Meetings/Test framework/2010-12-16

General discussion:

  • Markus: The whole framework was moved from to the top level
  • Markus: this page updated by Zak and Markus: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SeleniumFramework
  • Broken paths
    • Priyanka: some of the tests seem to be broken
    • Markus: seems to be related to the paths. Maybe we need $wgTestDirectory ?
    • Priyanka: not a fan of adding new global
    • Markus: how about making test paths relative to parent test
    • Priyanka: sounds good

Old action items:

  • Markus - clean up and check in prototype clean db and repo mechanism
  • Priyanka - review Markus' work
  • Markus - figure out how to run installer tests from the test server without logging in and without setting up a test cookie on the wiki under test.
  • (done) Jinesh/Nadeesha - send note to wikitech-l for test plan review + automation plan
    • About 60% done with installer tests

New action items:

  • Markus - clean up and check in prototype clean db and repo mechanism
  • Priyanka - review Markus' work
  • Markus - figure out how to run installer tests from the test server without logging in and without setting up a test cookie on the wiki under test.
  • Jinesh - see if there's interim work that can be committed
  • Nadeesha - check in installer tests
  • Priyanka - figure out a set of standard configuration options that each test suite should set
  • Priyanka - Make all test paths relative to a path that's set only once in some parent of the test so that path refactors are easier

Backlog:

  • Get things up and working on the grid
  • hexmode - See whether we we can use PHPUnit's SeleniumFramework instead of Testing_selenium
  • (group) - figure out how to run tests against browsers simultaneously
