setSelectField crashes app when trying to select an <option> tag that has no
value attribute
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Key: WT-69 URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-69 Project: WebTest Type: Bug Versions: 1.7 Reporter: Jake Newren Assignee: Paul King Fix For: 1.7

When attempting to process a web page, WebTest crashes when it comes to an
<option> tag that has no value attribute. Apparently htmlunit is unable to
handle an <option> tag without an accompanying value attribute. When attempting
to setSelectField it threw this exception: [testSpec] (steps.Step 181 ) Start Step: setselectfield "" (22/52) [testSpec] (steps.Step 374 ) Exception thrown from this class:
