[Webtest] Unconditionally executing some steps

[Colin O'Brien]

Hi Alex,

You could use an ANT property file defined as shown below in your test
suite, this would then make all properties defined in this file available
globally to all your use cases...

<property file="${propertiesDir}\RB_TC468_Vanilla_TAP3.11_2.6.0.0.prop"/>

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Colin

Hi all,

First, to the developers, thank you for an excellent tool.

I'm running into the following difficulty using Webtest.  Each of my tests
has a few clean-up steps at the end, which delete data that was created
during the test.  If this data isn't removed, any tests that follow will
most likely fail due to conflicts.  The data involves IDs generated at
runtime, which I'm capturing, storing and using as dynamic properties.

My problem is that if any of the steps in the test fail, the cleanup steps
don't get executed.  The "haltonerror" and "haltonfailure" config options
don't seem to help, because on a failure the execution still stops during
the current webtest.  I've tried putting the cleanup steps in a separate
webtest and even in a separate target, but in these cases I can't seem to
access the values of the dynamic properties (unless I'm doing something
wrong?)

Does anyone know how I could get this to work?  It is the only problem I've
had with Webtest so far, but unfortunately it would effectively prevent us
from running test suites, since the first failure would indirectly cause all
the following tests to fail.

Thanks for any ideas.

Alex
