Hi Thomas,

My mistake. The suggested code I sent you was off the top of my head.

What you're seeing with performActionNamed() is the correct behavior. All direct action methods must be named "<some>Action()" in order to be correctly invoked by the direct action request handler. Overriding performActionNamed() is overkill and still would not have made this code work.

The problem is that performActionNamed() only performs the specified action on the WODirectAction subclass you call it on. In this case, you're calling it within your own DirectAction class. WOUnitTest provides two other direct action classes, "ut" and "uta," for its own direct actions.

As a much simpler approach, there is a WOUnitTest component that actually handles running tests called WOUTMain. If you invoke that directly in your defaultAction() method, you'll get the test runner component when your application starts up. This code will do the trick:

public WOActionResults defaultAction() {
        return pageWithName("WOUTMain");
}

This seems to work partly... The problem is that "Action" is added to any action passed to performActionNamed(). Since WOUnitTest's action is uta and not utaAction this won't work. If I could find out how to override performActionNamed() this will work.

Hi Thomas,

To load the WOUnitTest runner page by default when the application starts up, you'll need to do two things:

1. Change the application's default request handler to the DirectAction request handler. One possible place to do this in your Application's constructor:
WORequestHandler daHandler = requestHandlerForKey(directActionRequestHandlerKey());
setDefaultRequestHandler(daHandler);


2. Next, you'll want to ensure that your default direct action returns the WOUnitTest runner action. This should be put into your DirectAction.defaultAction() method. The "uta" action is the WOUnitTest DA for accessing the "all tests" runner.
return performActionNamed("uta");

That's it. Obviously, you'll want to make sure you take this code out before deployment so your users don't automatically see the unit test runner page.


Realistically, you probably won't want to link to the WOUnitTest framework at all when you're building your application for deployment, since it isn't a great idea to leave in an action in that can allow users to run your unit tests on a deployed application!

I hope that helps,

Colin
