I started testing my web components and noticed that Dart has a good library for that and it does work well with Dart. But now I also want to test my Polymer component, but I'm having a hard time doing that. It seems that my Unit Test does not recognize my Element as a Polymer Element. That how my "test" looks like at the moment
test.dart
import "../../../components/medium/bar-chart.dart";
import "package:unittest/unittest.dart";
import 'package:polymer/polymer.dart';
import 'dart:html';
main() {
// initPolymer();
print("--- Bar Chart Test ---");
group('Bar Chart Test', () {
test(("queryForBarChart"),() {
expect(querySelector('bar-chart'), isNotNull); // PASS
});
test(("testtest"),() {
// This should pass
expect(querySelector('bar-chart').test(), equals(5));
// Test failed: Caught type 'HtmlElement' is not a subtype of type 'BarChartElement' in type cast.
// without Cast: Test failed: Caught Class 'HtmlElement' has no instance method 'test'.
});
});
}
test.html

also I get the Exception:
Uncaught HierarchyRequestError: Failed to execute 'appendChild' on 'Node': Nodes of type 'HTML' may not be inserted inside nodes of type '#document'.
from: polymer.concat.js:6313
As i dont have any experience testing dart polymer, I take any advice whats the best what to do that.
You need proper Polymer initialization code. See how to implement a main function in polymer apps for details.
This package contains a lot of Polymer.dart unit tests you can use as example https://github.com/dart-lang/core-elements/tree/master/test
Hint: don't forget to add the entry pages for the test to the polymer transformer configuation.
