Thanks for the pointers that I received from a number of members from this list. I've got twill installed and I can do VERY basic navigation of VERY basic web sites. I'm making headway but very slowly. I am hoping that you can provide a little additional guidance and direction. When they don't work I'm totally in the dark. I need a tool to give me insight into what is going on when things are working. Based on a few of your tips, I've been trying to get the scotch recorder running to provide this insight but again, progress has been VERY slow because I really don't have a clue what I'm doing and I spend a lot of time fumbling around.
I downloaded the scotch package and fumbled my way through getting the packaged unpacked using a combination of GZip and Tar. I then ran "setup.py install" which I believe installed the scotch package. Does it sound like I am heading down the right path? I've read through the scotch documentation and am not making any headway using the tool. What I am trying to do is fire up Firefox, go to a web site, login to an application to verify the application is running, and then closedown Firefox. I am hoping that scotch will let me record what is going on within Firefox so I can use the information in the recording to develop a twill script which will do the exact same thing and let me monitor if the application is up and at least responding to login attempts. Is that one of the ways to utilize the scotch recorder? I'm stuck trying to figure out how to fire up the scotch recorder to do this. One of the scotch recipes seems to point me in the right direction with giving directions for running a web proxy, recording WSGI traffic, and displaying your recording but I'm really not sure what I do with the lines of code the recipe provides. Do I just fire up the Python interpreter and cut/paste this code into the interpreter? How do I get this recorder running, go through my transactions in Firefox, and then view what was recorded. I am not finding the documentation terribly useful for a new user. Any advice would be appreciated. Mart
