Hi, WebTest should provide some facilities to write tests as Groovy code. I have some ideas concerning this but nothing is ready.
In the mean time, you can have a look at how it is done in Grails-Webtest Plugin https://svn.codehaus.org/grails-plugins/grails-webtest/trunk/src/groovy/grails/util/WebTest.groovy Concerning your errors: you need to pass your ant object to the method ant.webtest(name:'groovy: Test Groovy Scripting at creation time'){ config(config_map) steps(){ login(ant) println('Finished tests ') } } ... login(ant) { ant.invoke(url:'https://xyz/abc.') ant.setInputField(name: "xx", value: "t50") ant.setInputField(name: "yy", value: "junk123") ant.clickButton(name: "zz") ant.verifyText(text: "AA") } for a better reporting you can use a group like this: login(ant) { ant.group(description: "perform login") { invoke(url:'https://xyz/abc.') setInputField(name: "xx", value: "t50") setInputField(name: "yy", value: "junk123") clickButton(name: "zz") verifyText(text: "AA") } } this allows to have the appropriate delegate defined and therefore you don't need to write ant.xxx for each step. I want to explore some tricks with delegates to think that some trick Cheers, Marc. -- Blog: http://mguillem.wordpress.com Harihara Vinayakaram wrote: > This is the groovy example I was using . > If I replace the login() method with the contents of that method then > things work . running the test as is gives an error > > > Caught: : Unexpected exception caught: org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException > at test.run(test.groovy:17) > at test.main(test.groovy) > > My groovy version is > Groovy Version: 1.5.1 JVM: > R27.3.0-106-83792-1.5.0_11-20070607-1618-linux-ia32 > > ############### > def ant = new AntBuilder() > def webtest_home = System.properties.'webtest.home' > > ant.taskdef(resource:'webtest.taskdef'){ > classpath(){ > pathelement(location:"$webtest_home/lib") > fileset(dir:"$webtest_home/lib", includes:"**/*.jar") > } > } > > > def config_map = [:] > ['autorefresh'].each{ > config_map[it] = System.properties['webtest.'+it] > } > > ant.testSpec(name:'groovy: Test Groovy Scripting at creation time'){ > config(config_map) > steps(){ > login() > println('Finished tests ') > } > } > > login() { > invoke(url:'https://xyz/abc.') > setInputField(name: "xx", value: "t50") > setInputField(name: "yy", value: "junk123") > clickButton(name: "zz") > verifyText(text: "AA") > } > > > > On Fri, Apr 25, 2008 at 7:21 AM, Harihara Vinayakaram <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> wrote: > > Hi > The samples provide how to organize tests into manageable entities > in a XML format .
