href="http://www.w3.org/People/Raggett/tidy/">HTMLTidy</a> should be used.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If a field is not present in any form, or if an option is unavailable,
|
||
|
|
then <span class="new_code">WebTestCase::setField()</span> will return
|
||
|
|
<span class="new_code">false</span>.
|
||
|
|
For example, suppose we wish to verify that a "Superuser"
|
||
|
|
option is not present in this form...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Select type of user to add:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<select name="type">
|
||
|
|
<option>Subscriber</option>
|
||
|
|
<option>Author</option>
|
||
|
|
<option>Administrator</option>
|
||
|
|
</select>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Which looks like...
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<form class="demo">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Select type of user to add:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<select name="type">
|
||
|
|
<option>Subscriber</option>
|
||
|
|
<option>Author</option>
|
||
|
|
<option>Administrator</option>
|
||
|
|
</select>
|
||
|
|
</form>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
The following test will confirm it...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
|
||
|
|
...
|
||
|
|
function testNoSuperuserChoiceAvailable() {<strong>
|
||
|
|
$this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php');
|
||
|
|
$this->assertFalse($this->setField('type', 'Superuser'));</strong>
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
The selection will not be changed on a failure to set
|
||
|
|
a widget value.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Here is the full list of widgets currently supported...
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li>Text fields, including hidden and password fields.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Submit buttons including the button tag, although not yet reset buttons</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Text area. This includes text wrapping behaviour.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Checkboxes, including multiple checkboxes in the same form.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Drop down selections, including multiple selects.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Radio buttons.</li>
|
||
|
|
<li>Images.</li>
|
||
|
|
</ul>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
Although most standard HTML widgets are catered for by <em>SimpleTest</em>'s
|
||
|
|
built in parser, it is unlikely that JavaScript will be implemented
|
||
|
|
anytime soon.
|
||
|

<h2>Fields with multiple values</h2>

</a>

</p>

SimpleTest can cope with two types of multivalue controls: Multiple
|
||
|
|
selection drop downs, and multiple checkboxes with the same name
|
||
|
|
within a form.
|
||
|
|
The multivalue nature of these means that setting and testing
|
||
|
|
are slightly different.
|
||
|
|
Using checkboxes as an example...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
<form class="demo">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Create privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="c" checked><br>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Retrieve privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="r" checked><br>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Update privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="u" checked><br>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Destroy privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="d" checked><br>
|
||
|
|
<input type="submit" value="Enable Privileges">
|
||
|
|
</form>
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Which renders as...
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<form class="demo">
|
||
|
|
<strong>Create privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="c" checked>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Retrieve privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="r" checked>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Update privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="u" checked>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<strong>Destroy privileges allowed:</strong>
|
||
|
|
<input type="checkbox" name="crud" value="d" checked>
|
||
|
|
<br>
|
||
|
|
<input type="submit" value="Enable Privileges">
|
||
|
|
</form>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If we wish to disable all but the retrieval privileges and
|
||
|
|
submit this information we can do it like this...
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
|
||
|
|
...<strong>
|
||
|
|
function testDisableNastyPrivileges() {
|
||
|
|
$this->get('http://www.lastcraft.com/form_testing_documentation.php');
|
||
|
|
$this->assertField('crud', array('c', 'r', 'u', 'd'));
|
||
|
|
$this->setField('crud', array('r'));
|
||
|
|
$this->clickSubmit('Enable Privileges');
|
||
|
|
}</strong>
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
Instead of setting the field to a single value, we give it a list
|
||
|
|
of values.
|
||
|
|
We do the same when testing expected values.
|
||
|
|
We can then write other test code to confirm the effect of this, perhaps
|
||
|
|
by logging in as that user and attempting an update.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
<a class="target" name="raw">
|
||
|
|
<h2>Raw posting</h2>
|
||
|
|
</a>
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>
|
||
|
|
If you want to test a form handler, but have not yet written
|
||
|
|
or do not have access to the form itself, you can create a
|
||
|
|
form submission by hand.
|
||
|
|
<pre>
|
||
|
|
class SimpleFormTests extends WebTestCase {
|
||
|
|
...<strong>
|
||
|
|
function testAttemptedHack() {
|
||
|
|
$this->post(
|
||
|
|
'http://www.my-site.com/add_user.php',
|
||
|
|
array('type' => 'superuser'));
|
||
|
|
$this->assertNoUnwantedPattern('/user created/i');
|
||
|
|
}</strong>
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre>
|
||
|
|
By adding data to the <span class="new_code">WebTestCase::post()</span>
|
||
|
|
method, we are attempting to fetch the page as a form submission.
