Here's the plan to get things started:
- New BaseTest subclass: UITest
- Basic API to instantiate and access components
- Hierarchy (e.g., /subsystem, /helpers)
- Placeholders for testing components: Toolbar, AboutHome, AppMenu, and CommonUtils.

(Re-posting my message to the mailing list here for better context)
If you ever worked on tests based on our robocop harness, you probably noticed how unpleasant it is to work on them. Our current UI testing code suffers from two major problems:
- Inconsistency/verbosity: The tests and their underlying API are very ad-hoc. We're duplicating a lot of code, the code is very verbose, and the current structure with BaseTest subclasses doesn't scale well and almost inevitably leads to bloated classes with tons of unrelated APIs.
- Unreliability: The tests themselves are unreliable in many ways. Each test pokes the UI in a different way to check the same things.
I've been doing some explorations around a new API for UI testing in Fennec. Last week, some of us (from the front-end team) met to do some brainstorming and outline how we want the new API to look like.
The goals for the new API are pretty obvious. We want UI tests to be:
1. Simple to write and extend
2. Consistently written
3. Reliable
I believe the very first step towards these goals is to add structure to our existing UI testing code. I'd like to avoid big rewrites from day one. So our plan is to build the new API *on top* of the current robocop harness and *in parallel* to existing UI tests. This way can gradually build the new API and port existing UI tests without causing any big disruptions.
The new structure won't necessarily help in terms of reliability, but the new API should indirectly help us in this front by providing a more consistent code base to work on.
The general principles of the new API are:
- It should be split into self-contained components covering different parts of the UI.
- It should provide clear ways to extend the framework to cover new UI components and/or behaviours.
- Each component should contain API to interact with and assert expected behaviour on specific parts of the UI.
- Components should be modular enough that we can easily use multiple components in a single test.
With that mind, here's the patch that bootstraps the new API. A few implementation details:
- Note how I haven't changed any of the existing tests or harness utils classes. Remember, we're building the new API in parallel. We can probably replace or rewrite the harness code later if we need. But that's not necessary at this point.
- Tests using the new API should inherit from UITest, which is completely independent from the BaseTest-based stuff.
- All assertions are done using FEST-Assert and FEST-Android. They provide a fluent API for assertions and a well defined framework to create our custom assertions when necessary.
- For now, I only bootstrapped enough of the TOOLBAR and ABOUTHOME components to give a more concrete idea of what the API should look like.
- UI testing components have a fluent/chainable API and implement their own FEST assertions.
- Reusable testing bits were consolidated into helper classes. For now, I've only added ViewHelper, GestureHelper, WaitHelper, and UITestCommon. We'll probably create more as we go.
- I wrote two sample tests (testNewTabHistory and testAboutHomeVisibility) just to give a clearer sense of how the API would be used in tests. They don't need to be pushed to repo just yet.
- Reflection code is now done using FEST-Reflect. It provides a fluent API for reflection. Much cleaner.
Knows issues and open questions:
- Using FEST means we won't be doing assertions using FennecMochitestAssert or FennecTalosAssert. I noticed that these classes do a whole bunch of logging (i.e. one log message per assertion). Not sure how important this is. I'd like to understand the logging requirements a bit better here to adapt the new API accordingly.
- A whole bunch of things that I haven't considered yet based on your feedback :-)
The patch in bug 910859 only implements the bare minimum API to get things started. We'll have to extend it as we try to port existing tests to the new structure. Once this patch lands in m-c, we can start working in different components and tests in parallel (see meta bug 910791).
The patch is not yet ready for review but definitely ready for feedback. Drive-by reviews are very welcome.

Review of attachment 798840 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I'm nervous about bringing the FEST stuff in here. It seems unrelated to the goals of this project, and having more frameworks in place seems really likely to cause confusion and errors.
The reflection bits sound nice, but again, I don't think they save you a whole lot, and the docs are going to be harder to find? Do we need two ways to do everything?
i.e. the isTablet reflection looks like:
final ClassLoader cl = activity.getClassLoader();
Class cls = classLoader.loadClass("org.mozilla.gecko.GeckoAppShell");
Method method = cls.getMethod("isTablet", null);
boolean ret = ((Boolean) method.invoke(null)).booleanValue();
vs.
final ClassLoader cl = activity.getClassLoader();
final Class appShellClass = type(APP_SHELL_CLASS).withClassLoader(cl).load();
boolean isTablet = method("isTablet").withReturnType(Boolean.class)
.in(appShellClass)
.invoke();
Making our current asserts fluent seems neat and pretty trivial if you wanted to. I don't think anyone is going to complain if you fix them, but again, its also seems unrelated to this?

I disagree. FEST is a core part of this proposal. The goal here is to streamline the way we write tests. FEST provides exactly that for assertions. It covers most of built-in types in Java and it's way more readable than our current (cryptic) assert bits. In theory, we could come up with a similar custom framework but that's a non-trivial amount of code that I don't think we should have to maintain.
So, I actually think using FEST will make our UI testing code *less* confusing and error-prone.

This is about streamlining our API. Maybe this is not the most verbose case of reflection code (which is where FEST-Reflect can make a bigger difference?). I don't feel as strongly about it as I feel about FEST-Assert though.

