Hi Marc, I did try creating the demo project and doing what it does, but importing webtest.xml didn't change anything for me. Maybe I'm importing it in the wrong place. Does it go in the WebTest script itself, or in build.xml?
I did see the announcement in the news in the website. I'm not saying the doc is bad, I'm just saying I'm not smart enough to use the doc to make it work! I did comb through the mailing list but again, the explanations are not down to my level. If anyone has a sample they could send me that is more elaborate than the demo project, I'd be grateful. Especially someone who was doing it 'old style' and had to change it. thanks, Lisa On Dec 14, 2007 12:16 AM, Marc Guillemot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi Lisa, > > the changes in the result format is surely not enough documented. > Nevertheless it has been explained many times in the mailing list and is > announced in the news on the website. > > I recommend to use webtest.xml through the <import file="..."/> Ant > task.
