Re: How to validate radio buttons using HttpUnit

Sandy,

I had the problem the otherway round in 2004 and that's why the
RadioButtonFormControl is now accessible. Please find my example code for
setting a radiobutton below. Along the same lines getting the control's
value should be possible.

Also the testcases in

HTMLFormTest might give you some hints

/**

a

of

a

radio

button

and

or

checkbox

attribute

@param

-

variable

name

*

@param

value

-

the

value

to

set

*

@throws

Throwable

if

setformvalue

fails

*/

public

void

setradioformvalue(String var, String value)

throws

Throwable {

try

{

tester().assertFormPresent(getForm());

//com.meterware.httpunit.WebForm form=tester().getDialog().getResponse().getFormWithName(FORM);

//form.setParameter( var+value, value );

Object buttonlist[]=tester().getDialog().getResponse().getElementsWithName(var);

if

(buttonlist.

length

==0)

throw

new

Exception(

"radio button with name "

+var+

" not found!"

);

boolean

found=

false

;

for

(

int

i=0;i<buttonlist.

length

;i++) {

Object o=buttonlist[i];

if

(o

instanceof

RadioButtonFormControl) {

RadioButtonFormControl button=(RadioButtonFormControl)o;

if

(button.getQueryValue().equals(value)) {

System.

out

.println(

"checking button "

+button.getID());

button.setChecked(

true

);

found=

true

;

}

}

else

if

(o

instanceof

FormControl) {

FormControl button=(FormControl)o;

button.setState(value.toLowerCase().equals(

"true"

));

found=

true

;

}

else

{

throw

new

Exception(

"element with id "

+var+

"has invalid type "

+o.getClass().getName()+

" expected was FormControl"

);

}

}

// for

if

(!found) {

throw

new

Exception(

"radio button with name "

+var+

" and value "

+value+

" not found!"

);

}

}

catch

(Throwable t) {

watcher().snapShotNow();

throw

(t);

}

}

// setradioformvalue
