How to test faceted views? (<noscript> in faceted results div)

Development Testing and Automation

Hello everybody,

I have a custom faceted view (registered with faceted:view directive) which I would like to test. In my tests I enabled faceted navigation, configured faceted widgets by importing a xml file and used one widget (simple text widget) to filter for a specifc value. Now I assert that browser.contents contains the expected values corresponding to the search. But in the section where faceted results should be displayed there is a tag in the HTML returned by browser.contents.

<div id="faceted-results" class="faceted-results">
    <noscript>

    </noscript>
</div>

This is the source code from eea.facetednavigation/eea/facetednavigation/browser/template/macros.pt

<!-- Results -->
<metal:results define-macro="results" tal:define="
  mode mode | string:edit;
  view_mode python:mode == 'view';
  edit_mode python:mode == 'edit';
  search_mode python:mode == 'search';
  faceted_html faceted_html | string:;
">
  <div id="faceted-results" class="faceted-results"
    metal:define-slot="content">
    <noscript tal:condition="view_mode">
      <tal:results replace="structure python:faceted_html" />
    </noscript>
  </div>
</metal:results>

It seems like tal:results is not supported in zope.testbrowser. Can anybody help? Thanks in advance!

Hi @brendaav,

Did you define the mandatory content-core macro within your custom faceted:view. See https://github.com/eea/eea.facetednavigation/blob/master/eea/facetednavigation/views/example/summary.pt#L14

If this is not the case, please let us know :wink:

Hello @avoinea,

thanks for the reply. Yes, I have defined the the mandatory content-core macro within the faceted:view. See below:

        </tr>

        </tbody>
      </table>


      <div metal:use-macro="context/batch_macros/macros/navigation"/>

    </div>


  </metal:block>
</metal:content-core>
</body>
</html>

It also works normally, but not in the tests.

Well tal:results is just a custom name for tal:block, I would look with debugger at view_mode and faceted_html :wink:
