Marc, thank you for the response - got it working beautifully. I've
noticed that while the Canoo documentation is fairly thorough with the
exception of the Grails portion and even Grails skips around the
functional testing portion as well.
1. Are there any sites or guides that give a good overview of custom
functional testing for Webtests in Grails?
2. This is just to confirm something: the XML patterns for specifying the
tests are not available with the Grails plugin - correct? If I create my
tests within the XML using definitions and entity replacements - I would
then need to change those tests to use the method described below?

Re: [Webtest] Canoo + Grails
Hi,
the mailing list is fully correct.
In Grails you can just extract common step sequences in utility methods
like
// Utility.groovy
class Utility
{
doLogin(ant)
{
ant.group(description: 'perform login')
{
invoke "http://..."
}
}
}
// SomeTest.groovy
import static Utility.*
...
webtest('some test')
{
doLogin(ant)
...
}
(my mailer still doesn't compile, syntax error are possible ;-))
When you're utility methods are located directly in your class (or in
some parent class), you don't need to pass ant as parameter.
Cheers,
Marc.
