[Webtest] Using storeregex to set properties

[Charles Massey]

Hi,

Is there a way to use dynamic properties in another target that are assigned
by storeregex 

I would like to use the storeregex task to extract a registration number so
that I can save it in my database.  My problem is that even through the logs
say that the value has been assigned to the dynamic property successfully,
but I can't access it outside the <testSpec>.  Is there a way to assign the
dynamic propery value to a global property?

I was able to verify that 'foo' indeed is getting set.

 [testSpec] Setting dynamic property <foo> to <ransitional>

I imagine that the dynamic property syntax ( #{foo} ) is special to Canoo.
Why not use standard property values?  (i.e. ${foo} to access foo's value).

Can someone help me with this?  This means either I would like to be able to
use #{foo} outside of the <testSpec> or being able to set the dynamic
property #{foo} to a property that I can use in another target.

Thanks,
Charles

Example script follows:


    <target name="register">
        <testSpec name="Register new user">
            &sharedConfiguration;
            <steps>
                <invoke
                    stepid="Registration page"
                    url="p.tf/registration"/>
                <verifytitle
                    stepid="Registration page reached"
                    text="Classmates - Registration"/>

                <storeregex
                    stepid="Extract 'ransitional'"
                    text="([a-z]+)"
                    group="0"
                    property="foo" />
            </steps>
        </testSpec>
    </target>

    <target name="storeRegex">
        <!-- sql is used here to store the regex values from storeregex -->
    </target>

    <target name="printRegex" depends="register">
        <echo message="foo = #{foo}"/>
        <echo message="foo = ${foo}"/>
    </target>


The output from printRegex is:

printRegex:
     [echo] how many = #{howmany}
Property ${howmany} has not been set
     [echo] how many = ${howmany}
