Hello,
I am trying to figure out the difference between these function.
When looking at the source code for reportLinks and reportSite, they are pretty much the same thing. They both pass parameters to the extension spider. However the results are some what different.
The file reportLinks writes give a header of depth, label, title, and href but doesn't tell if a link pass or not.
The file reportSite writes to give a header of depth and verify but only writes the depth leaving with column of 1 and 0s.
verifyLinks doesn't write to a file leaving the result file simply stating that the step have been executed.
my code to execute each is as follow;
<reportSite
depth="5" file= "testReportSite.txt"/><reportLinks
depth="5" file= "testReportLinks.txt"/><verifyLinks
depth="5" exclude"*//test" />My issues is that all three of these method doesn't seem to give me a report listing all the sites and whether it pass or not.
It also stops at the first broken links it runs into. This maybe an issue I can't solve as I have links visiting external sites which may have broken links our developer can't fix. I would like the step to continue to check the rest of the website for broken links.
verifyLinks also does not support Https protocol. Are there any work on enhancing this task?
Thanks,
Son
