Dear future Stefan, When running IE8 UI-tests on a build server, always remember to login to the machine with the same user account that is used by your CI framework of choice. There are many different reasons why selenium can have a hard time communicating with IE such as running in protected mode and/or having …
The website I’m working on is slow and steady switching its layout to a responsive design and there have been cases where I’ve thought “Hmm, it would be nice to have some sort of UI test for that scenario”. Since many of the use cases are basically more or less the same as when browsing …
This post is part of a series of post where I try to implement an in memory IContentRepository. The tests for this posts are found here and here. This post will look at the last members of the IContentLoader interface for a while, namely GetDescendents and GetAncestors. First thing that pop out is that Descendents …
This post is part of a series of post where I try to implement an in memory IContentRepository. The tests for this posts are found here.

Some background: on the site I’m currently working with searching is a key part and a search might exist in many different context and differ somewhat depending on the context. When writing a feature file I’d typically end up with something like this Duplicated steps When running these scenarios SpecFlow will execute the same method …
When my colleague Niklas Melinder applied patch 2 for EPiServer 7 he ran into trouble when the site was deployed to our acceptance server. The site started to throw “System.InvalidOperationException: The SessionStateTempDataProvider class requires session state to be enabled.”. Since our acceptance environment runs with sessions state switched off it was pretty clear what caused …
As always when UI-testing javascript heavy code with ajax calls going around you might end up with some timing issues. The problem is that it’s not easy for the poor driver to know when the page is finished and the test can start. Recently I had the task of writing some UI-tests for a page …
Some context: when using an in memory implementation of IContentRepository (most likely in a test scenario) you need to create pages that are involved in the tests.
