    Seam Test problem (jsf required attribute)

      hi!


      I have problems using Seam framework for integration tests. My current problem is, that i want to test the jsf required attribute. here is my test case:



      @Test
public void testCreateOrganisation() throws Exception {
     String id = login(ADMIN_LOGIN);

     id = new FacesRequest(ORG_VIEW, id) {

          @Override
          protected void invokeApplication() throws Exception {
               assertEquals(
                         invokeAction("#{organisations.createOrganisation}"),
                         JSFNavigationConstants.ORGANISATION_CREATE);
          }

     }.run();

     new FacesRequest(ORG_CREATE_VIEW, id) {
          
          @Override
          protected void processValidations() throws Exception {
               validateValue("#{selectedOrganisation.name}", "");
               assertTrue(isValidationFailure());
          }

          @Override
          protected void renderResponse() throws Exception {
               FacesContext fc = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
               assertEquals(fc.getMaximumSeverity(),
                         FacesMessage.SEVERITY_ERROR);

               boolean contains = false;
               Iterator<FacesMessage> fms = fc.getMessages();
               while (fms.hasNext()) {
                    FacesMessage fm = fms.next();
                    if (fm.getDetail().equals("Feld muss ausgefüllt werden")) {
                         contains = true;
                    }
               }
               assertTrue(contains);
               assertTrue(Manager.instance().isLongRunningConversation());
          }

     }.run();
}



      At the beginning there is some login procedure which works fine. Next I want to make a FacesRequest to the organisation view, which is like a crud interface. In invokeApplication method i want to navigate to the create interface of organisation. Till now all is fine.


      Next I want to test, if the jsf required attribute is set. Therefore i validate the empty string for the organisation name. Now i expect isValidationFailure() to return true since the required attribute is indeed set. But it returns false. That's the point, where i don't know why and what to try next. It's nearly the same test like in the booking example:



        new FacesRequest("/book.xhtml", id) {

      @Override
      protected void processValidations() throws Exception
      {
          validateValue("#{booking.creditCardName}", "");
          assert isValidationFailure();
      }

      @Override
      protected void renderResponse()
      {
          Iterator messages = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance().getMessages();
          assert messages.hasNext();
          assert ( (FacesMessage) messages.next() ).getSummary().equals("Credit card name is required");
          assert !messages.hasNext();
          assert Manager.instance().isLongRunningConversation();
      }
      
      @Override
      protected void afterRequest()
      {
          assert !isInvokeApplicationBegun();
      }
      
  }.run();



      I didn't try it, but i believe it works ;) so the big question is, why there occurs a validtion failure in the booking example, but not in my test?


      Thanks!
