The most recent builds area of the all builds and project builds table needs to update as a build progresses. It also needs additional functionality to show other states (e.g. recipe parsing, queued) which again needs to update on the client side. Rather than add to the existing mix of server-side templating with client-side DOM updating, translate all of the server-side templates to client-side ones (jsrender), and add logic which updates the most recent builds area as the state of a build changes. Add a JSON API for mostrecentbuilds, which returns the state of all "recent" builds. Fetch this via Ajax from the build dashboard (rather than fetching the ad hoc API as in the previous version). Then, as new states for builds are fetched via Ajax, determine whether the build state has changed completely, or whether the progress has just updated. If the state completely changed, re-render the template on the client side for that build. If only the progress changed, just update the progress bar. (NB this fixes the task progress bar so it works for the project builds and all builds pages.) In cases where the builds table needs to update as the result of a build finishing, reload the whole page. This work highlighted a variety of other issues, such as build requests not being able to change state as necessary. This was one part of the cause of the "cancelling build..." state being fragile and disappearing entirely when the page refreshed. The cancelling state now persists between page reloads, as the logic for determining whether a build is cancelling is now on the Build object itself. Note that jsrender is redistributed as part of Toaster, so a note was added to LICENSE to that effect.

Running Toaster's browser-based test suite
These tests require Selenium to be installed in your Python environment.
The simplest way to install this is via pip:
pip install selenium==2.53.2
Note that if you use other versions of Selenium, some of the tests (such as tests.browser.test_js_unit_tests.TestJsUnitTests) may fail, as these rely on a Selenium test report with a version-specific format.
To run tests against Chrome:
- Download chromedriver for your host OS from https://sites.google.com/a/chromium.org/chromedriver/downloads
- On *nix systems, put chromedriver on PATH
- On Windows, put chromedriver.exe in the same directory as chrome.exe
To run tests against PhantomJS (headless):
- Download and install PhantomJS: http://phantomjs.org/download.html
- On *nix systems, put phantomjs on PATH
- Not tested on Windows
To run tests against Firefox, you may need to install the Marionette driver, depending on how new your version of Firefox is. One clue that you need to do this is if you see an exception like:
selenium.common.exceptions.WebDriverException: Message: The browser appears to have exited before we could connect. If you specified a log_file in the FirefoxBinary constructor, check it for details.
See https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Mozilla/QA/Marionette/WebDriver for installation instructions. Ensure that the Marionette executable (renamed as wires on Linux or wires.exe on Windows) is on your PATH; and use "marionette" as the browser string passed via TOASTER_TESTS_BROWSER (see below).
(Note: The Toaster tests have been checked against Firefox 47 with the Marionette driver.)
The test cases will instantiate a Selenium driver set by the TOASTER_TESTS_BROWSER environment variable, or Chrome if this is not specified.
Available drivers:
- chrome (default)
- firefox
- marionette (for newer Firefoxes)
- ie
- phantomjs
e.g. to run the test suite with phantomjs where you have phantomjs installed in /home/me/apps/phantomjs:
PATH=/home/me/apps/phantomjs/bin:$PATH TOASTER_TESTS_BROWSER=phantomjs manage.py test tests.browser
