... which makes golden files generally a nightmare.
Tests also fail if you change, for instance, your
auto-ID generation code. Or if you change the
order in which attributes are written. Etc.
FYI, I wrote a ResponseWriter for Trinidad that
solves many of these problems:
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/adffaces/trunk/trinidad/trinidad-impl/src/test/java/org/apache/myfaces/trinidadinternal/renderkit/TestResponseWriter.java
... especially in conjunction with a special
ExternalContext implementation that I swap in.
