I just noticed that zope.testrecorder, which is listed in ztk.cfg as an included package, imports from Globals, OFS, AccessControl and Products.PageTemplates. This looks to me as if zope.testrecorder shouldn't actually be part of the ZTK. It's also not used by any package mentioned in ztk.cfg. -- Thomas

As one of the last few people to touch zope.testrecorder I should probably speak up with some background. The package was created several years ago to experiment with writing a browser test recorder that could output either testbrowser tests or old-style functional tests. It fell into disuse from almost the start but Philipp brought it out of mothballs to cover in his book. Since then I don't know that anyone has worked on it -- or that it works at all, in fact. I don't have any problem with it being dropped from the ZTK. -- Benji York Senior Software Engineer Zope Corporation

I know a lot of people are using testrecorder with Plone. That doesn't mean it has to be in the ZTK of course. Martin -- Author of `Professional Plone Development`, a book for developers who want to work with Plone. See http://martinaspeli.net/plone-book

Never heard of anyone who did. zope.testbrowser is used quite a bit, if that's what you meant. Hanno

The test recorder is mostly Javascript. The file you saw provides Zope 2 support. It obviously isn't used by Zope 3. The test recorder can (or at least could) be used by Zope 3. In any case, I agree it should be dropped from the ZTK. Jim -- Jim Fulton
