Hi David, The documentation of general Groovy usage with WebTest is under http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/groovyTesting.html which in turns points to http://grails.codehaus.org/Functional+Testing for the Grais specifics.
Could you give a list of topics that are not covered by these pages? much appreciated Dierk | -----Original Message----- | From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | Sent: Mittwoch, 2.

I've noticed that while the Canoo documentation | is fairly thorough with the exception of the Grails portion | and even Grails skips around the functional testing portion as well. | | 1. Are there any sites or guides that give a good overview of | custom functional testing for Webtests in Grails? | 2. This is just to confirm something: the XML patterns for | specifying the tests are not available with the Grails plugin | - correct? If I create my tests within the XML using | definitions and entity replacements - I would then need to | change those tests to use the method described below? | | | | | Marc Guillemot <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> | Sent by: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | 04/02/2008 05:34 AM | Please respond to | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | To | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | cc | Subject | Re: [Webtest] Canoo + Grails | | | | | | | Hi, | | the mailing list is fully correct. | | In Grails you can just extract common step sequences in | utility methods like | | // Utility.groovy | class Utility | { | doLogin(ant) | { | ant.group(description: 'perform login') | { | invoke "http://..."; | } | } | } | | // SomeTest.groovy | import static Utility.* | ... | webtest('some test') | { | doLogin(ant) | ... | } | | (my mailer still doesn't compile, syntax error are possible ;-)) | | When you're utility methods are located directly in your | class (or in some parent class), you don't need to pass ant | as parameter. | | Cheers, | Marc. | -- | Blog: http://mguillem.wordpress.com | | | [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: | > | > I have Grails running with Canoo Webtest plugin installed. | Life is great | > except my tests feel very repetitive.
