Re: [Webtest] How to print/log in WebTest? + dbUnit to Webtest traverse update

[Rob Manthey]

Not sure if this answers your question but here's a patch from what I'm working on - it extracts some values from a dbUnit xml file and stores them in WebtestProperties and then uses them to test rendered content in the webpage.  As an aside, I logged to a local file (which is what you were asking about), as I had no luck getting diagnostic feedback from either echo or print. my steps: <groovy>     def logFile = new File('./webtest.log')     logFile.append("\nTest Start\n")         def testData = new XmlParser().parse( new File('../../config/InHouseTesting.xml') )         def customerId = 1001         def testCustomer = testData.customerDetails.find{it['@customerID']==customerId}     def testCustomerId = testCustomer.'@customerID'     def testCustomerName = testCustomer.'@customerName'     logFile.append("${testCustomerId} - ${testCustomerName}")     // I can't get groovy's print to appear - some classpath dilemma no doubt     // print "${testCustomerId} - ${testCustomerName}"         step.setWebtestProperty('test_customer_id', testCustomerId)     step.setWebtestProperty('test_customer_name', testCustomerName)            logFile.append("\nTest End\n") </groovy> <verifyProperty name="test_customer_id" text="1001" /> <verifyProperty name="test_customer_name" text="Canoo WebTest Customer 1" /> <verifyText description="dbUnit text must be present in the current webpage"    text="#{test_customer_name}" />    <!-- these don't render the properties properly - I don't know why not? --> <echo message="Test Customer Name = ${test_customer_name}" /> <echo message="Test Customer Name = #{test_customer_name}" /> Here's a sample chopped down from the dbUnit file (standard dbUnit file that loads xml into db for testing) <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?> <dataset> <customerDetails customerID="1001" customerName="Canoo WebTest Customer 1" contactName="Contact Name 1" contactAddress="1 Address St" />  <customerDetails customerID="1002" customerName="Canoo WebTest Customer 2" contactName="Contact Name 2" contactAddress="2 Address St" /> <customerDetails customerID="1003" customerName="Canoo WebTest Customer 3" contactName="Contact Name 3" contactAddress="3 Address St" />  <customerDetails customerID="1004" customerName="Canoo WebTest Customer 4" contactName="Contact Name 4" contactAddress="4 Address St" /> <userDetails username="webtest01" customerID="1001" fullName="WebTest User" userTypeSystem="user" /> <userDetails username="webtest02" customerID="1001" fullName="WebTest Administrator" userTypeSystem="administrator" /> <siteDetails siteID="1001" customerID="1001" siteName="Site 1001" /> <siteDetails siteID="1002" customerID="1001" siteName="Site 1002" /> <siteDetails siteID="1003" customerID="1001" siteName="Site 1003" /> </dataset> on 13/07/06 01:46 [EMAIL PROTECTED] said the following: Hello,   I've done some poking around on the site but haven't found an answer to this question ...   I'm using storeXPath to save a value into a property. Now, how to I print/log it in an output file? I've seen reference that such logging is possible.   Thanks in advance Doug Check out AOL.com today. Breaking news, video search, pictures, email and IM.
