Hi Paul, according to your remarks, I think that I haven't been as precise as I wanted:

(I have > always found it hard to use WTP to do XML validation and also have > relative paths to DTDs (e.g. ../dtds/webtest.dtd) and entity declarations > etc.) to some extend, yes. IDEs have a good support... when tests are "correctly" set up. For the rest, we will have to wait for WebTestClipse ;-) - definitions.xml -> definitions? ?? definitions.xml is a ant file generated from the content of the definitions directory > - BC issue: will a fixed structure make life a nightmare for existing > users? absolutely not. No necessity to move > - Is there a reason for macro declaration to be through entities and not > just imported directly? to keep code shorter, the files within definitions dir don't need to be full ant files (that could be imported) but only the macros themselves > - I am a big Groovy fan but we should support JRuby and JavaScript etc > scripts too Groovy was just an example. I meant anything that has to be executed once before the tests run. > - We need to make it easy for reports to be somewhere else (it is the > only directory not part of the source tree) yep. All locations will be defined with properties that can be "overriden" with other values > - We should think a bit about data-driven tests (would all that belong > in environment?) Maybe we could support 'data' too eventually. how would you use your content from the data dir? > I would be happy to help flesh out and trial something. thanks for the help. I have already nearly all ingredients, I just need to find time to mix them together ;-) Marc. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Propostion%3A-Standard-directory-layout-for-a-WebTest-project-tf1867243.html#a5103510 Sent from the WebTest forum at Nabble.com. _______________________________________________ WebTest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canoo.com/mailman/listinfo/webtest
