[Webtest] Configuring IfStep to fail when condition fails

[Marc Guillemot]

Hi Mart,

your wish seems not very logical to me: this is exactly the aim of
<ifStep><condition> not to fail when the condition fails.

Otherwise you just have to... put the content of <condition> outside of
the ifStep.

The better solution would probably to have the information on the user
to know what has to be done for him.

Marc.
