[jboss-dev-forums] [Design of JBoss jBPM] - Web Console unit test adventures

I've been working on getting the unit tests working for the web console, and I've run across a couple of snags. First, there is a bug in httpunit 1.6, still present in 1.6.2 (which is the newest version), which causes it to fail to parse valid XHTML properly. I've got a patch in with the maintainer and with any luck he'll put out a new version shortly. In the meantime, I've been using a patched 1.6.2 locally. Second, and perhaps more seriously, there's a bug in jwebunit 1.2 (also XHTML-related) that prevents the tests from passing. Basically it has to do with not being namespace-aware. It's a simple fix, so I thought I'd see if it was corrected in 1.3. Unfortunately, 1.3 is a fairly substantial rewrite involving a very large number of dependancies. Here's the full list: avalon-framework-4.1.3.jar - New to jBPM, but exists in the repository commons-codec-1.3.jar - New to jBPM, but exists in the repository commons-collections-3.2.jar - We're using 3.1, so we'd have to test this commons-httpclient-3.0.1.jar - We've got this one commons-io-1.2.jar - New to jBPM, not in repository commons-lang-2.1.jar - New to jBPM, but exists in the repository commons-logging-1.1.jar - We're using 1.0.4; it shouldn't hurt to upgrade but we'd still have to test htmlunit-1.9.jar - This is a new dependency; I'm not sure where it comes from or what the license is yet icu4j-2.6.1.jar - This is a new dependency; I'm not sure where it comes from or what the license is yet jaxen-1.1-beta-9.jar - We're using 1.1-beta-6 currently, repository does not have beta-9 yet jdom-1.0.jar - New dependency, not in repository js-1.6R2.jar - New dependency, not in repository; comes from Mozilla so license is probably OK (?) junit-3.8.2.jar - We're using 3.8.1, upgrade is probably fine log4j-1.2.12.jar - We're using 1.2.8, upgrade is probably fine logkit-1.0.1.jar - This is a new dependency; I'm not sure where it comes from or what the license is yet nekohtml-0.9.5.jar - Repository has 0.9.1, so we'd have to update that regexp-1.3.jar - This is Jakarta regexp. Exists in repository, new to jBPM servlet-api-2.4.jar - Got it already tagsoup-0.9.7.jar - This is a new dependency; I'm not sure where it comes from or what the license is yet xalan-2.6.0.jar - In repository xercesImpl-2.6.2.jar - We're using 2.7.1, but it should work fine; we're only using it for unit tests anyway xml-apis-1.0.b2.jar - I don't think this is needed xmlParserAPIs-2.6.2.jar - I don't think this is needed xom-1.0b3.jar - Not sure if this is needed, but if so, it's not in the repository Incidentally, applying the fix to 1.2 is pretty simple. The question becomes, do we want to continue to work from a modified old version, or should we go through the work of getting all these extra dependencies for the purpose of unit testing?
