We've gone pure the pure groovy approach as well. Would thoroughly
recommend it. I also got started with Marc Guillemot's blog @ http://mguillem.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/webtest-with-groovy-maven-and-eclipse/
(I think it's the same as the one link on dzone) - excellent
starting point.
If you're looking for an example of using groovy inside a groovy step
you can do the following:
class ExampleTest extends WebtestCase {
void test() {
webtest("ExampleTest") {
config(host:"blog.bemoko.com",port:80,haltonfailure:false)
invoke "/2009/07/01/automated-mobile-web-testing-with-canoo-
webtest-were-impressed/"
verifyTitle "Automated Mobile Web Testing with Canoo Webtest -
we're impressed | bemoko's mobile web"
groovy {
println
step.context.currentResponse.webResponse.contentAsString
assert 1==1 : "1 should equal 1"
assert 1==2 : "1 does not equal 2"
}
}
}
}
the second assert will cause a failure just to show you what a failure
looks like. Although exceptions in groovy steps aren't reported
clearly, they are marked as failures and if you follow the stack trace
you can see what went wrong. You can also interact with underlying
Canoo (and subsequently HtmlUnit) APIs as I've done in the example
above to dump the content. We use this approach to do things like
markup validation and hook into our own Java APIs.
Good luck with getting it all working, once you have it set up you
won't look back. Not sure about your JavaScript question, but if
you've got other questions fire them in ...

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.
