how to access dom elements from gwt unit testcase?

my question is: how can I access dom elements from gwt unit testcase?

I have only a static html with a link:

<a href="#" id="my_button">jjj</a>

When I do

public void testButton() {
    Element elm = Document.get().getElementById("my_button");
    assertNotNull(elm);
}

I'll get a RuntimeException (test failed) because elm is null.

What's wrong? Am I missing any init call...?

Unit tests in GWT do not use your application's host page; they use a (or junit-standards.html) from the com.google.gwt.junit.JUnit module, which is almost empty.

You have to "create" the environment your test runs in (in gwtSetup or at the beginning of your test method).
