Overview
The test of the entire project allows simulating the startup of the site. This makes it possible to test the entire site, even if its development is not complete yet.
Remark: Project testing can be launched regardless of the current element in the editor.
How to?

Testing a static site (or the static part of a site)

To run the test of a static site from the editor:
  1. On the "Project" tab, in the "Test mode" group, expand "Test mode" and select "Debug project from the home page".
  2. The editor is automatically minimized and the project is run in the default browser.
  3. The home page appears.
When running the project test, the following processes are run before the first page is opened:
  • loading the first page (browser code).
  • entering the first control of first page (if this control has an entry process) (browser code).
Remark: If your site doesn't have a home page, WEBDEV lets you define a home page for your site.. For more details, see Home page.
Attention: To test a static site, the Web server installed on the development workstation must be started..

Stopping the project test

There are multiple methods to stop the test:
  • Method 1: Close the browser in which the test is being performed. WEBDEV displays the editor open when the test was started.
  • 2nd method: Return to the editor using the taskbar or Alt + Tab and confirm that you want to stop the test.. WEBDEV displays the editor open when the test was started.
Notes

Test browser

To select the test browser, go to the "Project" tab, "Test mode" group, expand "Test mode" and select "Test browser".
The default browser is defined in the WEBDEV options:
  • On the "Home" tab, in the "Environment" group, expand "Options" and select "WEBDEV general options".
  • Go to the "Web" tab.
For more details, see WEBDEV options.
