Carlos Romero [http://community.jboss.org/people/gatperdut] created the discussion "jsfunit - test failures due to illegalstate and nullpointers" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/644281#644281 -------------------------------------------------------------- Hello all, I'm trying to run an interface tests with JSFUnit. Right now my only concern is writing some text (spiderman, for instance) in a search box (filters:text_anno), clicking on a search button, and recovering the bean with the results in order to check it is producing what's actually expected. Thing is, I'm facing a couple of problems. a) Once I simulate a click on the search button (client.click("filters:searchButton");)the resulting control obtained via client.getElement() is empty. However, if I access the running application via a web browser and repeat the same steps, I can see it gets filled. The control is a dropdown menu, the options of which act as a further filter for the results. Perhaps it's a problem with the tests running too fast for the controls to be refreshed, so to speak? Of course, trying to click one of the non-existent options results in a null pointer exception. b)If I don't try to further filter the results (that is, not choosing anything in the dropdown menu) and instead just recover the results bean, I get an IllegalStateException. The test code I'm running is the following: package com.playence.media.test; import java.io.IOException; import java.net.URL; import java.util.Iterator; import javax.faces.application.Application;
