I do use Creator when I want to test listener methods, but I also want to use HtmlUnit to check the rendered output. I don't know how to give my page the input it needs to render that output. The pages in question derive the input from an injected service which draws the info from the database. During testing, I am using an in-memory instance of HSQL which has no data in it at startup. Am I totally misusing the tools here?
Thanks for your help, Rob -----Original Message----- From: James Carman [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Sunday, May 07, 2006 7:47 AM To: Tapestry users Subject: Re: Testing pages You shouldn't necessarily use HiveMind at all during unit testing. How would you propose that HiveMind inject a mock object? Mock objects have to be trained. You'd have to write a special ServiceImplementationFactory to create the mock object and train it just so HiveMind could inject it. That's overkill, IMHO. I'd just use the Creator to create your pages. > I don't know how, but somehow my original response wound up on the > wrong thread.
