[Monetdb-developers] Tests for XQuery admin GUI (-functionality)
Peter, Jennie, we should consider adding tests (or identifying them clearly if they already exist) that mimic the functionality required by the XQuery admin GUI. If you could provide me with input what is required and needs to be tested, I could help designing/implementing the actual tests. Please see also the following bug reports: fixed: [ 1995879 ] algebra kills admin GUI https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1995879&group_id=56967&atid=482468 OPEN: [ 1899258 ] PF: Error message with Administrative Console https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1899258&group_id=56967&atid=482468 [ 1989573 ] no collections in db while collections do exist https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1989573&group_id=56967&atid=482468 [ 1990815 ] backup creates 8.5GB data from 78MB database https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1990815&group_id=56967&atid=482468 Stefan -- | Dr. Stefan Manegold | mailto:Stefan.Manegold@cwi.nl | | CWI, P.O.Box 94079 | http://www.cwi.nl/~manegold/ | | 1090 GB Amsterdam | Tel.: +31 (20) 592-4212 | | The Netherlands | Fax : +31 (20) 592-4312 |
Hi Stefan, There are no tests yet for the functionalities of the admin GUI and I agree that there is an urgent need to add them. One that can be easily done is adding tests containing XQuery queries that call the admin functions over XRPC. This way, it is slightly easier to know in which part the problem is, if things go wrong. Another possibility might be to add a small (C) program that sends the same request messages as what the admin interface does, and check if the response messages are as expected. The reason that we still don't have tests for the admin GUI is that I really don't know how to mimic/trigger the 'click' actions in (different) web browsers and check if the results are expected. So, if anyone has an idea how to test the admin GUI on different OS-s, on different (versions of) web browsers, I would love to know.

The problem is caused by a bug in libxml2 version 2.6.31. Since a new version of libxml2 has been released, this problem is solved (tested by the demo). I think we can close this bug. What would be a proper resolution for this bug, fixed/invalid/out-of-date? Regards, Jennie

I could not think of s simple way to simulate web browser clicks, either (well, there are tools that, e.g., record and replay interactive sessions, but they do no easily fit into our testing environment), but since each click results in a request sent to the server via XRPC, using scripts and/or (C-) programs that send all relevant/used requests to a server via XRPC and test the correctness of the result (by simply dumping it to stdout or into a file and have Mtest/Mdiff check it as usually), would indeed be a good starting point, and possibly even "sufficient" for the time being.

out-of-date seems reasonable to me. Stefan

Jennie, with the conference trip, vacation and deadline belonging to the past, would you have time to have a look at potential (non-interactive) tests that test the MonetDB/XQuery + XRPC functionality as required by the administrative GUI?
