Hi Peter,
what about following:
------------
1- you have to get a reference to the project used by the AntBuilder.
Sadly AntBuilder.getProject() is protected (should probably be changed).
The easiest way currently is probably to define the ant property again
and provide it your own Project instance
def project = new Project()
ant = new AntBuilder(project)
2- place your closure as reference into the project
def c = {
HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean factoryBean = new
HttpInvokerProxyFactoryBean()
factoryBean.setServiceUrl(step.webtestProperties.ssUrl)
...
}
project.references['foo'] = c
3- in your webtest, get this reference - the closure - and execute it
ant.groovy("step.project.references['foo']()")
------------
I can imagine that this would be of general interest when using webtest
(or in fact simply ant) from AntBuilder and that a general helper like
that could make sense:
ant.doFromAnt { ... some code here ...}
with
doFromAnt = { closure ->
project.references['somekey'] = c // 'somekey' has to be computed with
a counter or something like that
ant.groovy { "step.project.references['somekey']()" }
}
Let me know if you play with this idea.
Cheers,
Marc.
