In-Browser Testing with TestCase

[Devin]

I've been working on testing here at Disqus. Since a lot of our
application is javascript, I've been working with Selenium.

So to integrate Selenium tests with the test framework already in
place, I've added live server support for TestCase for ticket 2879.

With this, I can run in-browser tests alongside regular Django tests
with full fixture support. It might be of use to anyone else doing
significant Django testing.

Cheers,

That's pretty cool. Any chance you could provide an example of a test
that uses Selenium to show how it works? Presumably you're using the
Python driver for Selenium RC?

Cheers,

I've included just such an example in the changes to the documentation
I've included in the patch. http://code.djangoproject.com/attachment/ticket/2879/django_live_server.diff

I am primarily using the python driver for Selenium RC, but once a
live test server's started, you can poke and prod using anything you
want.

Feel free to let me know if you have further questions, as if there's
anything unclear, I'd like to roll it into an improvement on the
patch.

Have a good one,
Devin
