[Zope-dev] zope.testbrowser and WebTest (round 2)

30 Jan 2011

      I've finally finished refactoring my WebTest/testbrowser branches,
basically doing this:

    - Integrate with WebTest. zope.testbrowser.webtest.Browser is a new
      Browser implementation that uses webtest.TestApp to drive a WSGI 
      application. This allows simple and direct testing of WSGI applications.

    - Re-write the test application as a pure WSGI application using WebOb.
      Run the existing tests using the WebTest based Browser

    - Move zope.app.testing based Browser into zope.app.testing (leaving
      backwards compatibility imports in-place).

This refactoring removes these test dependencies from zope.testbroswer:

    zope.app.appsetup
    zope.app.publication
    zope.app.testing >= 3.8.1
    zope.browserpage
    zope.browserresource
    zope.component
    zope.container
    zope.principalregistry
    zope.ptresource
    zope.publisher
    zope.security
    zope.site
    zope.traversing

And adds these:

    zope.pagetemplate
    WebTest

zope.app.testing gains this dependency:

    zope.testbrowser >= 4.0.0dev

This is a very big change, so I would appreciate anyone who would take a
look at these branches before I merge:

    svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zope.testbrowser/branches/jinty-webtest3
    svn+ssh://svn.zope.org/repos/main/zope.app.testing/branches/jinty-testbrowser

I plan to merge the branches in the next few weeks if there are no
objections.
