Hi there

Sorry for being OT, but I know you guys are using XPE together with eclipse. And there seems to be no developer mailing list for XPE!

I intend to add functionality to XPE to allow choosing of the HTML Parser via the GUI (in accordance with Alex Chaffee).

The test suite for XPE fails when run from within Eclipse because resources are not found. Can anybody please enlighten me as to how the Launch Configuration must be set so the Test Suite doesn't fail? Also: How must I define the Launch Configuration in order to run XPE from within Eclipse (not the Eclipse-Plugin, the plain XPE Java App) ?

Thank you very much Bernhard

Hey, this is ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS !!! Just what it needs to get really productive.

BTW: the eclipse plugin does not run for me (eclipse 2.1 milestone 5). How is the plugin supposed to be used?

thank you so much for the posting Mittie

Why not use httpunit's WebResponse.getDOM()? Since httpunit already does the parsing for you? Or look at xpe: http://www.purpletech.com/xpe/index.jsp which also uses httpunit.

Thanks for the help - I will have a look at it. Originally I thought along the lines parsing the HTML result of Canoo Webtest with NekoHTML, transforming the result into a DOM tree and getting the XPath expression by recursing down to the text nodes - assuming that I have not forgotten to program in Java ... :-)

I implemented something similar with DOM4J a while ago - but I have to make up my mind if this is really useful.

My original problem stems from invalid HTML swallowed from NekoHTML - and I need a quick way to detect such problems the next time.

Thanks,

Siegfried Goeschl

There are some HTML Editors on the market that show local or fetched HTML as DOM Tree. I searched the web for it and found some. However, I didn't put much time into further evaluation.

Carsten mentioned that there also is a solution at mozilla.org that does this trick.

any experiences?

cheers Mittie

Hi folks,

I'm currently rolling out Canoo Webtest (i.e. the Maven Plugin) at the testing department of Together Teamlösungen.

For simple creation of test scripts a debugging output of the HTML DOM (either parsed by JTidy of NekoHTML) or a list of XPath expression for the HTML DOM (mapping from XPath to content) would be helpful.

Any ideas or opinions out there?!

Thanks in advance ...
