Hi,
I have some difficulties to use the actual Selenium framework for testing MW and an extension:
- In trunk, selenium tests are both in tests/selenium and maintenance/tests/selenium. Why is that?
- If I want to test Mediawiki versions other than the latest, how would I do that if files for both the testrunner and the application under test are only in trunk?
Or is there just too much going on for Selenium testing at the moment that one should wait?
Regards,
Benedikt

Hi Benedikt, I will get back to you on this tomorrow. Thanks Janesh

A nice, distilled reflection on the experience of fostering the open source community particularly around the Bugzilla project. Some salient points and food for thought for our community.

Hi Janesh,
We checked with latest trunk and test scripts available only at tests/selenium. Earlier test were located at maintenance/tests/selenium but later moved to one level up. So now the tests should be available only at tests/selenium level.
The tests were written against latest code because the idea is to regress test the system after latest changes. We can use the scripts against older versions if there are no major changes which would break the script.
Details of Selenium framework is available at http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/SeleniumFramework and there is a readme file which describes the behavior for installer test scripts.

Thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately, I still don't know how to apply testing to older MW versions. I am familiar with the documentation, it is good, but does not answer all relevant questions. But I will figure out...
Keep up the good work!
Best,
Benedikt

Selenium support has only existed in 1.17/trunk, so it's not really possible to setup for older versions.

Hi Benedict,
at the moment, the framework is still work in progress, so it is not shipped with any current releases (afaik). Also, using it requires some changes in the includes folder as well as the new maintenance class, which is not available until MW 1.16. But there is hope for you, I know at least one implementation of the framework with MW 1.15.3 ;) I put some notes on backporting the framework on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium_Framework#Backporting, although this may not yet be exhaustive.
Cheers, Markus

Thanks!
The reason I asked is that SMW currently is tested for MW versions below 1.18.
