[Zope3-dev] Functional testing of XML-RPC views

[Christian Theune]

Hi,

I just wanted to functionally test an XML-RPC view and saw that
currently those requests are hand crafted using http().

Wolfgang and I came up with a special transport for
xmlrpclib.ServerProxy as a wrapper to http() so you can use


  >>> from zope.app.testing.xmlrpc import ServerProxy
  >>> proxy = ServerProxy("http://mgr:mgrpw@localhost/")
  >>> proxy.xy

to do functional testing of XML-RPC views in Zope 3 now.

I changed the publisher xmlrpc tests to use this utility now. This has
two meanings

1) Those tests now both test the XML-RPC testing utility and the publisher
2) Those tests now have a bit different semantics: Instead of comparing
exact request strings for the XML-RPC message the tests now test whether
the xmlrpclib is able to talk to the view.

I'd like some feedback on this change before checking this in to the trunk.

Christian
