Hi,
I think that in a (near?) future, we should provide support for the javascript confirm() function. A natural way to
handle it would be to have the possibility to write tests like:
<clicklink htmlid="myLink"/>
<jsConfirm accept="true"/>
The problem is that it would be quite difficult to implement currently. Indeed if the raised confirm() is a consequence
of the clicked link, it would be necessary to handle it before having finished with the clicklink step. An other
solution would be to have the <jsConfirm> nested in the <clicklink> but first it's not as natural and second all
"action" steps (<clickXXX>, <setXXX>, ...) should accept it.
I think that the solution to the problem (for long winter nights) would be to use 2 threads, simulating the user (the
webtest steps) and its browser (htmlunit), the first one performing actions on the second.
What do you think (I can develop more if needed)?
Marc.
