I am trying to functional testing on a custom node creation form, and cannot figure out the correct syntax for selecting the taxonomy terms.
The form in question looks kinda like this:
<select name="edit[taxonomy][14][]" multiple="multiple" class="form-select" id="edit-taxonomy-14" size="9"><option value="0"><none></option><option value="187">British Telecommunications</option><option value="269">Carnegie Mellon University</option><option value="289">ETC</option></select>
<input type="text" maxlength="128" name="edit[first_name]" id="edit-first_name" size="60" value="" class="form-text" />
<input type="text" maxlength="128" name="edit[last_name]" id="edit-last_name" size="60" value="" class="form-text required" />
<input type="submit" name="op" value="Submit" class="form-submit" />I have tried each of:
<?php
$edit = array();
// $edit[ 'taxonomy' ] = array( '14' => array('187') );
//Fail: CITRIS -> Create Citris Person -> testCitrisPerson -> [browser] Setting edit[taxonomy]="Array" at [C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\upgrade47\sites\default\modules\simpletest\drupal_test_case.php line 46]
// $edit[ 'taxonomy][' ] = array( '14' => array('187') );
//Fail: CITRIS -> Create Citris Person -> testCitrisPerson -> [browser] Setting edit[taxonomy][]="Array" at [C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\upgrade47\sites\default\modules\simpletest\drupal_test_case.php line 46]
// $edit[ 'taxonomy][14' ] = '187';
//Fail: CITRIS -> Create Citris Person -> testCitrisPerson -> [browser] Setting edit[taxonomy][14]="187" at [C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\upgrade47\sites\default\modules\simpletest\drupal_test_case.php line 46]
// $edit[ 'taxonomy][14' ] = array('187');
//Fail: CITRIS -> Create Citris Person -> testCitrisPerson -> [browser] Setting edit[taxonomy][14]="Array" at [C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\upgrade47\sites\default\modules\simpletest\drupal_test_case.php line 46]
// $edit[ 'taxonomy][14][' ] = array( '14' => array('187') );
//Fail: CITRIS -> Create Citris Person -> testCitrisPerson -> [browser] Setting edit[taxonomy][14][]="Array" at [C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\upgrade47\sites\default\modules\simpletest\drupal_test_case.php line 46]
// $edit[ 'taxonomy][14][' ] = '187';
// Exception: CITRIS -> Create Citris Person -> testCitrisPerson -> Unexpected PHP error [Invalid argument supplied for foreach()] severity [E_WARNING] in [C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs\upgrade47\sites\default\modules\simpletest\simpletest\tag.php line 820]
$edit['first_name'] = 'Bob';
$edit['last_name'] = $this->randomName(10);
$this->drupalPostRequest( 'node/add/citris_person', $edit, 'Submit' );
die ("Stop to examine the results - node created, but no term associated");
?>I found a comment in taxonomy.module.test that multiple select and drupalPostRequest do not get along. So I tried what they had:
<?php
// multiple slect box was failing through drupalPostRequest. Use raw POST instead
$edit = array('edit[first_name]' => 'Foo', 'edit[last_name]' => $this->randomName(10), 'edit[taxonomy][14][]' => array('187') );
$url = url('node/add/citris_person', NULL, NULL, TRUE);
$this->post($url, $edit);
die ("Stop to examine results - nothing. Node not created at all");
?>Any help out there?
thanks,

Selenium
Since posting this I have realized that Selenium is much easier to use for functional testing.
SimpleTest in Drupal 5
Hey guys, I've update the patch for Drupal 5 to including simpletest testing. We wondering if I could get a bit of help reviewing it; also, there seems to be an issue with the Taxonomy nodeapi....for some reason, it will not create the vocab's? It's very strange, the db_query function in the taxonomy function runs, throw no errors, but nothing is in the database? like it's working against a phantom database.
Here's a link to the patch:
