Hi,

WebTest should provide some facilities to write tests as Groovy code. I have some ideas concerning this but nothing is ready.

In the mean time, you can have a look at how it is done in Grails-Webtest Plugin

https://svn.codehaus.org/grails-plugins/grails-webtest/trunk/src/groovy/grails/util/WebTest.groovy

Concerning your errors: you need to pass your ant object to the method

ant.webtest(name:'groovy: Test Groovy Scripting at creation time'){ config(config_map) steps(){ login(ant) println('Finished tests ') } } ... login(ant) { ant.invoke(url:'https://xyz/abc.') ant.setInputField(name: "xx", value: "t50") ant.setInputField(name: "yy", value: "junk123") ant.clickButton(name: "zz") ant.verifyText(text: "AA") }

for a better reporting you can use a group like this: login(ant) { ant.group(description: "perform login") { invoke(url:'https://xyz/abc.') setInputField(name: "xx", value: "t50") setInputField(name: "yy", value: "junk123") clickButton(name: "zz") verifyText(text: "AA") } }

this allows to have the appropriate delegate defined and therefore you don't need to write ant.xxx for each step. I want to explore some tricks with delegates to think that some trick

This is the groovy example I was using . If I replace the login() method with the contents of that method then things work . running the test as is gives an error

Caught: : Unexpected exception caught: org.apache.tools.ant.BuildException at test.run(test.groovy:17) at test.main(test.groovy)

My groovy version is Groovy Version: 1.5.1 JVM: R27.3.0-106-83792-1.5.0_11-20070607-1618-linux-ia32

############### def ant = new AntBuilder() def webtest_home = System.properties.'webtest.home'

ant.taskdef(resource:'webtest.taskdef'){ classpath(){ pathelement(location:"$webtest_home/lib") fileset(dir:"$webtest_home/lib", includes:"**/*.jar") } }

def config_map = [:] ['autorefresh'].each{ config_map[it] = System.properties['webtest.'+it] }

ant.testSpec(name:'groovy: Test Groovy Scripting at creation time'){ config(config_map) steps(){ login() println('Finished tests ') } }

login() { invoke(url:'https://xyz/abc.') setInputField(name: "xx", value: "t50") setInputField(name: "yy", value: "junk123") clickButton(name: "zz") verifyText(text: "AA") }

Hi The samples provide how to organize tests into manageable entities in a XML format . The XML entity is particulary useful (since I am generating the tests from an XSL transformation )

But I am moving my tests to groovy since I need to do a lot more housekeeping and doing them in ANT leads to a lot of verbose code.

I would like some suggestions on how to do a corresponding organization of tests in groovy

I tried to add a function in the end but that gives a BuildException . I tried to put them in a java class but then that class does not find the AntBuilder.

It would be very helpful if the samples also contains a groovy format .

Any other suggestions would also be helpful

Regards Hari
