    <p>I want to write a simple HTMLUnit test script for Jenkins (former Hudson). INFO: Jenkins uses the YUI Javascript library. The YUI library replaces the form submit with a custom button. The script just creates a new job in Jenkins.</p> <p>start Jenkins: java -jar jenkins.war</p> <p>Current versions of HTMLUnit do not support form.submit any more and require you to use button.click() for form submitting. Unfortunately this does not work for Jenkins (the sample below does not advance the page and create the job but stays on the new job page)</p> <p>I tried for some hours now to find a solution or workaround but so far I could not get the form submitted. Hopefully somebody has found a solution and let me know.</p> <p>Here is my sample code:</p> <pre><code>package example; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.BrowserVersion; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlAnchor; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlButton; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlForm; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlInput; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlTextInput; import com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlSubmitInput; public class jenkins3 { public static void main(String args[]) { // create a new job in jenkins // home final WebClient webClient = new WebClient(BrowserVersion.FIREFOX_3_6); try { final HtmlPage page1 = webClient.getPage("http://localhost:8080"); //assertEquals("Dashboard [Jenkins]", page1.getTitleText()); // new job final HtmlAnchor new_job = page1.getAnchorByText("New Job"); final HtmlPage page2 = new_job.click(); // job name HtmlTextInput name_field = (HtmlTextInput) page2.getElementById("name"); name_field.type("new job by htmlunit"); // radio button final HtmlInput radio_freestyle = (HtmlInput) page2.getByXPath("//input[@value='hudson.model.FreeStyleProject']").get(0); radio_freestyle.click(); Thread.sleep(10000); // OK button (submit form) final HtmlForm form = page2.getFormByName("createItem"); //final HtmlSubmitInput button = (HtmlSubmitInput) form.getByXPath("//button").get(0); final HtmlButton button = (HtmlButton) form.getByXPath("//button").get(0); final HtmlPage page3 = button.click(); // !!!!! Form submit does not workstacko //assertEquals("Dashboard [Jenkins]", page3.getTitleText()); } catch( Exception e ) { System.out.println( "General exception thrown:" + e.getMessage() ); e.printStackTrace(); } webClient.closeAllWindows(); } } </code></pre>

    1. COHow do you submit the form when you look at the page in a browser? HtmlUnit typically tries to replicate human interaction with a page, not DOM-level things you can't do via the browser.

    2. COAs I stated above Jenkins uses the YUI Javascript library. The YUI library replaces the form submit with a custom button. This button triggers the form submit action and does some magic behind the scenes like mangling all the input fields into one hidden field prior to form submit.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
