Would still love to hear if anyone is still successfully running Groovy webtests from Eclipse without getting the error I described below. And if so, what versions you're using?
Marc, should I file a bug and if so, would you think it would be with WebTest or HtmlUnit? Thanks, Lynn ________________________________ Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2010 10:20 AM To: '[email protected]' Subject: [Webtest] Can't get GoogleWebtestTest to run from Eclipse IDE I wanted to introduce the latest webtest into our project specifically to write webtests in groovy and be able to run them individually from the IDE. I started with the latest R1805. Followed the instructions on Marc's blog: http://mguillem.wordpress.com/2009/04/30/webtest-with-groovy-maven-and-eclipse/ After putting in numerous hours getting over a variety of hurdles (like switching to junit 4, and making my own build of 1805 with the patch suggested in WT-530 (http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-530?page=history) to get over webtest from the IDE not liking to load the webtest jar from a repository path that has spaces in it, I eventually stalled out with the following error being thrown. (Marc, any reason why that patch from March 2010 for WT-530 can't be made for the next release?) I put the standard tests from wt.createProject in and was trying to get it going using those before writing my own tests. However when I run the GroovyWebtestTest.groovy as a Junit test from eclipse it fails with: I'm just putting the most relevant part of the stack trace here because the list keeps rejecting my post as "too long". Will put complete stack trace in an accompanying post. --- Nested Exception --- java.lang.NullPointerException at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.host.Event.<init>(Event.java:273) at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage.executeEventHandlersIfNeeded(HtmlPage.java:1143) at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.html.HtmlPage.isOnbeforeunloadAccepted(HtmlPage.java:2060) at com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.TopLevelWindow.close(TopLevelWindow.java:113) at com.canoo.webtest.engine.WebClientContext.destroy(WebClientContext.java:332) at com.canoo.webtest.ant.WebtestTask.execute(WebtestTask.java:232) ... I searched a good bit for any info/bug-reports/work-arounds for this problem that seems to be with htmlunit when being run from in the IDE, but although I found a complaint from one guy saying he gets this problem intermittently with htmlunit 2.7 and 2.8-SNAPSHOT here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=448266&aid=2983573&group_id=47038 but see no resolution or action on it so far and for me it isn't intermittent. And found something possibly similar here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=448266&aid=2923141&group_id=47038 but no resolution. I even decided to go back to the WebTest 3.0 release (R1758) and then swapped out the htmlunit 2.4 that was a dependency with that to htmlunit 2.6 to get over the failures due to google changing their js and after doing this I still get the same exact error as shown above. Can anyone else let me know if they have the setup described at the blog working without getting the error shown above?