The FEST stuff doesn't only apply to our components. It applies to anything (Android type, java types, etc). In summary: using FEST here means that we'll always assert stuff in the same way through a much more readable API.

The idea here is abstract the different ways to "go back" on phones and tablets. You don't want tests to handle that locally. Besides, the UI to go back on phones is actually the system back button. If pressing back doesn't actually go back is something that tests themselves have to properly handle case by case, no?

This technically doesn't fit the contract of a WaitTest, does it? In this case it should return true iff the home pager view has the expected item, but AFAIK we don't have a way to test that without asserting it. Which might be a more general problem (being able to get state without necessarily asserting it).

The overridingErrorMessage syntax seems a bit clunky although I guess we inherit that from FEST?

Yeah, I don't think I agree here. Very very very very few (none?) of the issues with our current tests are driven by the fact that our asserts are 'cryptic'. Hence, this seems orthogonal to the real goal here.
i.e. you're taking something that would read:
mAsserter.is(Toolbar.getTitle(), UITestCommon.BLANK01_TITLE, "Title is correct");
mAsserter.is(Toolbar.getURL(), UITestCommon.BLANK01_TITLE, "Url is correct");
and writing:
assertThat(TOOLBAR).hasTitle(UITestCommon.BLANK01_TITLE)
.hasUrl(UITestCommon.BLANK01_URL);
and in return, we're giving up a lot of control over asserts, and introducing two competing frameworks for the same thing in our test harness. I don't hate the FEST bit, but it seems like it should
1.) Be a separate bug and
2.) Be done unilaterally to avoid the "why do we do this here and that there?" questions that led to a lot of this test fragmentation to begin with. i.e. people are going to copy/paste code. We should make it so doing so doesn't result in badness.

"go back" is the vague term here, right? It can mean two different things. I don't think our toolbar back button should always do the same thing as hitting the android back button (it doesn't in other apps that have a "back" button in the actionbar either). Abstracting them as if they are the same seems likely to fail?

I think a helpers package would be useful here to prevent unreasonable bloating. Specifically, the "components" and "helpers" packages seem useful.
Overall, looks pretty good! I think there are a few formatting changes that need to be made to discourage accidental bloating though (i.e. miscellaneous helper class, test names - see the comments)

I don't think the distinction between the methods included here and in UITest is clear. This class should probably be called *Helper. Perhaps it can be split up with a NavigationHelper (goBack, goPrevious, etc.) and a few other separate helpers (blockForGeckoReady())?
Having a miscellaneous helper is dangerous because it encourages dumping functions into one massive file rather than creating a new helper file if you find that your function does not fit anywhere else (since there's no miscellaneous file to put it in).

This call (and similar ones in other base classes should be encapsulated in a "assertCorrectlyInitialized()" function. Though it's just one call now, if the constructor is ever expanded, it'll become a copy-and-paste nightmare. Additionally, it makes a better call stack if it fails:

This test name is inaccurate because more than visibility is being tested.
In my opinion, the tests should be have a smaller scope than types of tests we wrote with the previous framework. If a test is called testAboutHomeVisibility, it should ONLY make assertions about what is or is not visible in about:home.
In this case, enterAndLoadUrl should assert enough state internally that we know that the appropriate page was loaded correctly. Thus, assuming we don't need the .hasTitle assertions to assert state, this test could be refactored into at least two tests: testAboutHomeVisibility and testPageNavigationTitles/Urls/something. They can have the same copy and pasted interaction pattern, but I feel it makes debugging easier ("oh, about:home visibility failed and is broken!" vs. "about:home visibility failed because the page titles are broken").
More importantly, it better helps to show what has already been tested. If I make an update to page titles, I shouldn't have to know to update testAboutHomeVisibility - I only have to update testPageNavigationTitles. Additionally, when adding features and the associated tests, it's easier to see "Oh! Page titles have never been tested! I should add a thorough test larger than the feature I added!".

What kind of control would we want to keep? AFAIK, the only reason we might want control over the asserts is harness logging, which I'm not yet sure is something actually relevant for us (still waiting for feedback on that from gbrown & co). Even so, we can probably find a FEST-based solution for it.
As for your point about competing frameworks, keep in mind that we'll have to keep the old and new API in parallel for some time. This is the only reason why I haven't completely removed the assert APIs from the Assert interface. Note how the old assert APIs are not used at all in the new API code.

What would doing this in a follow-up bug give us? My goal with this patch is to set the general 'tone' for the new API. And this includes the way we do assertions, which is a core part of any testing API i.e. they are definitely the most frequent thing we do in any test code. If we do this in a follow-up bug, it will get more and more annoying to port the existing assertions to FEST later as the code based on the new API will only grow with time. Also, it won't necessarily be a simple replacement. There are some API design decisions based on this. For instance, we don't necessarily need getters like getTitle()/getUrl() in the components if we take the FEST-based route. So, I would be great if we could decide on this sooner rather than later.
Just to be clear, the reason I really like FEST is:
1. It's more much more expressive. FEST assertions almost read like plain English.
2. It streamlines the way we assert in our tests, and provides a nice base for new types of assertions.
3. It's concise, as opposed to the current asserts that look mostly like boilerplate.
4. It's fun to use!
The main drawback I see here is that it's a new API we'll have to learn. The fact that none of us use an IDE (with some magic autocompletion) will make it slightly less convenient to explore the available assertions. But we'll get better at it as we go.
As for your point 2, see my comment above. The only reason why I kept the existing assertion API is because we have to keep the old API around for the existing tests. If you take the FEST route, all assertions will be FEST-based. If you're thinking about copy/pasting happening from old API to new, I would be surprised if that happens, but who knows? ;-)

