DataDriven Testing feeding from other sources - Not Excel

[Hernan Castagnola]

In order to feed my test cases in a dynamic way I am trying to feed it form a Class *Test*Provider
The purpose is the same as the dataDriven antTask but instead of feeding from an excel it feeds from from a Class.
The problem I am having is that I want to run all the tests not stopping when the first test fails.
The only way I found to do that was :

public class SeoHomepageTest extends WebtestCase {
   
    def provider = new SeoHomepageProvider()

    public void testSeoStructure() {
        provider.testCasesData.each(){test ->
            webtest("MetatagId: $test.metatagid Testing Title - Meta Description - MetaKeyword"){
                config (haltonerror: "false", haltonfailure: "false")
                ant.group description:"MetatagId: $test.metatagid" , {
                  Homepage.goTo(test.url, ant)
                  SeoVerifications.checkMetatags(test.title, test.metadescription, test.metakeyword, ant)
                }
            }
        }
    }

 
}

However this way when i see the results I see the same test several times, one per data injection.   Does anyone know if there is a way to do this in webtest:

public class SeoHomepageTest extends WebtestCase {
   
    def provider = new SeoHomepageProvider()

    public void testSeoStructure() {
     
            webtest("MetatagId: $test.metatagid Testing Title - Meta Description - MetaKeyword"){
                config (haltonerror: "false", haltonfailure: "false")
                  provider.testCasesData.each(){test ->           
                    ant.group description:"MetatagId: $test.metatagid" , {
                    Homepage.goTo(test.url, ant)
                     SeoVerifications.checkMetatags(test.title, test.metadescription, test.metakeyword, ant)
                }
            }
        }
    }

but telling webtest to continue with the next "test" if there is a step that fails.
Right now it stops the complete execution of the test when a setp fails.

something like this:

    public void testSeoStructure() {
     
            webtest("MetatagId: $test.metatagid Testing Title - Meta Description - MetaKeyword"){
                config (haltonerror: "false", haltonfailure: "false")
                  provider.testCasesData.each(){test ->           
                    ant.test description:"MetatagId: $test.metatagid" , {
                    Homepage.goTo(test.url, ant)
                     SeoVerifications.checkMetatags(test.title, test.metadescription, test.metakeyword, ant)
                }
            }
        }
    }


Thanks in advance

Hi,

you have probably to wrap your webtest call in a try / catch block.

Cheers,
Marc.
