Repeat step in a Groovy test case

by Beat Koch-2 :: Rate this Message:

Reply to Author | View Threaded | Show Only this Message

I have a Groovy class that extends WebtestCase. I'm trying to write a
method checkResetState() that checks if all input elements on the
current page are reset (check boxes and radio buttons not checked;
text fields empty). This is what I have done for radio buttons:

def checkResetState() {
ant.repeat(xpath:"//input[@type='radio']", counterName:"rb") {
ant.groovy {
def button = step.webtestProperties.rb
println button // For debugging purposes

ant.verifyRadioButton xpath:"$button", checked:false
}
}
}

The ant.repeat part is ok; if I have three radio buttons on the page,
then the closure is called three times. However, rb is not set and
therefore; button is always null. As an alternative, I've tried

ant.repeat(xpath:"//input[@type='radio']/@id", counterName:"rb") {

to just get the id's of the buttons, or just

ant.repeat(xpath:"//input[@type='radio']/@id") {

and trying to use the count property, but no luck either. I haven't
figured out how to access the "current counter value". Can anyone help
me out?

Regards
Beat

I've done some tests (i.e. dozens of trial and error runs)... The following Webtest ant script works perfectly:

---

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE project SYSTEM "../dtd/Project.dtd">

</repeat>

</repeat>

</repeat>

</webtest>

</target>

</project>

---

However, the following Webtest Groovy class can not be executed:

---

import com.canoo.webtest.WebtestCase

class SimpleTest extends WebtestCase {

void testWebtestOnGoogle() {

webtest("Check repeat step") {

invoke "http://localhost/~bkoch/cbt.html"

repeat (xpath:"//input[@type='checkbox']", counterName:"currentButton") {

verifyCheckbox xpath:"$currentButton", checked:"false"

}

repeat (xpath:"//input[@type='radio']", counterName:"rb") {

verifyRadioButton xpath:"$rb", checked:"false"

}

repeat (count:"3") {

testInfo type:"Debug", info:"Hello world: #{count}"

}

---

The error is:

1) testWebtestOnGoogle(SimpleTest)groovy.lang.MissingPropertyException: No such property: currentButton for class: SimpleTest

at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.ScriptBytecodeAdapter.unwrap(ScriptBytecodeAdapter.java:49)

at org.codehaus.groovy.runtime.callsite.AbstractCallSite.callGroovyObjectGetProperty(AbstractCallSite.java:240)

at SimpleTest$_testWebtestOnGoogle_closure1_closure2.doCall(repeatTest.groovy:8)

Line 8 is the verifyCheckbox one. If I comment it out, then the error appears on the verifyRadioButton line. Strangely enough, the testInfo line executes fine. As a consequence, I have tried to use #{currentButton} instead of $currentButton on the verifyCheckbox line but then I get the following error during execution:

com.canoo.webtest.engine.StepExecutionException

Stacktrace

: Error processing xpath "#{currentButton}"., Step: VerifyCheckbox at : with (taskName="verifyCheckbox")

I believe that the ant script and Groovy class are identical from a semantical point of view. Either I'm wrong about this (and I would appreciate any pointer to the correct Groovy implementation) or there really is a problem with Webtest.

Hi Beat,

maybe this could work:

the repeat step places the counterName-Value in a webtest property, not a groovy variable, which can't be accessed using $propertyName.
Groovy tries to evaluate $propertyName as a groovy variable, which will fail.

Try "\${propertyName}" to access the webtest-property(-> Ant).
But be carefull, the expression "\${propertyName}" is only evaluated inside a webtest-step like verfiyXPath. The following won't work:

def varName = "\${webTestProperty}"

The result will exactly be the string, but not the property's value :)

Regards,
Sandro

Hello Sandro,

thanks for the suggestion, but no luck either, unfortunately.

I have now had a look at the source code of the repeat step. From my limited point of view, I think the problem is that the counter _is not_ stored as a webtest property if the loop is using an XPath expression. So far, I have not found any way to retrieve the current node. Maybe I should open a JIRA ticket?

Regards
Beat

I don't know much about Groovy, but I think that it could be related
to that which is explained there:
http://docs.codehaus.org/display/GroovyJSR/Groovy+String+Handling

I would replace
>> verifyCheckbox xpath:"$currentButton", checked:"false"
with:
verifyCheckbox xpath:'$currentButton', checked:"false"

(Replacing double quotes with simple quotes to avoid escaping).

Hi,

you're right: repeat used with XPath doesn't store the counter as a
WebTest property as it is not really a counter but an element. The
"counter" is saved as XPath variable and therefore the syntax $rb here
should be interpreted by the XPath parser, not before by Groovy or by Ant.

Following should work:

repeat (xpath:"//input[@type='radio']", counterName:"rb") {
verifyRadioButton xpath: '$rb', checked:"false"
}

Note the use of simple quotes instead of double quotes to use normal
strings and not GStrings.

Cheers,
Marc.

Hi Marc, Jean,

Yes, it does work that way, with single quotes. Thanks a lot!
