Thanks to everyone who helped me with this one. Indeed it was looking at some
other log4j.properties file. Our build.xml seems to be set up a little
differently than maybe was intended (nobody can remember why we set it up the
way we did), but I got this to work by adding a pathelement as shown in
classpath.xml. Now it gets the correct log4j.properties which has log level set
to info, which is what I wanted. Yay!

For the benefit of those who may have theirs set up similarly to ours, here is
what the taskdef looks like now in our build.xml: <target name="canoo-taskdef" depends="init"> <taskdef file="${webtesthome}/webtestTaskdefs.properties"> <classpath> <path refid="deployed-libraries-classpath"/> <path refid="testing-libraries-classpath"/> <pathelement location="${webtesthome}/lib"/> <fileset dir="${webtesthome}" includes="**/lib/*.jar"/> <fileset dir="${webtesthome}" includes="**/lib/runtime/*.jar"/> <fileset dir="${webtesthome}" includes="**/lib/plugins/**/*.jar"/> <pathelement path="${webtesthome}/lib"/> </classpath> </taskdef> </target>

The message level is set in log4j.properties which is set to INFO where you get all those messages. I don't know if you use build.zip (log4j.properties in the lib) or check out from the repository (log4j.properties is also in log4j folder under lib) or how you update your webtest.home directory (delete and add or update). You might want to verify that you are actually running the new version of Canoo by adding one of new test steps. I remember that I did have to change the path in the classpath.xml so that it looks at the right log4j.properties when i checked out from the repository a few months ago.

Hi, I just installed build 1393, the one I had installed previously is 1159. We are starting to write new tests in WebTest again (WATIR is nice but the tests are much more expensive to write and maintain, and WebTest seems to be much better with Javascript these days) and I wanted to get up to date.

So far, so good, but I noticed that I no longer get all that comforting information to my sysout that I got from build 1159. I've looked around in the archives and the doc but I can't find whether there is some option someplace to control that, or what? It doesn't really matter, I get output when it counts (when it fails) but somehow I liked it when more than just the test name scrolled by. thanks Lisa