I understand your point about using system back button to mean "go back" might lead to failure in some tests but what would be the alternative to that? This is *the* phone UI to "go back" after all.
This is just code I imported from BaseTest.Navigation by the way. It's not new code. Whatever we decide here, it should probably be fixed in BaseTest too.

Review of attachment 798840 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
I appreciate that you have taken this on and hopeful that this effort will improve the reliability of the test suite. From my perspective, reliability (few intermittent failures *and* a high probability of failure when the function under test fails) is the most important and most elusive goal.
I like the basic structure. I have slight misgivings about the number of getXxx() functions that seem to be required to do anything.
> The goals for the new API are pretty obvious. We want UI tests to be:

Keep in mind that Robocop is used by different people/groups for various purposes and some flexibility will be necessary. You may need to settle for groups of consistent tests!

That makes me nervous. Part of the confusion in today's Robocop is that it contains several attempts at frameworks for tests: BaseTest (or something) is extended to provide some useful function, and then that function is used in a few tests, but older tests continue doing something similar in a completely different way. If you create a new way to write tests, but keep all the old code, you will only make this situation worse! It will be much better if all the existing tests are ported to UITests.

One function of the logging is to write to a file. The test harness pulls that file and dumps in along with other info like device info and the logcat. Keep in mind that the logcat picked up and dumped in tbpl logs is rarely complete.
The log format (especially bits like TEST-PASS/UNEXPECTED-FAIL) was influenced by existing test log formats (especially mochitest). There are test harness and tbpl scripts that rely on these formats to identify test pass/fail and report the assertion pass/fail counts. Those are generally regexes that could be modified to suit a new format, but that's another complication with little value.
Finally, don't forget that some Talos tests use Robocop and those have different logging requirement. :jmaher is your best source of knowledge here.
Good luck!
The log format is somewhat tied to

:mcomella makes good points, but on the other hand, there are drawbacks to having more/smaller tests. Each test has significant overhead to set up a fresh profile, launch the browser, wait for activity completion, collect logs, etc. Also, you end up exercising the same startup and page load and wait-for-gecko-ready code over and over again.

A common theme in intermittent robocop failures has been code that looks just like this:
1. execute an action: click, drag, or send keys
2. assert: check that a certain state exists
There's always a need to wait for an event or wait for a change in view state between the action and the assertion:
1. execute: click, drag, or send keys
2. wait: wait for something to happen, with a timeout
- on timeout, fail the test
3. assert: check that a certain state exists
A poor wait, or even a null wait, will produce a passing test in a surprising number of circumstances...most of the time!
I don't think that we should hide away the important "wait" step in the name of tidy code or ease of writing new tests. It is essential and it should be explicit in every UI test we write.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
Looks good! I think one thing to watch out for is making sure that the testing API handles waiting properly, so we don't have callers having to call things like "waitForText" to verify that an action has been successfully completed. We should take advantage of the new Condition interface and waitForCondition added in Robotium 4.2 - callers can always pass in always-true conditions if they don't need to wait.

Since we return immediately here and don't wait here for anything to load/happen, you might want to add a comment to that effect. Or possibly accept an argument (probably a Condition) to wait on before returning.

Hopefully taken care of in a "setUp()" method or equivalent.

From my perception of how long it takes some devices to start Gecko, this seems reasonable.
If we do go this route, we should still try to exercise "smaller test cases" in code even if we don't actually create new JUnit tests (and thus start with a clean profile). For example...
public class TestAboutHome {
public void testAboutHome() throws Exception {
testAboutHomeSwipe(); // not a JUnit test
testAboutHomePagesClick(); // not a JUnit test
...
}
...
}
To mitigate these helper functions test dependencies, we can also reset the state to something agreed upon for each test class, i.e.
testAboutHomeSwipe();
resetAfterTestAboutHomeSwipe();
testAboutHomePagesClick();
resetAfterTestAboutHomePagesClick();

