Thanks Marc, with your tip in mind I did the test steps manually, and the results at both client side and server side were ok that a PDF file was received from server in a new browser window. If I manually close the new browser window before it has the PDF received, the server will yell out the same error message I had when I was running Canoo testing scripts. Is it possible that Canoo does not simulat "one web session shared via two browsers" right? Or using "clicklink" tag to test link with "target=_blank" attribute will need special config?

Hi,

webtest just checks what it becomes from server. An http error code causes the script to fail but it may happend that an exception occurs on the server side and no http error code is send according to the way the webapp is programmed/configured. Have you look at the generated test reports to check how the responses looks like?

Hi: My web application has a page that have a couple of reports links on it. Via clicking each of the links, it actually launches a new window and sends a report request to the server, and then the server will invoke a report servlet to generate the report at run time, and sends the report back to the new window in PDF as response. Following is the context that may help to see what I am asking for:

Part of html code for the page which has report links: <li><a href="/des/reports/meas_list" target="_blank">Puzzle View Measures</a></li>

My Canoo testing scripts: ... &login; <invoke stepid="go to printable report page" url="PrintableReports.do" /> <clicklink stepid="click on one report link" label="Puzzle View Measures"/> &logout; ...

When I run the testing script with ant, message shows like below:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL Total time: 7 seconds

But at server side, the same script will cause an exception:

30 Dec 2003 15:17:47 FATAL reports.ReportGenerateThread - The class "ca.gc.ccra_adrc.bsc.des.view.reports.ReportData" could not be instantiated java.lang.IllegalStateException: Session was invalidated at

com.evermind.server.http.EvermindHttpSession.setAttribute(EvermindHttpSessio

n.java:75) at

ca.gc.ccra_adrc.bsc.des.view.reports.ReportGenerateThread.run(ReportGenerate

Thread.java:91)

Obviously the report generating operation has been failed at server side (note: if I test it manually, it has no problem at server side).

Does anyone know why Canoo shows a successful message even there is a problem? What is the difference of request session between manually clicking on a link than using Canoo "clicklink"? If there is a report has been produced at server side, how could I verify that it has been sent to the new window in PDF successfully with Canoo?

Thanks,
