Hi! I'm evaluating Webtest+Groovy as a test tool for our company and got stuck at 2 points: 1) How can I access a response that is the result of a javascript executed on loading a page? As I have experienced, the following steps refer to the initial page but ignore the afterwards loaded document, which is an excel sheet that is opend in a new unnamed window. 2) For the many groovy-steps I needed in my Webtest-XML I also tried the option to write a groovy script that calls webtest tasks, as suggested in the "Groovy Testing" article (http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/groovyTesting.html). The problem is that this example doesn't mention how to retrieve the response/document of the previously executed step for direct access in Groovy. I tried several imaginable ways but all failed, the main problem being that adding steps with the AntBuilder doesn't execute them right away, but the Groovy script between these step additions is executed in the first pass, resulting in a null value returned by the context-Property of a step, like this: ... steps() { def context = invoke('someUrl').context def table = context.currentResponse.documentElement.getHtmlElementById('someTable') //-> NPE because context is null at this point ... }
I would very much welcome any ideas on these issues. Regards Torsten PS: Currently the codehaus-website is unreachable (at least for me), so I cannot refer to the Grails-examples that have been mentioned in other postings which could be helpful for my second question. _______________________________________________ WebTest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canoo.com/mailman/listinfo/webtest
