Niko,

I am not completely sure what you are asking for.

Here is one way to get things into a Groovy script from a Webtest =
"step". The process may be reversible also, that is, one may be able to =
add to the two Property (Map) objects in the Groovy code; but I have not =
tried that as yet.

// =

// Get the two types of properties set in the Webtest.

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
def antProperties =3D step.getWebtestProperties( step.PROPERTY_TYPE_ANT =
) ;
def dynamicProperties =3D step.getWebtestProperties( =
step.PROPERTY_TYPE_DYNAMIC ) ;
// =
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=

"dynamic" =3D=3D Webtest Property.

They are two separate domains so you either have to know which you want =
or try both.

Once you have the Maps, just use them like any Java Map. That is, =
extract your Ant property or Webtest property like this;

  def antPropertyOfInterest =3D
      antProperties.get( 'ant.property.of.interest.name' ) ;

  def dynamicPropertyOfInterest =3D
      dynamicProperties.get( 'dynamic.property.of.interest.name' ) ;

Hope that helps a bit,
George

just search for "Any public interest in separating tests by =A0groups?" =
in the "grails user" mailing list.=20

There is a patch which may solve your problem.=20

I hope, it will be applied to a coming grails version.=20

RE: [Webtest] Canoo + Grails

Hi Dierk, and all,

webtest embedded into the grails development process is absolutely great
to use. Thanks very much for your groovy-fication!

The only thing I wonder is, how one would get out the webtest step
properties into the groovy script for further processing. I am sure =
there
is a groovy way to interact between webtest properties and groovy
variables, but cannot find it.

Another question is (for may be including in the documentation), how to
define more than one test suites (beside the standard
webtest/tests/TestSuite.groovy) and how to invoke them.

Cheers,
Niko
