[Webtest] Question about moving Webtest early release to current release?

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi,

the messages from parser are only informative and not allways very good. These parser errors are not the cause of the 
failing tests. You have to look at the step that fails and the associated messages to find the origin of the problem.
