Testing attributes of controls on vbhtml page

[mbewers980]

Hi,

I have a web page called Benefits.vbhtml written in vbhtml, which contains groups of checkbox controls and am trying to write some tests for it.

I have a test method written in a separate Javascript file, which I have tried to call the test method from Benefits page when I click a submit button and write some statements to the Visual Studio console to show proof of testing, but nothing happens.

If you have experience in writing such tests, can you provide a link which shows me how to do get started and go about this the right way as I am lost.

Thanks
Matt

i'm not quite sure if i get it right - and i'm a bit more unsure if it's possible to write to the VS-console from javascript - but you can write to the firebug- or chrome-console with the console.log() method directly. if u need the javascript-errors/output serverside to trace it somewhere then you can catch it - make an ajax-call and send it back from the client to the server where a service can do with it whatever you want.

Thanks for your reply gits. A colleague came up with another solution, which I reckon is a bit simpler. Which is

1. Write your javascript code in your javascript test class.
2. Use a click button as the input to run the test in the main page, call the method you want in javascript test class, when you click it.
3. Add a reference to the class in the webpage like so:

<script src="../../Scripts/Benefits3-WithJQuery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

and position this at the start of the javascript code in your vbhtml file.

Regards
Matt

if the question was just to execute the test - then its the way to include the test in the page - of course. i thought the issue was to display something in a console-window.

so i'm glad you got it sorted.
