[arquillian-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (ARQGRA-331) Graphene guards fails when page stores reference to XMLHttpRequest before Graphene rewrites them

[Lukáš Fryč (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/ARQGRA-331?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12801239#comment-12801239 ] 

Lukáš Fryč commented on ARQGRA-331:
-----------------------------------

In certain situations, a workaround could be to rewrite the XHR reference, which is possible only on circumstances that the copied XMLHttpRequest reference is accessible globally (isn't encapsulated) - which unfortunately isn't your case.

Just for evidence, here is a workaround:

{code}
    @ArquillianResource
    JavascriptExecutor executor;

    @JavaScript
    RequestGuard guard;

    @Test
    public void test() {
        browser.get("http://localhost:8080/jboss-as-kitchensink-angularjs/");
        guard.install();
        executor.executeScript("window.xhrReference = window.XMLHttpRequest;");
    
        // now you are prepared
    }
{code}

However compiled angular.js encapsulates XHR object in a closure, so you can't overwrite it

> Graphene guards do not work correctly in the [AngularJS Kitchensink quickstart|https://github.com/jboss-jdf/jboss-as-quickstart/tree/master/kitchensink-angularjs].
> The registration form sends a XHR POST request on submit, but this is not recognized and clicking on the submit button with {{guardAjax(registerButton).click()}} throws an exception: "{{RequestGuardException: Request type 'XHR' was expected, but type 'NONE' was done instead}}".
