This one intrigued me and I first tried to use the <not> step around the <invoke..> and while this avoided the invoke failing I couldn't perform steps on the response as the failure reported to me was "No current response available! Is previous invoke missing?" which I found kinda amusing :) Then I went to the nabble page for the mailing list and searched "404 Not Found" and found Marc's reply to your exact question. http://www.nabble.com/How-to-test---verify-content-of-the-404-redirection-to12183398.html#a12183398 Nabble is your best friend :)

Hi, As part of a test, I invoke a valid URL that is supposed to produce a 404 page not found error page because the logged-in user does not have privileges to view the specified URL. When I run the test, webtest records the invoke as a failing test, and my 2 subsequent steps to verify the title text and page text of the expected 404 page are apparently ignored, and not run, or do not get the passing results they should get. The last two steps have yellow bars next to them on the results page. Is there a way for webtest to verify title text and page text of an expected 404 page produced by an expected and desired failed URL invoke step? I would welcome any advice anyone may provide: Thanks Much, David Klima:: FROM MY XML FILE: <invoke url="https://pretendurl.htm"; description="school case preparer cannot access FSA manage cycle page" /> <verifyTitle text="HTTP 404 Not Found" /> <verifyText text="The page cannot be found" /> END: FROM MY FILE:
