I'm sure this is an ignorant question.  But I've asked worse. ;->

When I first installed WebTest, I had to put every jar file that WebTest uses in my classpath on my Windows machine to get it to work (whether I should need to do this, I don't know).  However, when we installed WebTest on our build machine (Linux), nobody set up a classpath for it, just the webtesthome environment variable, and it worked fine.

I've been running the HtmlUnit-based WebTest on my machine for a couple of weeks now.  Today we installed it (build 570) on our build machine.  When we tried to run a WebTest script, it failed because it couldn't find the HtmlUnit jar file.  This jar file is now in the canoo/lib/base directory.  But for some reason, it got this error: com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/ElementNotFoundException

In some earlier build of WebTest with HtmlUnit (eg. build 560) there were HtmlUnit jar files in the canoo/lib directory.  I still had those, because I'm just extracting the new builds out to my machine without deleting anything.  So it kept working on my machine.  I moved them out, so I only had the HtmlUnit jar file in canoo/lib/base, and got the same failure.

We moved the HtmlUnit jar file (actual name is HtmlUnit-2004-11-19.jar) to the canoo/lib directory on our build machine to get it to work. 

My questions are:
Should we have an entry in the Classpath for the HtmlUnit jar file? 

If not, how do we get it to look in the canoo/lib/base directory for it, instead of canoo/lib?

If we do need it in the Classpath, does that mean we have to update the Classpath every time the name changes (since there’s a date stamp in the name, I assume it will change sometime)?

Thanks,
Lisa
