Simpletest links in translated site get corrupted

hi,

well as i explain above, i run a test on a multilingual site.

when executing clickLink within the test, it will open a corrupted URL, having the language-code double as "http://example.com/de/de/xyz".

outside the test, the clicked links work without any problem, so i guess that simpletest somehow causes the language system to inject the language code twice!?

i know this is hard to debug, but i really would like to see if this can be fixed...

thanks josef

the same happens to me with this->drupalPost :(
any help would be appreciated

the problem seems to happen with the "path prefix with language fallback" option only

steps to reproduce:

* install drupal 6 + cck + i18n
* enable content + content translation + simpletest
* activate translation for page content type
* languages - add german, language negociation is "path prefix with language fallback"
* activate translation for page content type
* add "my page" in english and translate it to "meine seite" in german (node/2 and node/3 in my case)
* execute the following simpletest

class SimpleTestTest extends DrupalWebTestCase {

  public static function getInfo() {
    return array(
      'name' => 'SimpleTest i18n test',
      'description' => '...',
      'group' => 'SimpleTestTest',
    );
  }

	//use live db
  function setUp() {
    $this->originalPrefix = $GLOBALS['db_prefix'];
  }
  function tearDown() { }

  function testLinks() {
    $this->drupalGet('node/1');
    $this->clickLink('Deutsch');
  }

}

so here are the simpletest results:

GET http://worktest2/en/node/1 returned 200 (4.55 KB).	Browser	simpletest_test.test	20	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Valid HTML found on "http://worktest2/en/node/1"	Browser	simpletest_test.test	20	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	

$this->drupalGet('node/1'); worked, ok, but then...

Clicked link "Deutsch" (http://worktest2/en/de/node/2) from http://worktest2/en/node/1	Browser	simpletest_test.test	21	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
GET http://worktest2/en/de/node/2 returned 404 (2.71 KB).	Browser	simpletest_test.test	21	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Valid HTML found on "http://worktest2/en/de/node/2"	Browser	simpletest_test.test	21	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	

we see that with $this->clickLink('Deutsch'); wrong url is generated. after the domain name worktest, we have "/en/de/node/2" which means, that there is both an english + a german language code. therefore we encounter a 404 error and the test fails...

with language negotiation set to "none", the test will just work:

GET http://worktest2/node/1 returned 200 (4.53 KB).	Browser	simpletest_test.test	20	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Valid HTML found on "http://worktest2/node/1"	Browser	simpletest_test.test	20	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Clicked link "Deutsch" (http://worktest2/node/2) from http://worktest2/node/1	Browser	simpletest_test.test	21	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
GET http://worktest2/node/2 returned 200 (4.54 KB).	Browser	simpletest_test.test	21	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Valid HTML found on "http://worktest2/node/2"	Browser	simpletest_test.test	21	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Clicked link "English" (http://worktest2/node/1) from http://worktest2/node/2	Browser	simpletest_test.test	22	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
GET http://worktest2/node/1 returned 200 (4.53 KB).	Browser	simpletest_test.test	22	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	
Valid HTML found on "http://worktest2/node/1"	Browser	simpletest_test.test	22	SimpleTestTest->testLinks()	

assigning this to the i18n queue now.
if you could provide me a hint how to avoid this issue, i would like to submit a patch

debugging this->drupalLogin(...);

in drupal_web_test_case.php
...
$path = "/en/user";
call getAbsoluteUrl($path);
...
$path = url($path, $options);

now, $path is "/en/en/user"

not sure yet, how to avoid this?

boombatower told me, that this problem is caused by simpletests url handling / the browser it uses.

the http://drupal.org/project/browser should help us overcome this for the future (incomplete d7 draft exists at the moment)

in order to address my specific issue with the language code being put twice in the url i wrote the following patch

yeah tanks, hope this one's better :)

@dave reid: thanks for the hint for teatDown(), but this doesn't affect the issue / the behaviour of links being executed within the test.
