You should use an integration/funtional layer in this test.<br><br>The name is not really an unit test. It is an acceptance test.<br>You can do it in 3 ways:<br><br>1) Test directly in the View class API, instantiating it with the TestRequest class as parameter. This is called "Under the skin"(<a href="http://codebetter.com/blogs/jeremy.miller/archive/2006/06/08/146233.aspx">http://codebetter.com/blogs/jeremy.miller/archive/2006/06/08/146233.aspx</a>)<br>
<br>2) User the zopetestbrowser - Best option if your view doesn't have any javascript and you don't need a browser or an "Your Application" instance up and running to run the test.<br>Here you will need to use TestRequest as well.<br>
<br>3) Use selenium. But you will need to put an application instance running in order to run your tests.<br><br>good testing!<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2009/4/8 Wichert Akkerman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:wichert@wiggy.net">wichert@wiggy.net</a>></span><br>