Bootstrap new UI testing API
Review of attachment 798840 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This seems really scalable and may work great. My issues with this would be:
* As Geoff pointed out there aren't a lot of waits between assertions and I think this will not be very reliable. The original Robocop classes, to me, seemed to mimic Selenium behavior: click on something, wait for a result, check the result.
* The FEST assertions seem easy enough to use but the I'm not sure what work needs to be done to make these work with the current setup for running tests. The FennecNativeAsserter logging was important because in a lot of situations you could, just from looking at what step failed, to debug and understand what went wrong.
* I have seen comments pro and against rewriting this with and without the current Robocop tests active. Personally, unless this is done in a separate branch, I would not remove all tests and start again from scratch with writing the tests. There are still a lot of tests disabled but at least we have some running. People creating can create tests in the old Robocop framework for now and we could just rewrite them later if they don't know about the new structure
* Regarding the size of the tests. Usually we would make 1 test per feature trying to cover as many testcases from a MozTrap BFT suite as possible. This has in the past created problems with tests running to long but we should not fragment the tests a lot and end up with a lot of small tests in my opinion.
* Timing a run locally on a tablet via adb I see consistently between 18 and 19 seconds from test start to Gecko:Ready plus an additional 10-15 seconds for the app to finish background activities after Gecko:Ready unblock. I assume this time will increase a bit over LAN in the labs.
I have talked to :gbrown about this previously, and maybe with the Front-end dev team helping we could improve on this, but after unblocking for Gecko:Ready and returning from the blockForGeckoReady method, because of other background activities, the debug builds are really sluggish. Although the Settings menu item is enabled with the handling of Gecko:Ready on debug builds this is not instant, it happens much later and coincides with the app returning to normal operation with no more sluggishness. Because of this sluggishness usually the first page load in a test is not very reliable.

Instead of the different swipes can't we get something similar to the openAboutHomeTab method from the current AboutHomeTest? It seems better to me just to have a way of opening a specific about:home tab directly without having to always make sure you are in the right place when swiping left/right

-----------------------------------------------------------------
This looks nice! I agree with everything everyone else has had to say so far, and added a few more comments.
As a general comment, I think we should include some links to FEST documentation either in our code or testing wiki page (or both!) because it can be hard to follow how external APIs are used (e.g. what's the proper way to extend AbstractAssert?).
I think it would also be nice for someone (not necessarily you) to make a diagram of how our testing architecture works, including the relationship with the code in build/robocop. I'm still not entirely clear about the relationships, and I think that would be a good step towards making it easier for people to feel comfortable writing tests.

I agree with kats here. In addition to the fact that we may incorrectly return true here when the condition we're testing isn't met, it looks like in that case, the test will just fail, rather than actually waiting until the condition we're trying to test is true. We should figure out a good way to implement this pattern, since it's used often.

Ah, this answers my concern from up above. It's not intuitive that test() can either return false or throw an assertion error to indicate that we should keep waiting. Is there a way for us to just do one or the other? Maybe just always throw an AssertionError?

Comment 18•11 years ago
|

I made the changes that Lucas and I discussed in [1], most notably removing
FEST and swapping its Assertion API with something more like JUnit, to
match the unit test suite we are planning to add to m-c (bug 903528). I
wasn't sure to do with the mAsserter names here, however - please comment
on that if you have an idea.
One major change I would still like to do is move *Component to a components/
package and *Helper to a helpers/ package. nalexander says this can be
done after the robocop preprocessing is removed (bug 905703). I also need
to improve the reliability of some methods, mostly by adding additional
wait calls. Additionally, being able to import R and other classes from the
main code base can be useful at times.
I left in a some TODOs about things I'm unsure of or things that I still
have todo. Some of the more notable things I'm unsure of are:
1) Should *Helper be made into instance vars? There's a benefit to adding a
BaseHelper class that has an init() method, so we can freely assertInitialized
in each of the methods in the Helpers with rewriting that code. Also,
each Helper can share common instance variables (e.g. mSolo, mActions).
2) Some Components/Helpers take in UITest, rather than UITestContext. This
seems wrong, and I'm not sure what to do about it without making
UITestContext pretty beefy. Most notably, getting references to the Components
(e.g. TOOLBAR) is difficult.
Some larger, more abstract topics discussed in this bug that I'd like to
address at some point are:
1) Few large tests vs. many small tests
2) Take some action, wait, and assert style of coding - comment 11 (I think
the waiting can be masked by the framework, but we have to be diligent about
ensuring all framework code is written like this)
3) Documentation for extending the framework and for writing tests (I've
taken some notes on what I've learned and what I'd want to write about)
I'll continue to work on the TODOs that are not design-oriented (such as
improving test reliability) while awaiting feedback.
I've been making my changes diffing off Lucas' initial patch [2] in a github
repo [3], if micro-commits are easier to read/review - be warned that they're a
bit haphazard.

I made them static so that they are accessible from anywhere in the test/components/helpers. If you make them instance variables, you might end up needing to add more API to the UITestContext interface. Not a big deal though.

We should probably add custom messages to these assertions. With that in mind, maybe it's the case to have things like assertTitle() in TOOLBAR instead? This way you can write the message only once and reuse it everywhere. It will also look a bit more concise:
From:
assertTrue(TOOLBAR.hasTitle(NavigationHelper.ABOUT_HOME_TITLE))

> This whole class doesn't seem to bring anything more then the existing
> Robocop Asserter.
I agree, but I was going for consistency between the eventual JUnit test suite that will be added (bug 903528). The Robocop Asserter is hard to use at times because its interface is hidden away in a separate file tree (build/mobile/robocop/ vs. mobile/android/base/tests/; this is more relevant to new developers though) and it's not clear how to use it correctly (e.g. bug 928566). Having the API consistent with JUnit will help alleviate these concerns.
As lucas mentioned in comment 22, I'm leaning towards these assertions taking a name, like the Robocop Asserter, to be more descriptive in the logs.
> There is a getView(String id) method in robotium that may be used here
getView does not allow you to specify a root View so this method is still relevant. In the javadoc, I recommend using Solo.getView if you do not have a particular root view. If we can import R (and thus ids) directly, we can remove ViewHelper.findViewById in favor of using `View.findViewById(int id)` directly.

