[Webtest] How To Debug Tests

[Bit Byter]

Hi WebTesters,

I'm new to Canoo WebTest and just trying to get it run with Maven 1.1b2. So=
 I installed the Maven WebTest Plugin from http://maven-plugins.sourceforge=
.net/maven-webtest-plugin/downloads.html.

I'm trying to run an adapted version of the simple SampleTest.xml from the =
Canoo website:


<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE project [
      <!ENTITY taskdef                                     SYSTEM "taskdef.=
xml">
]>
<project name=3D"SimpleTest" basedir=3D"." default=3D"main">

   &taskdef;

   <target name=3D"main">
      <webtest name=3D"myTest">
         <config host=3D"127.0.0.1" port=3D"9090" protocol=3D"http" basepat=
h=3D"/myapp" />
         <steps>
            <invoke description=3D"get Login Page" url=3D"login" method=3D"=
GET"/>
            <verifyTitle description=3D"we should see the login title" text=
=3D"Login Page" />
         </steps>
      </webtest>
   </target>
</project>


The included "taskdef" entity looks like this:

<taskdef file=3D"${webtest.home}/webtestTaskdefs.properties">
    <classpath>
        <fileset dir=3D"${webtest.home}">
            <include name=3D"lib/*.jar"/>
            <include name=3D"lib/base/*.jar"/>
        </fileset>
        <pathelement path=3D"${webtest.home}/lib"/>
    </classpath>
</taskdef>


Now when I try to run the test by executing "maven webtest:test" I get the =
following error:

webtest:test:
    [java] Buildfile: D:\webtest\SimpleTest.xml
    [java] Trying to override old definition of task sleep
    [java]
    [java] main:
    [java]
    [java] BUILD FAILED
    [java] D:\webtest\SimpleTest.xml:11: Canoo Webtest: R_1304.
    [java] Test failed.
    [java] Test step invoke (D:\webtest\SimpleTest.xml:14: )  named "get Lo=
gin Page" failed with message "Step[invoke "get
 Login Page" (1/2)]: HTTP error 404, at: invoke"
    [java]
    [java] Total time: 8 seconds


I've verified that the web server is running and the configured URL is avai=
lable by requesting it successfully in a browser. Thus I assume the test is=
 trying request a different website.

The received error message does not really help to find the error. I've tri=
ed enabling all the loggers in log4j.properties, but unfortunately those se=
em not to work.

So how to debug such an error? Is there a possibility to configure an HTTP =
tunnel as WebTest proxy? Any help is appreciated!
