Hi Stefan,

What I showed was about properties set while processing steps.
For example, a value stored by
storeXPath(xpath:'//xpath', property:"xpathprop")
will appear with

task.dynamicProperties.each {key, value -> println key + " : " +
value}

as
xpathprop : xpathvalue

But I see that's not what interests you. So I took a big breath and I 
dived deep into the sources.
I discovered wonderful things, and I'm very happy that things have been 
done !!
Thanks to you

In order to access the results, you can proceed by calling the static 
method
def context = WebtestTask.getThreadContext()
and then
context.getCurrentResponse().asXml() for example (the important thing is 
to have CurrentResponse)

I didn't manage to do that !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Because of 
dependencies problem between my Eclipse projects,
I didn't manage to import WebtestTask.

So I found a different method :

      def webtest

      ant.getAntProject().taskFinished = {buildEvent -> def task = 
buildEvent.task
                                                          println "Task 
finished ............ $task.taskType"
                                                          if 
(task.taskType == 'invoke'){
                                                              println 
"**********************************************************************************"
                                                              def page = 
webtest.getStepSequence().getContext().getCurrentResponse().asXml()
                                                              println page
                                                              println 
"**********************************************************************************"
                                                          }
                                           }

      ant.getAntProject().taskStarted = { buildEvent ->  def task = 
buildEvent.task
                                                           println "Task 
started ............ $task.taskType"
                                                           if 
(task.taskType == 'testSpec'){
                                                              webtest = task

                                                              }
                                          }
It's very very very bad, I know...

If you don't need to "catch" this outside of the steps execution, it's 
pretty simpler :
you just need to have a groovy() step with a
def response = step.getContext().getCurrentResponse()
(or def response = step.context.currentResponse in a "groovier" way)

I think that most of the cases can be handled with a groovy() step... 
but it could be precious to catch response out of the execute() method
of the steps

Hope that helps

thanks for this, but

So do you have an idea how to get to all the information's stored during

    <pre wrap="">Hi,

If I understand what you want, I can share a workaround I found when 
using steps. Actually, I have some groovy code that call
webtest steps with ant, with a &lt;groovy&gt; step with some groovy code 
(That's a bit weird, but it
was to test if this kind of thing works).  I wanted to share variables 
between my groovy code and
the groovy step, for example.

you can do something like this before calling your ant.testSpec :

      ant.getAntProject().taskFinished = {buildEvent -&gt; def task = 
buildEvent.task
                                                          println "Task 
finished ............ $task.taskType"
                                                          if 
(task.taskType == 'testSpec'){

//that's fired when testSpec is finished, but you can

// do that for all your steps

//an example of what you can do :

// you get all the properties defined in your tests

// useful when you want to feed a database, for instance

task.dynamicProperties.each {key, value -&gt; println key + " : " + value}  

                                                          }
                                           }

      ant.getAntProject().taskStarted = { buildEvent -&gt;  def task = 
buildEvent.task
                                                           println "Task 
started ............ $task.taskType" }     

If you want to get the results, I saw there was a method called 
getResultBuilderListener() to get the listener which
contains the results. I didn't try but it could be a way to get that 
with task.builderListener.previousResponse or something
like that

It's really possible that a much simpler way exists, but I'm pretty new 
to webtest and I don't know all the possibilities. So
i don't claim that i hold the only truth ;-)