Ideally, we replace the ID Strings with R.id. Otherwise, I like the ids at private access levels within the components they should be used for, considering no other test class should be accessing those ids (and perhaps even the views they represent) directly (though I stand open to corrections).
If we did take the put-everything-into-a-helper-class approach, I'd opt for an "IdHelper" class for to keep the line count down for usability.

It's an argument to mAsserter.ok (https://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/build/mobile/robocop/Assert.java.in#15). It seems largely redundant with "name" though so I don't know the purpose.

Right. Should I extend UITestContext to include `get*Component()`?

Yes, for both pressing back and lowering the soft keyboard. However, they did not seem to work quite like I expected (e.g. I don't think lower soft keyboard waits until after the keyboard is lowered) so I haven't inserted them yet (hence the TODOs).

According to nalexander, we should be able to use import R directly once the preprocessing is removed (bug 905703), but if that bug gets held up, maybe we can grab it from Robotium.

We decided against single line component assertions, but that was without the context of repeating a message, so now I'm for it.
I'm still concerned about having a lot of duplication though (e.g. getTitle(), hasTitle(), assertTitle() for each element, though we can probably drop the hasTitle() version).

I'd go with a more generic API: getComponent(Component c).
With Component being an Enum.

Yeah, it seems Robotium's hideSoftKeyboard() waits a bit *before* hiding the keyboard, not after. See:

I'd start with having the assert* methods (e.g. assertTitle, assertVisible, ...) public. At first sight, I don't expect UITest subclasses to need things like getTitle(). Right?

(quote refers to making Helpers static) I opted to keep them static because they reference each other, meaning there would need to be some awkward dependency management (e.g. construct the helpers, then pass those references into all of those helpers - possible, particularly with a superclass, but messy).
I did create a BaseHelper with static references to the UITestContext elements though.
> Yeah, it seems Robotium's hideSoftKeyboard() waits a bit *before* hiding the

It seems the issue is that Solo.hideSoftKeyboard does not actually clear focus, meaning pressing back again (such as to dismiss editing mode) will cause focus to be removed, rather than causing the UI to go back a page. My workaround is to press back twice instead of using the soft keyboard specific method.

Comment 28•11 years ago

I updated the tests for the review comments by either fixing the issues
directly, or adding TODOs for things that can be done later (including after
this initial patch lands - e.g. assertIsPixel). If something is missing that
you commented on, it's likely forgotten - feel free to mention it again.
For an incremental view of the changes between the previous revision and the
current one, see [1].
In addition to handling the comments, the major other changes I made are:
* Made testNewTabHistory reliable by implementing
WaitHelper.StateChangeVerifier
* Added a BaseHelper class that all Helpers extend to allow access to various
instances (e.g. Solo, *Component) without getters.
* Used Robotium's back button method.
* Used Robotium's text input methods.
The one major issue to hit before this lands is to implement goForward (as
testNewTabHistory currently fails on it).
Other major things that should happen at some point:
* Packages
* Remove preprocessing and use R directly for IDs
I will continue to investigate the TODOs while awaiting feedback.

The 'Asserting...' in all assertion messages seems a bit redundant. I'd prefer to simply write 'URL is not null' here. Same applies to all other assertion messages. You can force the 'Asserting' prefix under the hood in AssertionHelper if you feel strongly about having this in the logs.

Not sure I follow. What's the value in checking the title simply 'changed'? What we usually care about is that the title changed to a specific state, no? What about the cases where the title is not expected to change?

It does: it's used directly in WaitHelper.ToolbarTitleTextChangeVerifier.

The page load event, which we wait for in waitForPageLoad, is the same event that the browser waits for to change the title (and we later assert). Since this change happens asynchronously, we can't guarantee the title will have changed by the time we make our assertion. Thus, we either wait until the title changed (i.e. it's received and acted upon the page load event), in which case we can continue on to our assertion or there's a timeout. If there's a timeout, the title may never change (e.g. the same page has been loaded) and we're fine, or the title will eventually change, which means the assertion will regrettably fail, but I'm not sure how to better handle this. I think we can assume that for performance reasons, all the user facing post-page load events should take less than the default wait time (currently 2 seconds), but this isn't very reliable (e.g. when a machine is under heavy load).
If this logic makes sense and we keep the code, I tried explain this behavior in waitForPageLoad so perhaps I need to better clarify the comments.

Updated for review comments.
Major changes since the previous revision:
* Removed pre-processing
* Created components/ and helpers/ packages
For a micro-commit diff, see [1].
Still TODO before this lands:
* Test and fix changes for tablets
* Fix potential race condition TODO
* Either comment out the unimplemented sections of testNewTabHistory or
implement them (I vote the former so we have more hands working on this).
Concerns:
* I have had testAboutHomeVisibility fail very infrequently on go to blank
01's assertTitle line (may have been an old build though)
* If you don't import AssertionHelper.*, JUnit assertions take over instead
without an error. Perhaps we should namespace our assertion methods (e.g.
rcAssertTrue)?
* lucas' concerns on the StateChangeVerifier

I am coming with little context, but I find the whole "Component" abstraction strange. Fennec has components, but the Robocop tests shouldn't. We're driving Fennec's components, right? Calling this thing a component seems wrong. It's a helper layer on top of whatever Fennec has.

