    v61 v62  
    110110
    111111The option --suite will run certain predefined tests. At the moment it supports '''smoke''', which runs a test to look for broken urls otherwise it will run all the tests. If a class or method are selected then this option is ignored. For the smoke test to work you need to install two packages, [http://twill.idyll.org/ twill] and [http://pypi.python.org/pypi/mechanize/ mechanize], since twill uses mechanize if you install via a package manager then you probably only need to install twill.

     113== Useful Information about the test suite ==
     114
     115=== Tests for each template ===
     116
     117* The tests to be run on a template are explicitly defined in {{{private/templates/<template_name>/tests.py}}} file.
     118* The list {{{current.selenium_tests}}} in the above file contains the class names of all the tests which are to be run for the template.
     119
     120=== Functions ===
     121The test suite provides the following functions -
     122
     123==== login ====
     124* Usage - {{{login(account, nexturl)}}}
     125* {{{account}}} is the user with whom we wish to login. Typically, "admin".
     126* {{{nexturl}}} is the url to be visited after logging in the user.
     127
     128==== create ====
     129
     130Used to create records in the database.
     131
     132* Usage - {{{create(table_name, data)}}}
     133* {{{table_name}}} is the name of the table in which we wish to insert records
     134* {{{data}}} is a list of tuples, where each tuple represents information about one field in the table.
     135 * Eg - [ ( column_name1, data1, ... ), ( column_name2, data2, ... ), .. so on ]
     136* The test suite automatically determines the following field types from the HTML class names in the create form -
     137 * option(dropdown)
     138 * autocomplete
     139 * date
     140 * datetime
     141 * normal text input
     142* Hence, for the above field types, just 2 arguments need to be provided in the tuple - column name and data to be inserted.
     143 * Eg - {{{ (organisation_id, "International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies") }}}
     144* For other field types listed below, an appropriate third argument needs to be provided.
     145 * checkbox
     146 * Embedded form fields -
     147  * Eg - "pr_person" embedded in "hrm_human_resource"
     148 * Specific widgets -
     149  * inv_widget
     150  * supply_widget
     151  * facility_widget
     152  * gis_location
     153
     154* Selection of the option from the dropdown field -
     155 * Longest Word Trimmed Search is used - Amongst the options in the dropdown field, the option which has most number of word matches with the input string(in the test data) is selected.
     156* Note : In case of filling in an organisation name, the data should not contain both name and acronym.
     157 * Eg - correct usage : {{{ (organisation_id, "International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies") }}}
     158 * Incorrect usage : {{{ (organisation_id, "International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC)") }}}
     159
     160==== Search ====
     161
     162* Usage - {{{ search(form_type, results_expected, fields, row_count, **kwargs) }}}
     163* form_type: This can either be search.simple_form or search.advanced_form
     164* results_expected: Are results expected? : True/False
     165* fields : a tuple of dictionaries, each dictionary specifying a field which is to be checked/unchecked in the form.
     166* row_count : Expected row count
     167 * {{{ {"tablename":tablename, "key":key, "filters":[(field,value),...]} }}} can be passed to get the resource and eventually the DB row count.
     168
     169==== report ====
     170
     171* Usage - {{{ report(fields, report_of, grouped_by, report_fact, *args, **kwargs) }}}
     172* fields : a tuple of dictionaries, each dictionary specifying a field which is to be checked/unchecked in the form.
     173* report_of : The field whose report is to be formed. The option in 'Report of'
     174* grouped_by : The field for which the report is to be grouped by. The option in 'Grouped by'
     175* report_fact : The option in 'Value'
