Recording a testΒΆ
You can use fl-record
to record your navigator activity, this
requires the TCPWatch python proxy see installation for
information on how to install TCPWatch.
Start the recorder:
fl-record basic_navigation
This will output something like this:
Hit Ctrl-C to stop recording. HTTP proxy listening on :8090 Recording to directory /tmp/tmpaYDky9_funkload.
- Setup your browser proxy and play your scenario
in Firefox: Edit > Preferencies > General; Connection Settings set localhost:8090 as your HTTP proxy
Play your scenario using your navigator
Hit Ctrl-C to stop recording:
^C # Saving uploaded file: foo.png # Saving uploaded file: bar.pdf Creating script: ./test_BasicNavigation.py. Creating configuration file: ./BasicNavigation.conf.You now have a new module test_BaiscNavigation file with its configuration file. Ready to be tested, refer to the tutorial to learn how to turn it into a workable test.
To add more requests to your test, just use fl-record
without
parameters, performs your requests on the browser then hit
Ctrl-C. fl-record
will output the code ready to be paste in your
test case.
$ fl-record
HTTP proxy listening on :8090
Recording to directory /tmp/tmptOl7jh_funkload.
^C
TCPWatch finished.
self.post(server_url + "/booking/register.seam", params=[
['registration', 'registration'],
['registration:usernameDecorate:username', 'scott'],
['registration:nameDecorate:name', 'scott'],
['registration:passwordDecorate:password', 'tiger'],
['registration:verifyDecorate:verify', 'tiger'],
['registration:register', 'Register'],

Note that fl-record
:
- works fine with multi-part encoded form and file upload.
- handles automaticly JSF Myfaces token, which enable to easily record and play any JBoss Seam application.
- doesn’t support HTTPS, the work around is to first record a scenario on HTTP, and then change the url back to https in the configuration file.
