codeigniter-simpletest's Issues

The action you have requested is not allowed.

Not sure whether I'm doing this right, but when I go to /unit_test.php and run any test, it throws this error

"The action you have requested is not allowed."

I'm running CI 2.0.2

Isolated view test

Is there a decent way to test views in isolation (ie without invoking controllers/models, just setting up some variables) using simple_test?

Refactor so all tests and all directories can be outside of docroot

The test_gui.php hard-codes paths: tsk tsk tsk.

Although it's not otherwise kosher, this would be far more useful if you put the CSS directly inline in that file or at least did a file_get_contents() to retrieve the contents of the CSS.

View test example

Well done!
I was really looking for something like this package!

A was wondering how do you handle the view test.
Using simpletest I solve the issue with a combination of:

$this->get('http://localhost/....../mypage.php');

$this->click('My link to click');

$this->assertText('Text to check');

Is that a correct approach?
What's the correct way using your package?

Improve documentation

This library would be a lot more useful if some real-world documentation were included -- this should include basic installation scenarios (e.g. is it even possible to put the test files in a directory outside of document root? All my CodeIgniter files save for index.php are not in the docroot, but I see nothing in the comments or README that let me know if this was written in a way that respects that common scenario).

Here are a few examples:

• from unit_test.php, What is this?:
  define('MAIN_PATH', realpath(dirname(FILE)).'/');
• Please put a link back to http://www.simpletest.org/ prominently in your docs -- it's not clear from the de
• From the README, this is useless: "All test files need to be named test_name_folder.php." -- you give example of the filename, but no explanation of where they're supposed to go. What directory?
• Please explain your directory structure. I'm used to putting all my tests into one folder. Why would I put some into a folder named "bugs" and others in a folder named "libraries" etc.
• Update your unit_test.php file so it's clear what areas should NOT be edited. Usually there's a note like "DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE."
• Add at least one wiki page please: something that describes the project -- it's not even clear that this is an implementation of http://www.simpletest.org/ (include a link please)

With mediocre documentation, a project can never be more than mediocre.

true test but full of exceptions

Here is my simple controller test. It works perfectly, but it throws lots of exceptions.

class test_user_controller extends CodeIgniterWebTestCase
{
function __construct()
{
parent::__construct();
$this->WebTestCase('User Controller');
}

function testHomePage() {
$this->get('http://localhost/hekmat/');
$this->assertText('Main Page');
}
}

exceptions:

Suggest: Selenium

Add support for Selenium; PHPUnit has it yet i think its over-complicate with PHPUnit....
