[Webtest] Re: AJAX (DWR) webtest Compatability

[Richard HALLIER]

Hi all,

I'm using the latest 1.7 version, build number =3D R_1041.
It is a simple ajax action (Taconite implementation), on a change of a =
combobox, another is populated depending the value selected in the first =
one.

Here is my webtest script :

<setselectfield name=3D"zone" optionIndex=3D"1"/>
<sleep description=3D"pause for 5 sec" seconds=3D"5"/>  // Waiting the =
ajax rendering of the second combobox
<clickButton description=3D"Submit the form" label=3D"${actions.add}" />

Here is the error :

"<unknown>" (8/12)

I can point out that manually everything works perfectly, so its clearly =
a problem with canoo web test/htmlunit.
I dont know if it's a problem of javascript support or a response =
changed to xml (response to the ajax action) ?

Have you any pointers?

Thank you a lot.
