Roo project not working until web integration tests are created

[tunaranch]

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding how the web tier is supposed to work, but I don't seem to get anything showing up in tomcat until I create a selenium test.

Like so:

Am I doing something wrong? This is the stock vote example that comes with M2.

@tunaranch,

Thanks for providing this screencast. We should always do this - gives the whole thing a complete new dimension .

I have just created a brand new project 'vote' on a Windows and also a Linux machine and it works fine for me... Go figure.

I guess we need to take another look on a Mac machine... Can you swtich on 'development mode' before running the script and see if that causes any interesting output?

Btw, you can simply run:

roo> development mode
roo> script vote.roo

No need to import it as external file. This is because we ship the sample scripts in one of the jars already .

Thanks,
Stefan

Oh nice. Is there anyway to save roo's outfile to a file? Or were you able to get everything you need from the screencast?

[Stefan Schmidt]

Well for the output you could simply copy the shell output to a file... but from the script I cannot see anything go wrong. Changing to 'development mode' does not show anything interesting either? Adding the selenium test does not really change the behaviour of the Spring MVC infrastructure.

I guess I have to get my hands on a Mac to test this. Maybe you can open a Jira ticket for this and provide a link to your screencast.

Can you also confirm the same happens when you run the clinic.roo and the wedding.roo scripts?

Thanks,
Stefan

Done. Answered your questions and am watching the issue at http://jira.springframework.org/browse/ROO-121.

Just let me know in the comments there if there's anything else I can do.

[Stefan Schmidt]

Thanks for this. I'll need a few days before I have time to look into this issue a little closer.

Regards,
Stefan

It appears this problem is more on your side rather than a general Roo or OSX problem. There is a video which shows Roo in action and the application working without having to generate any Selenium tests:

I'll leave the bug ticket open until we find out more.

Cheers,
