Thanks, Mittie, I will do that from now on. I've added a line to the taskdef so it will search lib/base too (I hope it searches them in the order of the lines in the taskdef!)

Hi Lisa,
this is all my fault :-)
The purpose of this move is to make HtmlUnit Patches possible.
To that end we need to ensure that the *Patch*.jars are loaded _before_ the "base" HtmlUnit.jar.
So for upgrading to the latest version you best:
- delete your old lib dir and install the newer ones in that dir
- adapt your taskdef according to what you find in the selftest/config
cheers
Mittie

Subject: [Webtest] HtmlUnit jar file and classpath
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
