I had a look at the build number on the website and the one in the=
build.zip file and saw that the website is marked at 427 and the=
BuildNumber.txt file in the build.zip file says 428. I took that to mean=
that Canoo's server had "done it's job," so I downloaded the new build,=
re-tried my test and found that I no longer get the NullPointer Exception.=
However the test still fails with a message indicating that my page never=
changed. I wrote a quick little test that uses a single link using a=
javascript function that just calls window.navigate and this too fails in=
the same way, so I doubt that it's an issue with form population.
Just letting you know what I've seen in hopes that it will help with an=
eventual solution.
Regardz,
John

It appears that the change is now in the current build (427). Well at=
least I think it is. I no longer get the NullPointerException, but none=
of the form fields are submitted. I have a clickbutton test that submits=
the form and another that uses a clicklink to submit the form. When=
submitting the form using the <clickbutton> step, the test works. When=
using <clicklink>, it fails. Is it possible that only a partion of the=
changes made it into the build?=0D
Thanks,
Dan

As said, it has been integrated but no build has been performed since the=
integration. It just depends when Canoo's=0D
server does its job.
