Hi Kelcy,
Updating the xsl to add custom information into the generated reports is
actually pretty simple. The two problems with updating the file is your file
will not be kept in sync with the latest file from webtest and you need to
somehow distribute your customized xsl to all others running these tests.
We run our tests using the folder structure created by webtest's sample project
( > webtest -f path/to/webtest/home/webtest.xml wt.createProject ) and invoke
the tests using the build.xml created with modifications.
In the webtest project root directory, we created a resources folder and copied
WebTestReport.xsl from /path/to/webtest/home/resources. We modified the
build.xml to add the following line:
<!-- Define XSL Templates --> <property name="wt.htmlReports.xslt"
location="resources/WebTestReport.xsl"/>
We then altered our copied WebTestReport.xsl to create special output handling
for specific types of <testInfo> tags.
In WebTestReport.xsl, find the following block:
<!--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--> <!-- Special representation for the <testInfo .../> steps if any -->
<xsl:template name="displayTestInfo"> <xsl:if test=".//st...@taskname =
'testInfo']"> <div class="testInfo"> <div
class="testInfoTitle">Test info</div> <ul class="testInfo">
<xsl:for-each select=".//st...@taskname = 'testInfo']">
<li> <b>
<xsl:value-of select="paramet...@name = 'type']/@value"/>
<xsl:text>:&space;</xsl:text> </b>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(paramet...@name =
'info']/@value, paramet...@name = 'nested text']/@value)"/>
</li> </xsl:for-each> </ul>
</div> </xsl:if> </xsl:template>
Change it to the following and update as needed:
<!--
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
--> <!-- Special representation for the <testInfo .../> steps if any -->
<xsl:template name="displayTestInfo"> <xsl:if test=".//st...@taskname =
'testInfo']"> <div class="testInfo"> <div
class="testInfoTitle">Test info</div> <ul class="testInfo">
<xsl:for-each select=".//st...@taskname = 'testInfo']">
<xsl:choose> <xsl:when
test="paramet...@name = 'type' and @value='reportLink']"/>
<li> <b>
<xsl:value-of select="paramet...@name = 'type']/@value"/>
<xsl:text>:&space;</xsl:text>
</b>
<a>
<xsl:attribute name="href">
<xsl:value-of select="paramet...@name = 'info']/@value"/>
</xsl:attribute>
<xsl:text><xsl:value-of select="paramet...@name = 'nested
text']/@value"/></xsl:text> </a>
</li>
</xsl:when>
<xsl:otherwise> <li>
<b> <xsl:value-of
select="paramet...@name = 'type']/@value"/>
<xsl:text>:&space;</xsl:text> </b>
<xsl:value-of select="concat(paramet...@name =
'info']/@value, paramet...@name = 'nested text']/@value)"/>
</li> </xsl:otherwise>
</xsl:for-each> </ul> </div> </xsl:if>
</xsl:template>
Now, to add a link in your webtest, you would use the following line:
<testInfo type="reportLink" info="http://server:port/path/to/file";>Text to use
for the anchor tag</testInfo>

I do not see anything in this file which could control something like whether
or not html is honored in the report.

Re: [Webtest] Inserting (and honoring) html into WebTest report
Hi Kelcy,
the best way to adjust the html-report is to change the xsl-transformation.
you can do that by manipulation the WebtestReport.xsl-file