So, this BaseHelper class is really "test state". I have a strong preference for composition over inheritance; I'd much rather add a final state variable to all the helpers than have them all inherit from this class.

Namespacing would be unfortunately because the assert* calls wouldn't be as concise. If the signatures are exactly the same, maybe simply override the methods and redirect the calls to AssertionHelper.*? That's a bit prone to confusion though.

The comment seems a bit clearer. We might want to add a StateChangeVerifier for the throbber visibility too.

The intent was to improve the visibility of these variables, but you're right that it's confusing and breaks convention. And yes, they should also be private so they're not assigned by a malicious helper! I'll change the naming convention and add getters.

Consistency with our eventual junit test suite (though as per comment 34, causes its own issues). Do you think it's not worthwhile? Side note that we should probably fix bug 928566 if we don't keep AssertionHelper.

Override the methods directly in UITest, you mean?

(Referencing component vars in UITest)
> Uh, what? Why is this not scoped (private?)
In testing, I found private access level is not ideal. If we set the vars private...
1) The tests have to be littered with "getAboutHomeComponent()" (or worse, currently (Cast) getComponent(ComponentType.TYPE))
2) Every test has to set a local variable for each component
3) Move just the tests to a new package, subclass UITest in that package with a class that creates a protected variable for each component, and then have each test extend that subclass.
What do you think? 3 doesn't seem too bad and we might want to put the UITests into a separate package anyway so it's obvious they're not the same.

Wouldn't it be simpler to just have a protected variable in UITest itself?

I was thinking the different components and helpers would be able to change this reference, but I just realized that since we pass the UITestContext interface into their constructors and init methods (rather than UITest directly), that access is not possible.
Sure, I'm fine setting it protected then.

No need to add getters if they're static or final, and always prefer protected to private. (We're not worried about malicious anything.) By scoping I mean explicitly declaring the scope -- I can't recall if Java's default is private or public.

I'm 50/50 on this. The reason behind the is() stuff is that's the Mochitest precedent, and this stuff grew out of Mochitest. I'd say kill this code and just use the existing Assert implementations; if we then fix bug 928566, we'll have less layers to update.

Comment 45•11 years ago

Major changes in this revision:
* Tested on tablets
* Commented out test functionality that is not yet implemented
* Import R and other fennec code directly
* Remove reflection (where applicable)
This is revision will get a wide feedback request. For those just tuning in,
small things that still need to be completed or fixed are marked as TODOs, and
larger issues are filed as dependent file-up bugs.
If you are providing feedback, two major points of discussion that I'd like
additional input on are:
1) Renaming *Component to be less ambiguous. nalexander, in comment 35 and
via IRC, has mentioned that since Fennec does not have "Components", this is
confusing (I partially agree). He suggested a better name might be *Helper, but
this conflicts with our static helpers (currently in the helpers/ package).
*Driver was also proposed, but that conflicts with the FennecNativeDriver (and
I feel the "Driver" term is ambiguous anyway). Thus *ComponentHelper and
*ComponentDriver were also proposed but these still use "Component" and don't
add much over using it in isolation.
2) Removing AssertionHelper in favor of using mAsserter directly.
AssertionHelper currently wraps the mAsserter to create a JUnit-like API (to
allow consistency with our eventual JUnit test suite) and allows us to access
the assertions statically. However, it doesn't add much else over using
mAsserter directly, requires an additional maintenance cost, and can cause some
confusion if not imported as the actual JUnit methods, which have the same
method signatures, are used instead (see comment 34).
Provided the two issues above are resolved and there is no major pushback after
feedback, this is ready to land. I'll be waiting at least a week for feedback
before requesting the final review (again, provided no major pushback).
Drive-bys welcome!

So this is looking really good, and bikeshedding is inevitable, but... why are the Helper classes static? It seems like you could follow the existing model (with Assert and Driver, etc) and just have a DeviceHelper instance owned by, say, UITest or UITestContext. But I'm not going to block on this. If it passes try, r=nalexander if you want it and lucasr agrees.

Bootstrap new API for UI testing in Fennec.
Review of attachment 833095 [details] [diff] [review]:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
This framework allows you to write clean, simple looking tests:
NavigationHelper.enterAndLoadUrl(StringHelper.ROBOCOP_BLANK_PAGE_02_URL);
mToolbar.assertTitle(StringHelper.ROBOCOP_BLANK_PAGE_02_TITLE);
mAboutHome.assertNotVisible();
I love that...and I am troubled by it.
The biggest problem with the existing robocop tests is that we forget to wait, or we wait ineffectively, between action and result. It is natural to think this way: I click here, I expect this to happen. But really, you click here, time passes, and then a new UI state is achieved. Forget to wait, or wait ineffectively, and yet another intermittent failure is born.
The "wait" is built into enterAndLoadUrl and I assume it is effective. But writing tests this way reinforces that natural tendency to forget about the middle step. As I said in Comment 11, I would prefer to see explicit waits, perhaps:
NavigationHelper.enterAndLoadUrl(StringHelper.ROBOCOP_BLANK_PAGE_02_URL);
NavigationHelper.waitForPageToLoad();
mToolbar.assertTitle(StringHelper.ROBOCOP_BLANK_PAGE_02_TITLE);
mAboutHome.assertNotVisible();
That's more code. And there's a risk that the waitForPageToLoad call will be accidentally dropped in some future use. But it reminds us of what is really happening and the way we need to be thinking when we write UI tests.
Are there try runs for these new tests?

