Integration Testing Page Scoped Components

[cretz]

I have and issue where I have two PAGE scope components. Component A injects component B via @In(create=true). Component B uses a @RequestParameter for one of its actions. I only know that value after an initial render.

Basically, I need to keep a PAGE context active across multiple FacesRequest tests (in a single test case). I set the same viewId and conversationId in the constructor, but the PAGE context is not persisted across FacesRequests.

I really need this for multiple actions that depend on each other within a single page.

Is this not supported or am I doing something wrong? Thanks in advance.

I found a ghetto solution:

Say you have a classes like so:

@Name("componentA")
@Scope(PAGE)
public class ComponentA {
    @Create
    public void create() {
        //do something
    }
}

@Name("componentB")
@Scope(PAGE)
public class ComponentB {
    @In
    ComponentA componentA;
}

...just mock 'em w/ conversations like so:

@Name("componentA")
@Scope(CONVERSATION)
@Install(precedence = MOCK)
public class ComponentAMock extends ComponentA {
    @Create
    @Begin
    public void create() {
        //do something
    }
}

@Name("componentB")
@Scope(CONVERSATION)
@Install(precedence = MOCK)
public class ComponentBMock extends ComponentB {

}

Granted, this doesn't solve the page context persistence problem (which I am assuming is caused by the fact that the page context is recognized via JSF post back only). But at least you can test multiple interdependent page scoped components.

I also run this at the end of invokeAction on the last FacesRequest I need in the page scope:

((Manager)getInstance(Manager.class)).endConversation(false);

Still, if anyone can tell me how to persist the page context across FacesRequests, I'd appreciate it...
