not+verifyText failing in Groovy?

[bestguy]

Hi,

I'm using 3.1's Groovy WebtestCase support, and seeing a failure with
the 'not' step.
I'm trying to verify text (certain character combos) is not present in a page.

Example:

webtest('Blah') {
    invoke("http://localhost:8080/somepage.tmpl")
    not(verifyText(text: 'blah'))
}


Fails with:

"Message

Step[verifyText (2/3)]: Text not found in page. Expected <blah>"


Am I missing something or is this a bug?

I'm a novice Webtest/Groovy user, but I'm guessing that veryfyText doesn't
know it's nested in "not", so it executes its normal path: compare text &
complain if it doesn’t match.

Try this using some text that IS in the page & see what happens?  I would
think that the NOT would complain.

try 

webtest('Blah') {
    invoke("http://localhost:8080/somepage.tmpl")
    not { verifyText(text: 'blah') }
}

nested steps have to be in curly braces.

cheers