BaseTest.waitForCondition does not assert on timeout. Callers of BaseTest.waitForCondition frequently assert on the waitForCondition return code, but not always. Is this asserting a best practice, or will it prove overly restrictive, I wonder?

This test seems similar to testAwesomebarSwipes. Could we remove testAwesomebarSwipes? Each test takes time to execute, and I hate to see the same functionality tested twice. testAwesomebarSwipes is currently disabled, but even so, we should delete it so that no one wastes their time debugging and re-enabling a test that would just be redundant.

To avoid confusion with the BaseTest testAwesomebarSwipes, I'll leave it as testNewAboutHomeSwipes for now, and add the following TODO:

I like the idea of making a rule to just include all strings in here. It would be consistent, and it would also reduce the chance of accidentally declaring the same string in 2 different tests.

Right now it doesn't seem like there's much overhead to initializing all these things, but in the future should we consider some sort of lazy initialization? Especially since a lot of tests will extend UITest, but they're not all going to use all of these components/helpers.

I don't love this dependency on the Page enum. I may be biased because my WIP in bug 862805 adds a type to the Page enum which isn't necessarily always present, but perhaps it would be better to be explicit about the order of pages we expect in phone vs. tablet by creating some new data structure in this test.

Maybe it breaks our black-box testing model, but I wonder if we should just send the appropriate "Session:Reload"/etc messages to gecko, rather than try clicking on buttons/menu items.

It allows the classes to be more easily accessed from everywhere with less verbose code (e.g. no getters, no additional variables, etc.). Since we're not running these tests in parallel (and not likely to do so soon because they're UI-based), there does not appear to be any negatives associated with this approach (besides maybe initialization, which is already noted with a comment). Would you agree?

The thing is that every Robocop test case has to inherit from IForgetTheRealNameInstrumentationTestCase2 or similar. So there's this strong inheritance requirement, which means that all this stuff can be kept in scope easily. Roll on, but I bet we end up making at least one of these helpers configurable.

With this rewrite, I intend for the framework to take care of the necessary waiting so it is centralized. If an intermittent occurs, there's one place to fix it.
Yes, it's harder to remember to insert these waits if they're written less frequently or don't follow a convention (like you mentioned), but at the same time, if you're updating framework code, you're probably going to be a little more careful. Since I know that's an issue, I'm planning on accompanying this framework with wiki documentation with a big note that will say, "Don't forget to wait!".

I would argue that's fine - developers writing tests shouldn't need to worry about this. Developers writing the framework do, but the test writers shouldn't have to suffer so the framework developers can better remember to wait.
I think there's a possibility for greater error where developers writing tests also need to be concerned with *what* to wait for (e.g. "Is it *really* only page load I should be waiting for here? Do I need to wait for the toolbar to hide independently?").
> Are there try runs for these new tests?
Good call! With some of the most recent review changes:
https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=0941975ec24d
> Are there changes here that improve reliability?
A lot of the functionality that was often copy and pasted between tests previously is encapsulated in the framework which will (hopefully) improve reliability. For example, see testAwesomebarSwipes vs testNewAboutHomeSwipes (testAwesomescreenPages in the next patch revision).
> This seems like basic functionality that should be available in the initial

To be fair, we could say that for a lot of the functionality that the framework could provide in the future - I think it's more important to land what we have so I'm not the only one working on it.

I didn't fully consider that before. I moved the assertions over to WaitHelper to avoid copious amounts of "assertTrue(nearlyIdenticalMessage, ...)". However, since the functionality is easily accessible directly with sSolo.waitForCondition, I don't think this is a big issue. Perhaps I should make `WaitHelper.DEFAULT_MAX_WAIT_MS` public though?

This is true for `... extends UITest` but what about when helpers need to access each other? Since you cannot do this reference passing at construction time (since they rely on other, not-yet constructed helpers), the code would need quite a few sContext.get*; the static approach seemed cleaner (if we can get away with it ;).

It seems we've interpreted the use of the Page enum differently - I have been using it as an explicit representation of the order of the pages in the awesomescreen whereas I think you're using it as page type. I agree with your usage - perhaps it should be renamed `PageType` in bug 862805 (or a followup to this)?
In this case, I suppose it's okay to make an explicit recreation of the Page enum for each configuration (imo, it would otherwise be bad to duplicate such info). I'll change it.

What benefit do you see with using the Gecko messages? I think it's generally better to press buttons - we're both testing that the UI works as expected and that the underlying functionality displays the result correctly.

