i am using groovy and no xml stuff. groovy feels much more like test scripting as this programming in xml horror.

it is quite straighforward to setup though i used maven (which gives you an easier ramp-up). it took me roughly half a day, the major problem i had was the configuration step inside groovy (see http://www.nabble.com/using-option-step-in-groovy-syntax-td24134316.html). the post also explains the handling of the java-script error message.

as a starter have a look at:
http://groovy.dzone.com/news/webtest-groovy-maven-and

don't know about eclipse, i am using fantastic IntelliJ IDEA which has great groovy support and IDE integration was smoothly.

Hi, my name is David
I work for John Deere Agri Services and I am a member of development team that is building business solutions for the agricultural industry. I am , more specifically, a part of the QA group. Not a lot of programming experience myself but have programmers available to me although their time is limitted.
This year our development group decided to give Canoo Webtest a try.
I have become familiar with Canoo Webtest and have been able to write automated test scripts. We as a team have had some success but have run into a few problems that have limitted what we can do with Canoo Webtest. I am hoping to get a little direction from someone that has experience with Canoo Webtest.
Problem #1
Javascript errors - Controls that are incorporated to some of our webpages that are written in javascript cause errors when running the scripts and prevent us from saving pages.
The error messages look like this:
JavaScript error loading page _https://eaqa.jdas.deere.com/Base/Home.aspx?tabcode=HOME&bppik=1_ <https://eaqa.jdas.deere.com/Base/Home.aspx?tabcode=HOME&bppik=1>
: TypeError: Cannot find function extend in object function Object()
{ [native code for Object.Object, arity=1] } .
(_https://eaqa.jdas.deere.com/ajaxpro/Jdas.Applications.ExtendAg.Base.UI.Pages_
.Home,Jdas.Applications.ExtendAg.Base.UI.ashx#8)
Problem #2
In attempting to incorporate groovy script into our scripts. Groovy code doesn’t seem to work.
Eclipse is our IDE , btw .
Is there a simple example of a Canoo webtest script that incorporates the <groovy> tags with simple groovy code that will produce some results that I can use to verify that I have everything working properly (somewhere out on the internet)? The example on the canoo site didn’t work as is. Im not sure my configuration is correct in Eclipse.I had to manually add the plugin using a zip file because the software update feature didn’t work.
Can you refer me to any documentation that might get me started
Im not even sure this is the right approach. Is Canoo Webtest commonly used this way or is it better to right groovy scripts that refer to Canoo webtest commands?
Any help would be appreciated.
