I've been trying to use a repeat step to check format in several tables
(ie, get the table with xpath, then parse multiple cells). I ran into a
problem whenever I had more steps inside the repeat step than the number
of iterations of the repeat loop. Originally I figured it was just xml
syntax, so I created a couple very simple test cases and had the same
problem. Basically if you have the repeat step iterate n times, if
there are n+1 or greater number of steps inside the loop, it will insert
an extra unexecuted step for each extra step. I can make a workaround
by just throwing all my steps in a <group> tag, but that's clumsy. It
doesn't seem to be documented anywhere and I was curious if I'm missing
a solution.
For example:
<repeat count="1">
<verifyText text="td" />
<verifyText text="tr" />
<echo>#{count}</echo>
</repeat>
Returned:
<step>
<parameter name="count" value="1"/>
<parameter name="taskName" value="repeat"/>
<result>
<completed duration="10"/>
</result>
<step>
<parameter name="description" value="Iteration 0"/>
<parameter name="taskName" value="iteration
wrapper"/>
<result>
<completed duration="0"/>
</result>
<step>
<parameter name="taskName" value="verifyText"/>
<parameter name="text" value="td"/>
<result>
<completed duration="0"/>
</result>
</step>
<step>
<parameter name="taskName" value="verifyText"/>
<parameter name="text" value="tr"/>
<result>
<completed duration="0"/>
</result>
</step>
<step>
<parameter name="nested text" value="0"/>
<parameter name="taskName" value="echo"/>
<result>
<completed duration="0"/>
</result>
</step>
</step>
<step>
<parameter name="taskName" value="verifyText"/>
<parameter name="text" value="tr"/>
<result>
<notexecuted duration="0"/>
</result>
</step>
<step>
<parameter name="nested text" value="#{count}"/>
<parameter name="taskName" value="echo"/>
<result>
<notexecuted duration="0"/>
</result>
</step>
</step>
It doesn't interrupt the test or cause it to fail, but it's still rather
annoying.
Thanks,