You woudln't have to worry about actually getting the views to click, which can be different in phones/tablets. It seems like it's a non-trivial amount of effort, since you left some of these unimplemented ;)

I think anything that could potentially be used among multiple files (e.g. urls, page titles, button labels, etc.) should be put here, but anything else should be put into their most appropriate file - it's more or less a judgement call.
For example, `LAUNCHER_ACTIVITY = TestConstants.ANDROID_PACKAGE_NAME + ".App" won't be used anywhere besides UITest (and maybe the subclasses) so it's most appropriately defined in UITest.
I dislike the idea of putting all strings in StringHelper because, while it's easy to use when the file is small, it becomes difficult when the size grows. It's better to keep the Strings sectioned on where they're used (which is roughly the same reason all of the code isn't contained in one file).

To clarify, I thought StringHelper was about strings that are exposed in the UI, so I think it's fine to exclude things like the app name.

The boolean argument is kinda hard to read. And the 'getTitleHelper' method name is a bit vague. I'd go with getTitleText() that just does:
getTitleText() {
return getUrlTitleText().getText();
}
And then:
getTitle() {
assertIsNotEditing();
return getTitleText();
}
getPotentiallyInconsistentTitle() {
return getTitleText();
}
Or something along these lines.

bnicholson added this for testSearchSuggestions, in bug 586885.
I believe the difference is the difference between "host" and "rawhost" here: https://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/597287004ff5/testing/mochitest/runtestsremote.py#l503, which should be using the IP address in the rawhost vs the proxy name "mochi.test" in host.

try from comment 56 has a bug where the title is updated to the url (e.g. "http://...") before it gets the page title from the server, fooling the ToolbarTitleTextChangeVerifier into thinking the page title changed. I added a check to prevent return true on hasStateChanged for urls with protocol prefixes. Here is my new push:

Maybe this needs more discussion, possibly in a separate bug. There are people that like this class and there are people that consider this class not to be ok because strings without logical links are all grouped here. I think everyone should be on the same page with this class if it needs to be here or not and if not how things like common strings between tests should be addressed in order to have consistency over tests, allow access to this strings from everywhere and make it easy to change something if a string is changed

Since more test pages have been added people usually named them Robocop <what the page is for or a page description> (for e.g Robocop Big Link, Robocop Mailto) these 3 bank pages remain named "Browser Blank 0x". Could this as a convention be renamed to "Robocop Blank 0x"? I think it would be nice to have a naming convention for the page titles.

Review revision.
Made changes for feedback comments, removed some unneeded TODOs, fixed a bug
(hackishly) in the WaitHelper.ToolbarTextChangeVerifier class, removed
testAwesomebarSwipes and testTabHistory, and renamed the tests
(testAboutHomeVisibility, testAwesomescreenPages, and testTabHistory).
For incremental changes, please see [1].

It returns null because we have overwritten the getActivity() method to simply return mActivity, which is null at this point. The getActivity() from the parent class calls launchActivityWithIntent() under the hood.

Ok, it seems the 'final' in the arguments is very intentional :-) It's ok to keep it. My concern with this is that we're not used to do it anywhere else in our code and it won't matter 99% of the time. So, be prepared for a lot inconsistencies in this regard.

It can't be set in the constructor (since super(...) needs it) so it needs to be defined for its first assignment. However, it needs to be preprocessed (and then some) so we can't do that - it was tried in bug 916507. bug 938820 is the followup bug to eventually fix this here and in BaseTest.

Removed the overridden method (oops!).

For ease of use, I import "AssertionHelper.*". So any class that uses AssertionHelper, including the tests, imports it. I filed bug 943703 to fix this.

I didn't add some of these empty lines for two line methods because it keeps the code less double-spaced.

Missed it the first time - thanks for checking! I dislike those particular names you suggested because it's hard to tell the difference without looking at the code - e.g. what's the difference between getTitle and getTitleText? *Helper isn't very helpful because it's so generic, however, when you look at a method and see it call out directly to the private *Helper, you can assume it does the functionality that this particular method is supposed to do and this happens for both getTitle methods.

That's fine - some finals are better than none! :)

No, but doing it this way means we only have to change it in one spot if we assign it to another value (rather than 2).

Intermittent in try from comment 82 - I'm holding landing until I can figure this out.
It occurred on 2.2 armv6 so it's possible our timeout is too short (though the hasTimedOut message is not in the output, so perhaps not.
Here's a try push with a longer timeout (2000->5000): https://tbpl.mozilla.org/?tree=Try&rev=7c9f65e32fa0

Comment 93•11 years ago

I fixed the intermittent from bug 938969 (which I will explain in a comment
there). I am going to file a follow up to aggregate the page load time so
waiting for both events is encompassed by PAGE_LOAD_WAIT_MS.
There is one more patch I will upload as a workaround to bug 945521.

Final patch, workaround for bug 945521 which would cause the tests to fail on
some devices.

I do wonder if we should simply sendKey(ENTER) in all cases? Up to you.

I assume we always get a DOMTitleChanged event, even on pages without a <title> tag?

I would say no - the enter button is less likely to break (and would be more noticeable by user testing) whereas clicking the go button finds bugs like 945521.

Luckily I kept my changes in a git repo so these are all the files that were touched with "import org.mozilla.gecko" in them, as per the command to get this output.
