Test No Longer Passes

[dschinkel]

I spent 2 hours looking at this with no luck.

I've got a situation where now, the same test, same code will not pass. You run localhost:3000 and the text that fetchText was checking is there, but for some reason, it's failing, even though that text is there in the browser.

This is a test that was working fine, and the same text has been rendered to that page for a long time now. For some reason casper.fetchText('h3') is returning an empty string whereas yesterday it was working fine.

I've shared my code to you Nathan, so that you may clone and run it. Just type gulp at the command-line to run it and you will see what I'm referring to.

this is still a problem. Check out my latest code in that repo...pull it down. You'll notice that the bundle file gets created, the express server runs, then go to localhost:3000, see that it renders the text "No Companies Found" yet my test which had been passing a while back is no longer passing for that fetchText.

Are you using windows?

[dschinkel]

no OS X

For some reason casper.fetchText('h3') is returning an empty string whereas yesterday it was working fine.

Then it's a regression in casperjs or a legitimate test breakage.

[dschinkel]

well it was passing a while back so...doesn't make sense. I'll keep looking at it but nothing seems to stick out as to why now it's not passing when the text is on that page. I haven't updated casper so my middleware hasn't changed.

[dschinkel]

well or...

I don't know what's going on, so now I can't do an npm install because that fails above. I haven't changed a damn thing in my package.json for a long time in terms of casper stuff. Why would I be getting this error now?

So do I need to just install mocha-casperjs only? Do I need also npm install --save-dev casper and/or npm install --save-dev casperjs?

[dschinkel]

well the npm install issue is fixed https://github.com/n1k0/casperjs/issues/1525

still working on figuring out why my tests isn't passing.

[dschinkel]

Christ, the problem is that since I'm rendering a react component, it's rendered to the DOM as <h3 data-reactid=".0.0"> which is why my test is failing. When I try hard coding it into my index.html as <h3>No Companies found</h3> it works again. Errr...

[dschinkel]

it may be a timing issue, I can't see how yet, looking into it...I'll report back later.

[dschinkel]

I appreciate your support Nathan, unlike what I got over at the Casper site.
