Because of caching, the ?restartApplication parameter is needed after the first run if you want to run multiple test classes. ## Creating a new test Creating a new test involves two steps: Creating a test UI (typically this should be provided in the ticket) and creating a TestBench test for the UI. ## Creating a new test UI -Test UIs are created inside the uitest/src folder in the com.vaadin.tests package. For tests for a given component, use the com.vaadin.tests.components.<component> package. For other features, use a suitable existing com.vaadin.tests.<something> package or create a new one if no suitable exists. +Test UIs are created inside the `uitest/src` folder in the `com.vaadin.tests` package. For tests for a given component, use the `com.vaadin.tests.components.<component>` package. For other features, use a suitable existing com.vaadin.tests.<something> package or create a new one if no suitable exists. The test should be named according to what it tests, e.g. EnsureFormTooltipWorks. Names should not refer to a ticket, e.g. Ticket1123 will automatically be rejected during code review as it is non-descriptive. There are a couple of helper UI super classes which you can use for the test. You should never extend UI directly: -* AbstractTestUI +* `AbstractTestUI` * Automatically sets up a VerticalLayout with a description label on the top. Use addComponent() to add components to the layout * Supports ?transport=websocket/streaming/xhr parameter for setting push mode. This is for testing core push functionality, typically you should just add @Push to your test UI -* AbstractTestUIWithLog +* `AbstractTestUIWithLog` * AbstractTestUI but adds a log at the top to which you can add rows using log(String). Handy for printing state information which the TB test can assert reliably. -* ~~AbstractTestCase, TestBase~~ - * Old base classes for tests. Don’t use for any new tests. Extends LegacyApplication. -* AbstractComponentTest, AbstractFieldTest, ... +* `AbstractComponentTest`, `AbstractFieldTest`, ... * Base classes for generic component tests. Generates test which have a menu on the top containing options for configuring the component. Classes follow the same component hierarchy as Vaadin component classes and this way automatically gets menu items for setting features the parent class supports. * Gotcha: If you add a new feature to a menu you need to run and possibly (probably) fix all TB tests which use the class as they will click on the wrong item (fixable by implementing [http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/11307](http://dev.vaadin.com/ticket/11307)) +[Note] `AbstractTestCase` and `TestBase` are old base classes for tests.
