# News

## 1.2.5

- Moved TestApp to app.py
- Added selenium testing framework. See `sel` module.

## 1.2.4

- Accept lists for `app.post(url, params=[...])`
- Allow to use url that starts with the SCRIPT_NAME found in extra_environ
- Fix #16 Default content-type is now correctly set to application/octet-stream
- Fix #14 and #18 Allow to use .delete(params={})
- Fix #12

## 1.2.3

- Fix #10, now TestApp.extra_environ doesn’t take precedence over a WSGI environment passed in through the request.
- Removed stray print

## 1.2.2

- Revert change to cookies that would add `"` around cookie values.
- Added property `webtest.Response.pyquery()` which returns a PyQuery object.
- Set base_url on `resp.lxml`
- Include tests and docs in tarball.
- Fix sending in webob.Request (or webtest.TestRequest) objects.
- Fix handling forms with file uploads, when no file is selected.
- Added `extra_environ` argument to `webtest.TestResponse.click()`.
- Fixed/added wildcard statuses, like `status="4*"`
- Fix file upload fields in forms: allow upload field to be empty.
- Added support for single-quoted html attributes.
- TestResponse now has unicode support. It is turned on by default for all responses with charset information. This is backward incompatible change if you rely (e.g. in doctests) on parsed form fields or responses returned by json and lxml methods being encoded strings when charset header is in response. In order to switch to old behaviour pass use_unicode=False flag to TestApp constructor.

## 1.2.1

- Added method `TestApp.request()`, which can be used for sending requests with different methods (e.g., `MKCOL`). This method sends all its keyword arguments to `webtest.TestRequest.blank()` and then executes the request. The parameters are somewhat different than other methods (like `webtest.TestApp.get()`), as they match WebOb’s attribute names exactly (the other methods were written before WebOb existed).
- Removed the copying of stdout to stderr during requests.
- Fix file upload fields in forms (#340) – you could upload files with `webtest.TestApp.post()`, but if you use `resp.form` file upload fields would not work (from rcs-comp.com and Matthew Desmarais).

## 1.2

- Fix form inputs; text inputs always default to the empty string, and unselected radio inputs default to nothing at all. From Daniele Paolella.
- Fix following links with fragments (these fragments should not be sent to the WSGI application). From desmaj.
- Added `force_value` to select fields, like `res.form['select'].force_value("new_value")`. This makes it possible to simulate forms that are dynamically updated. From Matthew Desmarais.
- Fixed `webtest.Response.mustcontain()` when you pass in a `no=[strings]` argument.

## 1.1

- Changed the `__str__` of responses to make them more doctest friendly:
  - All headers are displayed capitalized, like Content-Type
  - Headers are sorted alphabetically
- Changed `__repr__` to only show the body length if the complete body is not shown (for short bodies the complete body is in the repr)
- Note: these are backward incompatible changes if you are using doctest (you’ll have to update your doctests with the new format).
- Fixed exception in the `.delete` method.
- Added a `content_type` argument to `app.post` and `app.put`, which sets the `Content-Type` of the request. This is more convenient when testing REST APIs.
- Skip links in `<script>...</script>` tags (since that’s not real markup).

## 1.0.2

- Don’t submit unnamed form fields.
- Checkboxes with no explicit `value` send `on` (previously they sent `checked`, which isn’t what browsers send).
- Support for `<select multiple>` fields (from Matthew Desmarais)

1.0.1 —

- Fix the `TestApp` validator’s InputWrapper lacking support for readline with an argument as needed by the cgi module.

## 1.0

- Keep URLs in-tact in cases such as `app.get('http://www.python.org')` (so HTTP_HOST=www.python.org, etc).
- Fix `lxml.html` import, so lxml 2.0 users can get HTML lxml objects from `resp.lxml`
- Treat `<input type="image">` like a submit button.
- Use `BaseCookie` instead of `SimpleCookie` for storing cookies (avoids quoting cookie values).
- Accept any `params` argument that has an `items` method (like MultiDict)

## 0.9

Initial release
