Unittest upload file webscript

Hi,

I want to write a unittest (junit) for testing a webscript that uploads a file (alfresco 3.4.7 enterprise). I use the BaseWebScriptTest as in the documentation. I don't know how i can upload the file with the PostRequest. Is it even possible to do this? It would be nice if we could just use the methods from httpclient to compose our requests for the tests (ex. org.apache.commons.httpclient.methods.PostMethod)

Now i'm getting the next excepiton :

Caused by: org.alfresco.scripts.ScriptException: 01020002 Failed to execute script 'classpath*:alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/com/amplexor/dsd/process.post.js': 01020001 ReferenceError: "formdata" is not defined. (file:/home/bart/workspace/dsd/alfresco/target/classes/alfresco/extension/templates/webscripts/com/amplexor/dsd/process.post.js#4)‍

// start class

@RunWith(SpringJUnit4ClassRunner.class)
@ContextConfiguration("classpath:system-test-context.xml")
public class UploadWebscriptTest extends BaseWebScriptTest{

// test code

        PostRequest post = new PostRequest("/dsd/sd/process", FileUtils.readFileToByteArray(f), "application/octet-stream");
        Map<String, String> map = new HashMap<String, String>();
        map.put("Content-Disposition", "form-data; name=\"file\"; filename=\"dsd\"");
        map.put("Content-Transfer-Encoding", "binary");
        post.setHeaders(map);
        post.setEncoding("multipart/form-data");
        sendRequest(post, 200);

The problem is that you need to run a HTTP server to receive the request, so its not as simple as first it seems.

However there are many of Alfresco's automated tests that call web scrips via Post, use them as a template.

Take a look at the Remote API project, for example SiteServiceTest.
