Hi George,

Many Thanks for your answer, I think this is exactly what I am looking for. Since I am a newbie to webtest, I still seem to miss the link between how to retrieve the "step" variable in your example from my groovy code? Assuming that I am in a groovy test class, and extending from grails.util.WebTest class, how would I access webtest "step"?.

Thanks,
Niko

Niko,

I am not completely sure what you are asking for.

Here is one way to get things into a Groovy script from a Webtest "step". The process may be reversible also, that is, one may be able to add to the two Property (Map) objects in the Groovy code; but I have not tried that as yet.

// = = ======================================================================
// Get the two types of properties set in the Webtest.
// = = ====================================================================== def antProperties = step.getWebtestProperties( step.PROPERTY_TYPE_ANT ) ; def dynamicProperties = step.getWebtestProperties( step.PROPERTY_TYPE_DYNAMIC ) ; // = = ======================================================================

"dynamic" == Webtest Property.

They are two separate domains so you either have to know which you want or try both.

Once you have the Maps, just use them like any Java Map. That is, extract your Ant property or Webtest property like this;

 def antPropertyOfInterest =
     antProperties.get( 'ant.property.of.interest.name' ) ;

 def dynamicPropertyOfInterest =
     dynamicProperties.get( 'dynamic.property.of.interest.name' ) ;

Hope that helps a bit,
George

Hi Niko,

Another question is (for may be including in the documentation), how to
define more than one test suites (beside the standard
webtest/tests/TestSuite.groovy) and how to invoke them.

just search for "Any public interest in separating tests by groups?" in the "grails user" mailing list.

There is a patch which may solve your problem.

I hope, it will be applied to a coming grails version.


Best regards
Marc Pompl

RE: [Webtest] Canoo + Grails







Hi Dierk, and all,

webtest embedded into the grails development process is absolutely great
to use. Thanks very much for your groovy-fication!

The only thing I wonder is, how one would get out the webtest step
properties into the groovy script for further processing. I am sure there
is a groovy way to interact between webtest properties and groovy
variables, but cannot find it.

Another question is (for may be including in the documentation), how to
define more than one test suites (beside the standard
webtest/tests/TestSuite.groovy) and how to invoke them.

Cheers,
Niko

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

| 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.
