So where should I put 

<option name="ThrowExceptionOnScriptError" value="false"/>

I tried put it in webtest.xml in <target name="wt.testInWork"...

But that didn't work... under which tag should I put it?

We put the config info in webtest.xml.  I believe in the default
webtest.xml there are the below properties set:

  <property name="wt.config.resultpath" location="results"/>
  <property name="wt.config.saveresponse" value="true"/>
  <property name="wt.config.summary" value="true"/>
  <property name="wt.config.haltonerror" value="false"/>
  <property name="wt.config.haltonfailure" value="false"/>

And you can probably just add <property name="wt.config.host"
value="value of your host"/> to that list.  We have some extra targets
where we define this and some other properties based on if we are using
ssl or not which is why I can't be 100% certain this will work.  We also
store the value of the host in an external properties file and just call
it as ${host} so we can change the machine it is run against easily
without opening any webtest files.

We put our config stuff in a separate file, and use !ENTITY to include
it, but we are really old school WebTest, I haven't tried that macro
thing that is available now.
<!DOCTYPE project SYSTEM "file:../dtd/WebTest.dtd" [
<!ENTITY config                SYSTEM "file:../modules/config.xml">
...
<project ...
  <target...
    <testSpec ...
      &config;

I'd actually like to be able to turn that option off only for certain
tests, but not sure how to do that other than doing what you are doing.

Hi,

How can I set a config setting for an entire project, instead for one
wbtest at a time?

At the moment I'm doing something like:

<target name="wt.testInWork">

    <webtest name="test1">

      <config>  

        <option name="ThrowExceptionOnScriptError" value="false"/>

      </config>

            ....the test itself

    </webtest>

    <webtest name="test2">

      <config>  

        <option name="ThrowExceptionOnScriptError" value="false"/>

      </config>

            ....the test itself

    </webtest>

     Etc...

</target>

 

How can I define the config only once?
