[Webtest] Anyone using webtest with maven2 ?

Thu, 10 Aug 2006 08:41:43 +0200

Hi there

If you're using Maven 2.0 you can't use the the mentioned WebTest plugin, since it is for Maven 1.x (see http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-webtest-plugin/index.html and http://maven.apache.org/maven1.html#m1-plugins).

To use WebTest from within Maven 2.0, you can use the maven-antrun-plugin (http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-antrun-plugin/). You'll call your WebTest files from Maven 2.0, which basically means, that you call an Ant build file from Maven 2.0.

You'll have to define in which Maven 2.0 phase you would like to call it, but most probably you would bind it to 'test' (see http://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle=
.html).

Best regards,
Tomi

The version of WebTest included at www.ibiblio.org/maven2/webtest/webtest
is quite old. A more recent version is included in the Maven 1.0.2 plugin:

http://maven-plugins.sourceforge.net/maven-webtest-plugin/downloads.html

If that is of any use.

Cheers, Paul.
