[Webtest] Browser support in Webtest/HTMLUnit

Fri, 6 May 2005 20:09:37 +0530

Hi,

Has anyone ran their scripts simulating Netscape as a browser?

When I am trying to playback the script even for Netscape as a browser it s=
till shows me that the browser is IE!

I have a sample HTML file whose source is
<html>
<head>
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=3D"JavaScript">
function openWindow()
{
    alert("Browser userAgent =3D " + navigator.userAgent);
    if(document.layers)
    {
        alert("Netscape browser");
    }
    else if(document.all)
    {
        alert("Internet Explorer");
    }
}
</SCRIPT>
</head>
<body>
<FORM METHOD=3D"POST" name=3D"frmName">
<input type=3D"button" name=3D"hi" value =3D "ClickMe" onclick=3D"openWindo=
w();">
</FORM>
</body>
</html>

Webtest script as follows.
<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8" ?>

<project name=3D"CheckBrowser" basedir=3D"." default=3D"main">
<property name=3D"webtest.home" value=3D"${basedir}"/>
<taskdef file=3D"${webtest.home}/webtestTaskdefs.properties">
<classpath>
<fileset dir=3D"${webtest.home}" includes=3D"**/lib/*.jar"/>
<fileset dir=3D"${webtest.home}/lib" includes=3D"/*.jar"/>
<fileset dir=3D"${webtest.home}/lib" includes=3D"**/optional/*.jar"/>
<fileset dir=3D"${webtest.home}/lib" includes=3D"**/build/*.jar"/>
</classpath>
</taskdef>
<target name=3D"main">
<testSpec name=3D"webtest test number 1">
  <config
    host=3D"localhost"
    port=3D"8080"
    protocol=3D"http"
    basepath=3D"/"
    summary=3D"true"
    saveresponse=3D"true"
    resultpath=3D"results"
    resultfile=3D"TestResults.xml"
  >
  <header name=3D"User-Agent" value=3D"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT =
5.0; en-US;rv:0.9.4.1) Gecko/20020508 Netscape6/6.2.3"/>
  <!--<header name=3D"User-Agent" value=3D"4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windo=
ws 98)"/>-->

  </config>
  <steps>
    <invoke url=3D"CheckBrowser.html" stepid=3D""/>
    <clickbutton label=3D"ClickMe" stepid=3D"Click the button" />
  </steps>
</testSpec>

</target>
</project>

When I run the above script in debug mode I get Warnings for two alert mess=
ages. Namely:
[testSpec]  WARN (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.host.Window) - w=
indow.alert("Browser userAgent =3D Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0b; Wind=
ows 98)") no alert handler installed
[testSpec]  WARN (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.javascript.host.Window) - w=
indow.alert("Internet Explorer") no alert handler installed

The second alert message is always window.alert("Internet Explorer") even i=
f I have set the User-Agent in the header as Netscape. In the debug mode it=
 shows that the browser being used is Netscape.

Can someone throw some light on this.

I am using release 1.7 (build 6xx) and htmlunit is of 03 Jan 2005.

My aim is to have one script and make it run as if the browser is IE and al=
so Netscape. So that with the help of the scripts I can easily check cross =
browser compatibility of my application. Any solutions or ideas on this?

Thanks.
Regards,
