Hi David,
I use test cases that extend WebTest and it all works fine for me using
1.1.5.1
e.g.
class MyTestCase extends WebTest{
def login(){
invoke('/')
setInputField name:'username', value:'testuser'
....
}
}
I agree that your parents will get quite large. The only other option is to
put it in a helper class and somehow pass in a reference to the current ant
builder (from WebTest.ant)
cheers
Lee
