[Webtest] Maven Canoo WebTest Plugin: Problems while creating a test summary report with Build 454

["Göschl,Siegfried"]

Hi folks,

I'm currently migrating the Maven Canoo WebTest Plugin from build 277 to 454 and it works soo far. I got a simple testcase running and the response files (HTML files) are written. When generating the report I get the following error:

>>> START >>>

    [java]  [testSpec] 2004-07-21 10:15:06,171 [main] DEBUG com.meterware.httpunit.HttpWebResponse  - _responseCode = 200

<<< END <<<

I'm using the following configuration

>>> START >>>

      maven.webtest.config.host                 = localhost
      maven.webtest.config.port                 = 9005
      maven.webtest.config.protocol             = http
      maven.webtest.config.basepath             = dealerextranet/
      maven.webtest.config.summary              = true
      maven.webtest.config.saveresponse         = true
      maven.webtest.config.resultpath           = W:\work\webui\dealerextranet-Portal-Ear/target/webtest
      maven.webtest.config.resultfile           =
      maven.webtest.config.showhtmlparseroutput = true
      maven.webtest.config.haltonfailure        = false
      maven.webtest.config.haltonerror          = false
      maven.webtest.config.verbose              = true
      maven.webtest.config.autorefresh          = false

<<< END <<<


This looks like a SAXParseException caused by some extra text in an XML file. What I don't understand why writing a test report involves parsing an XML file. Anyone knows what is causing the behaviour or how to generate a stacktrace before I start full-scale and night-time debugging?!

Thanks in advance
