flashwatir appears to be dead.
is there anyway I can interact with objects in flash apps ? like clicking button and such from a gui-less linux server ?
like
flashapp.button.click("flash button")
puts flashapp.button.text # returns the text label of flash button
We've been using RiaTest http://www.riatest.com/ , and FlexMonkey http://code.google.com/p/flexmonkey/
(with various levels of success... we always got into some troubles in very specific cases).
However, for Flex like for any kind of GUI, I would suggest you try designing your code so that you can use pure flexunit tests to check most of your logic, before you go into "functionnal" testing in the browser.
Most of the time, I don't want to check that clicking on a button calls a function ; what I want is to test that the function works.
Hoping this helps.
Another alternative is to use Selenium with the Flash-Selenium extension - disclaimer, I haven't personally used this.
