a4j:actionparam never set on backbean with client.click

[jadtn]

Hello,
I don't know how, when i click on a panelbaritem, the actionparam is never set on the backbean, with manual test all works, but my jsfunit test is certainly bad, here the xhml and jsfunit code

Here a part of my page

<rich:panelBar id="mg" immediate="true" height="300">

 <rich:panelBarItem label="Code postal" id="pcp" >
 <a4j:support event="onenter" ajaxSingle="true" immediate="true" >
 <a4j:actionparam name="geotype" value="scp" assignTo="#{ctrlFullSearch.form.geoSearchType}"/>
 </a4j:support>
 </rich:panelBarItem>

<rich:panelBarItem label="Departements" id="pdpt">
 <a4j:support event="onenter" ajaxSingle="true" immediate="true" >
 <a4j:actionparam name="geotype" value="sdpt" assignTo="#{ctrlFullSearch.form.geoSearchType}"/>
 </a4j:support>

 </rich:panelBarItem>
</rich:panelBar >

Here what i do in my test:

client.click("subviewa:formtest:pdpt");
client.click("subviewa:formtest:button");
//I have set a big log in backbean and geoSearchType never appear

Anybody has an idea?
Thanks
Adrien

Are you sure that the click is actually occuring, and are you clicking on the correct thing?

Many components render multiple html elements and you need to be clicking on the correct html element.

Your event for a4j:support is "onenter". The JSFUnit click will only trigger events associated with a mouse click. So I don't think your "onenter" will be triggered. Frankly, I don't know exactly how RichFaces renders the HTML in that case.

Like Kragoth said, you will need to see how the HTML is actually rendered. I've found that the FireFox Firebug plugin is very helpful for situations like this.

Hi
fire bug is magic ;-)
This is that on enter isn't triggered.
Thanks

[ssilvert]

Yeah, I don't think I could have delivered JSFUnit without FireBug. It saves me hours of debugging.

So I take it that your problem is now solved? Can you post the solution? I don't think I have any unit tests that use "onenter".

Thanks,

Stan

Actually i ve not found good solution.
I've trying with htmlunit :

HtmlPage htmlPage = (HtmlPage)client.getContentPage();
 ClickableElement clickable = (ClickableElement)htmlPage.getElementById(getPanelID(p));
 try {
 clickable.click();

but an exception occurs :

TypeError: Cannot read property "action" from null (http://localhost:8080/a4j/g/3_3_0.GAorg.ajax4jsf.javascript.AjaxScript.jsf#187)

And to change manually my bakcbean :

FacesContext facesContext = FacesContext.getCurrentInstance();
 return facesContext.getApplication().getVariableResolver().resolveVariable(facesContext, backBeanId);

In this case the backbean is updated.
But an exception occurs because my panel is not opened.

I know the thread is >1year old. Did you find any solution? I have the same problem now.
