Massimo, I implied in my previous post, that I don't use web2py's built-in testing. This brings me to a question...what is the "test" directory for under the application root? Since the admin interface only runs doctests, what would be a good way of running a unittest that I place in /applications/init/tests/ ?
This sort of setup, combined with selenium-rc, would be the ultimate in web app testing (well almost, but it's really close). -tim Timothy Farrell wrote: > An excellent question.
