[twill] Passing local html files to twill?

[Christopher Rasch]

Hi,

I want to write a twill test function that will

a.  browser to a given url
b.  test to see if the page returned is the expected page or not

In order to test that the test itself is working correctly, I want to  
pass sample "known good" and "known bad" html pages to the test  
function, and see if it passes or fails.

I have a directory containing of a bunch of sample html pages.  I  
tried to "browse" to a file in the directory, but it didn't work.   
How can I pass an html file to twill so that I can use twill's  
assertion code?  Is there a better way to do what I want to do?   
Thanks for any help you may wish to provide.

Chris



Here's the code I tried:

def test_mtacohomepage():
   script = "title 'Marketocracy :: Finding the Best Investors in the '"
   twill.execute_string(script, initial_url='file:///Users/crasch/ 
Projects/trunk/Scripts/Python/PortfolioTests/test_html/ 
unexpected_error.html')

crasch:~/Projects/trunk/Scripts/Python/PortfolioTests/nosetests crasch 
$ nosetests
