I’ve blogged previously about UI-testing. The purpose of that series of posts was to share information I’d gathered in the process of testing but I never really got around to writing about how to get started. Inspired by the Selenium testing tools cookbook I want to write some very hands-on posts so let’s get started. …
I was curious what’s registered in the StructureMap container by EpiServer themselves. StructureMap comes with the helpful method WhatDoIHave() which spits out everything registered. I formatted that list to make it slightly prettier Here’s the list from the above code. Rumor has it that you need to have this list memorized if you are to …
This post discusses some different approaches you can take to testing your EPiServer site. Unfortunately it won’t give you answers to the eternal question “what to test?”. While it’s always boring to do the typical consultant “it depends” it’s very hard to give general guidelines what to test, when to do it and what approach …
I’ve been exploring the possibility to change how the new on page editor behaves and this is what I’ve found so far (wow, that was an uninspired introduction even for me). The following standard page with two PropertyNumber (int) will server as the base for the exploration. The template for this is a plain MVC …
I’ve blogged previously on why you’d want to create your “IDataFactory” and how decorators can help you keep your code clean. In this post I’ll expand on that subject. A tale of five children A given node contains five children. Two of these (in grey) are not visible in menues and two (in pink) are …
With the DI support coming in EPiServer 7 SM sooner or later is going to try and resolve a dependency and fail to do so. Most likely this is due to a container configuration issue and this is where the StructureMapDependencyResolver that ships with the MVC template preview falls slightly short. Not that it won’t …
If you’ve read my blog during the years you’ll know that I’ve blogged at time or two about dependency injection and Ioc-containers. The biggest problem with this that always saddened me a bit was that I could almost never spend any time talking about why I liked it and how much easier they made my …
I’ve previously written about the migration support in PTB 2 migrations. In Falcon EPiServer have added their own migration support. Let’s start with a simple page type And then we’ll give it a value Changing the property name If we were to change the property name EPiServer have no real way of knowing what the …
(If this post seems out of context, return to introduction post and hopefully it will make more sense) How to identify commentable areas As described previously an article is made up of both an article page type as well as one more more chapter page types. The chapter page contains a xhtml editor in which …
Recently I saw a forum thread over at EpiServer world that asked for chat functionality and since I had previously toyed around with the basic idea I decided to write a quick POC. Like Fredrik says it can be implemented using SignalR. SignalR is in their own words an “async signaling library for .NET to …
