pages.xml and SeamTest

[kapitanpetko]

Hello,

I migrated my navigation rules from faces-config.xml to
pages.xml and now most of my SeamTests are failing. It seems
that conversations are not propagated from one FacesRequest to the other, because I keep getting NPE when trying to get component properties.

My setup is fairly simple, I have something like the following in pages.xml, and I am trying to persist and entity in my test. (set values in updateModelValues, save in invokeApplication, the usual)

<page view-id="/user-list.xhtml" login-required="true">
<restrict>#{s:hasRole('ADMINISTRATOR')}</restrict>

<navigation>
<rule if-outcome="edit">
<redirect view-id="/user-update.xhtml"/>
</rule>

<rule if-outcome="details">
<redirect view-id="/user-details.xhtml"/>
</rule>
</navigation>
</page>

<page view-id="/user-registration.xhtml" login-required="true" action="#{userManager.initRegistration}">
<restrict>#{s:hasRole('ADMINISTRATOR')}</restrict>
<navigation>
<rule if-outcome="confirm">
<redirect view-id="/user-details.xhtml"/>
</rule>
</navigation>
</page>

Is there something special I need to do or am I missing something obvious? I have tried different combinations of from-outcome, begin-conversation, etc. to no avail.

The same pages.xml works fine in JBoss.

I am using JBoss 4.2.2 and Seam 2.0.2.GA.

TIA

Here is some code that used to work with navigation in faces-config:

  @Test
    public void testRegister() throws Exception {
        new FacesRequest("/login.xhtml") {

            @Override
            protected void updateModelValues() throws Exception {
                assert !isSessionInvalid();
                setValue("#{identity.username}", "admin");
                setValue("#{identity.password}", "foobar");
            }

            @Override
            protected void invokeApplication() {
                invokeAction("#{identity.login}");
            }

            @Override
            protected void renderResponse() {
                assert !Manager.instance().isLongRunningConversation();
                assert getValue("#{identity.loggedIn}").equals(true);
                assertEquals("admin", getValue("#{identity.username}"));
                assert getValue("#{identity.hasRole('ADMINISTRATOR')}").equals(
                        true);
            }

        }.run();

        String cid = new FacesRequest("/user-list.xhtml") {
            @Override
            protected void invokeApplication() {
                assert invokeAction("#{userManager.register}").equals(
                        "register-system-user");
                setOutcome("/user-registration.seam");
            }

            @Override
            protected void renderResponse() {
                assert Manager.instance().isLongRunningConversation();
                assert getValue("#{identity.loggedIn}").equals(true);
                assertEquals("admin", getValue("#{identity.username}"));
                assert getValue("#{identity.hasRole('ADMINISTRATOR')}").equals(
                        true);
            }

        }.run();

        cid = new FacesRequest("/user-registration.xhtml", cid) {

            @Override
            protected void updateModelValues() throws Exception {
                assert !isSessionInvalid();
                assert Manager.instance().isLongRunningConversation();    // (1) 

                setValue("#{user.userName}", "user");                     // (2)
                setValue("#{user.password}", "foobaz");
                setValue("#{user.confirmPassword}", "foobaz");
            }

            @Override
            protected void invokeApplication() {
                invokeAction("#{userManager.confirmRegistration}");
                setOutcome("/user-details.seam");
            }

            @Override
            protected void renderResponse() {
                assert Manager.instance().isLongRunningConversation();

                assertEquals(getRenderedViewId(),
                        "/user-registration.xhtml");

                assertEquals(getValue("#{user.userName}"), "user");
                // ...
            }

        }.run();
    }

The assert (1) fails, and, naturally, if I comment it out, I get a 'user resolved to null' error at 2.

I don't have the code with me, but here's what works:

protected void invokeApplication() {
  ...

 setOutcome("user-registration.seam"); // no leading /
}

And apperently SeamTest doesn't like the

<page view-id="*"> <rule from-action="..."> 

combination... Unfortunately I don't have the time to dig deeper into this.
