Subject: Directory layout problem with htmlunit tests
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed

Hi all,

I encountered some problems with the newly added htmlunit tests in 
Eclipse: the layout of src/test (and other directories) is:
- anteater: anteater xml files that should be deleted in favor of htmlunit
- htmlunit: root of the java source file hierarchy for tests requiring a 
live server
- org: root package of the regular junit tests

This mixing of root package and classification directory confuses 
Eclipse that barfs saying that "htmlunit.org.apache...." isn't in the 
right directory.

Moving all htmlunit classes is not an option as it runs in a different 
context as regular junit tests since it expects a live Cocoon to be 
available to send http requests, and therefore runs externally compared 
to other tests that run internally.

To solve this problem and clarify the different test categories, I 
propose to split them into disctinct directories :
- src/test/internal for current junit tests
- src/test/external for htmlunit tests.

Using the "external" name rather than "htmlunit" leaves room for other 
external test tools such as httpunit.

WDYT ?

Sylvain
