Hi,

I've just won an hard battle against ant to make my custom tasks working. Maybe the results could interest someone (or get integrated in the Troubleshooting page).

I got each time the error like:

file:E:/EWorkspace/Junetz/web-app/WEB-INF/src/webtests/build.xml:58: Task must be of type "Step": zkystorexpath at file:E:/EWorkspace/Junetz/web-app/WEB-INF/src/webtests/front/testN avLinksBot tom.xml:25: is of type org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement

although my tasks extend Step.

The cause of the problem was the class loader: my tasks had to be loaded with the same class loader as the canoo tasks.

Now my definitions look like this (and this works perfect):

<path id="webtests.classpath"> <fileset dir="${webtests.canoohome}" includes="**/lib/*.jar"/> <pathelement path="${myWebtestTasks}"/> </path>

<taskdef file="${webtests.canoohome}/webtestTaskdefs.properties" loaderRef="toto" classpathref="webtests.classpath"/>

<taskdef resource="de/internetzky/webtests/extension/webtestsTaskdefs.properties" loaderRef="toto" classpathref="webtests.classpath"/>

Marc.
