Revision history for Test-WWW-Mechanize

WWW::Mechanize and Test::WWW::Mechanize do not use rt.cpan.org for bug tracking. They are now being tracked via Google Code at http://code.google.com/p/www-mechanize/issues/list

1.32 Wed May 11 10:12:25 CDT 2011

No changes from 1.31_01.

1.31_01 Wed May 4 16:07:31 CDT 2011

[ENHANCEMENTS]
The methods that look at the text of the page, ->text_like() and ->text_unlike(), now use the WWW::Mechanize method ->text() which caches the text. This will be a big speedup if you call these methods more than once.

[FIXED]
Normalized the use of single vs. double quotes in the default descriptions.

Fixed tests that fail under newer versions of LWP.

Fixed tests that fail if http_proxy or HTTP_PROXY are set.

Fixed tests that fail on Perl 5.14.

1.30 Wed Jun 9 12:23:48 CDT 2010

[ENHANCEMENTS]
autolint used to only work on get_ok() calls. Now it works with post_ok(), submit_form_ok(), follow_link_ok() and click_ok().

Added $mech->text_contains(), $mech->text_like() and $mech->text_unlike() methods. These check the text of an HTML page separate from the HTML markup. Thanks to Ashley Pond V.

[FIXED]
t/head_ok.t should no longer fail if your ISP "helpfully" returns an IP address for non-existent DNS records. Thanks, Schwern.

1.28 Tue Apr 13 00:44:27 CDT 2010

[FIXED]
t/put_ok.t finally passes.

1.26 Mon Apr 5 00:54:46 CDT 2010

[FIXED]
Description of error in $mech->content_unlike() was wrong.

Now requires Test::LongString 0.12.

t/put_ok.t now passes, but with a handful of warnings. Help in figuring out why would be appreciated.

[INTERNALS]
Hoisted common code out of get_ok, post_ok, etc.

[DOCUMENTATION]
Updated copyright and licensing information.

1.24 Sat Jan 17 13:26:47 CST 2009

Tests run on port 13432 instead of 8080. It should really be a random open port, but for now, something other than 8080 will do.

1.23_01 Mon Dec 22 17:43:46 CST 2008

[FIXED]
Tests would fail because we weren't unsetting http_proxy.

Fixed many failed tests. Overhauled the test server setup.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added autolinting capability, so you can do this:

my $mech = Test::WWW::Mechanize->new( autolint => 1 ); $mech->get_ok( $url );

and the get_ok() will fail if the page is fetched, but the resultant HTML (if it is indeed text/html) does not pass HTML::Lint.

Added $mech->click_ok().

The user agent is now "Test-WWW-Mechanize/version" by default.

1.22 Thu Nov 20 00:33:36 CST 2008

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added $mech->head_ok() and $mech->put_ok() methods. Thanks to Jaldhar Vyas.

1.20 Wed Mar 12 23:56:11 CDT 2008

[FIXES]
stuff_inputs() used to do nothing. Now it works. http://code.google.com/p/www-mechanize/issues/detail?id=9

Fixed punctuation in some error messages.

Fixed compatibility with WWW::Mechanize 1.36.

1.18 Thu Dec 6 10:12:14 CST 2007

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added default descriptions for most test assertions.

[FIXES]
HTML::Lint is now properly optional.

Added delays in all the tests that use HTTP::Server::Simple to give it time to correctly fire up.

1.16 Mon Oct 29 15:34:21 CDT 2007

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added $mech->post_ok(). Thanks, Greg Sheard.

Added $mech->submit_form_ok(). Thanks, Mark Stosberg.

Added $mech->html_lint_ok()

[FIXES]
Fixed some bugs that were causing test failures.

1.14 Fri May 11 16:22:02 CDT 2007

[FIXES]
Fixes test failures. Thanks to Mark Blackman for RT #26602:

The module tests currently spawn a server (based on HTTP::Server::Simple::CGI) which is killed when a __DIE__ signal is received, normally only when the invoking perl dies. However, as perlvar makes clear, the __DIE__ signal is received when eval blocks die as well. The new version (1.22) of WWW::Mechanize now calles HTTP::Message::decoded_content which calls Encode.pm which has a eval block that require's Encode::ConfigLocal which is usually not present, so the eval dies and the HTTP server is killed as soon as the $mech object tries to do a 'get'. It's simple to use a system variable, $^S to find out if the __DIE__ signal is being called for an eval so we ignore that case with the patch attached.

1.12 Thu Jul 6 23:47:59 CDT 2006

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added followable_links() method to return only those links that your mech can actually follow.

1.10 Sun Jun 18 22:58:41 CDT 2006

[FIXES]
RT #19147: Tests turn off the http_proxy environment variable before starting. Thanks to Matt Trout.

RT #18779: makes stuff_inputs() conform to the documentation, changing the implementation to expect an arrayref for $options->{ignore}, as opposed to a hashref. Thanks to Mike O'Regan.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added base_is, base_like and base_unlike. Thanks to MATSUNO Tokuhiro.

1.08 Mon Nov 21 10:35:23 CST 2005

[FIXES]
has_tag_like()'s regex was reversed, so would match when it shouldn't. Thanks to Chris Dolan.

[DOCUMENTATION]
Added links to support sites.

1.06 Jun 29 2005

[INTERNALS]
Updated test suite to use HTTP::Server::Simple. Thanks to Shawn Sorichetti for it.

1.05_02 Sun Apr 3 12:19:05 CDT 2005

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added has_tag() and has_tag_like(). Thanks RJBS.

1.05_01 Tue Mar 8 16:24:36 CST 2005

[ENHANCEMENTS]
get_ok() now shows the status line for the mech if the test fails.

get_ok() now returns true/false, not an HTTP::Response.

1.04 Fri Mar 4 00:08:42 CST 2005

Added follow_link_ok(). Thanks to Mike O'Regan.

Added get_ok(). Thanks to Dan Friedman.

0.99 Sun Oct 24 11:17:59 CDT 2004

[ENHANCEMENTS]
Added $mech->content_unlike and $mech->title_unlike

Made the reporting of where the error happened reflect the caller's code.
