Hi Vaughn, now I understand the problem. The dataDriven code is located in an other SVN repository and is incorporated in WebTest SVN tree using svn:external. The problem here is that these external dependencies don't get tagged together with the rest of the project. The only solution that I see here is to get the PropertyTable (the original name of dataDriven) by hand at the date of the 2.6 release. Perhaps did you already say it but I don't remember: why do you need to build by yourself? Aren't the archives ok?
Cheers, Marc. -- Web: http://www.efficient-webtesting.com Blog: http://mguillem.wordpress.com Vaughn Spurlin wrote: > Hi Marc, > > I still can't build R_1689, and would appreciate any advice.
