Hmm, it seems that you're right about it being a problem with my mail
setup. I'm using exim on a Debian box, and I did find an error message
about failing to open a database lock file which I was able to correct
by fixing some incorrect permissions.

However, I still fail to get two messages sent when they are going to
the same email address. If they go to different addresses it works fine.
Now that I think about it, I seem to recall reading that my webhost
provider removes duplicates. I'll check into that possibility.

Thanks for your reply!

Just tried following example and it worked correctly for me
(i.e. mailed results to both addresses):

use HTTP::WebTest;

my $wt = HTTP::WebTest->new;

$wt->run_tests([ { url => 'http://localhost/',
                   text_require => [ 'Bla bla' ] } ],
               { mail => 'all',
                 mail_addresses => [ 'il...@ip...',
                                     'il...@ma...' ] });

I had same versions of HTTP::WebTest and Net::SMTP

I'd check mail server logs for any errors.

[Http-webtest-general] Sending email errors to multiple addresses

[William M. <wi...@kn...>]

Hi Ilya,

I'm having troubles sending email to multiple addresses when a test
fails. I'm using WebTest 2.04 and Net::SMTP 2.26. Here are my params:

my $global_params = {
	# Global parameters
	ignore_case => 'yes',
	mail => 'errors',
	mail_addresses => [ 'wi...@kn...', 'k9...@kn...' ],
	mail_server => 'smtp-server.carolina.rr.com',
	mail_from => 'wi...@kn...',
	terse => 'failed_only',
	show_html => 'yes',
	show_cookies => 'yes',
	show_headers => 'yes',
};

The header fields will show that the mail is sent To: both addresses.
However, only the first address receives the message. I have checked the
code and can't find a problem with it. It appears to adhere to the
Net::SMTP docs. I'm going to keep looking but wanted to see if anyone
else had problems with sending to multiple addresses.

Thanks,
William

RE: [Http-webtest-general] Temporary redirect and POST don't work together

[Thieme.Geoff <Geo...@we...>]

Ilya mentioned a new libwww release was out that seems may have changes
relevant to my problem. Installing the newest LWP fixed my POST to an SSL
cluster problem w/WebTest 2.04. Thanks for the great support Ilya!

My CPAN install of LWP installed libwww-perl 5.75 and HTML::Parser 3.34.

Subject: RE: [Http-webtest-general] Temporary redirect and POST don't

It worked. I did a print $response->title just to make sure it brought back
the correct page title, and it did.

Here is the output of "use LWP::Debug ('+');" using the reverse proxy:
$ time ./WebTestTester.pl
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: POST https://externalsite/loginvalidation.jsp
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Found
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: POST https://externalsite/loginfailed.jsp
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 4096 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 3955 bytes
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: OK
My Page - Login Failedok

real    0m3.820s
user    0m0.851s
sys     0m0.203s

"My Page - Login Failedok" includes the $response->title. BTW, this test is
supposed access loginfailed.jsp and say Login Failed.

Here is the debug output when accessing an internal web site SSL directly:
$ time ./WebTestTester.pl
LWP::UserAgent::new: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: POST https://internalsite/loginvalidation.jsp
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: Found
LWP::UserAgent::request: ()
LWP::UserAgent::send_request: POST https://internalsite/loginfailed.jsp
LWP::UserAgent::_need_proxy: Not proxied
LWP::Protocol::http::request: ()
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 4096 bytes
LWP::Protocol::collect: read 3955 bytes
LWP::UserAgent::request: Simple response: OK
My Page - Login Failedok

real    0m1.740s
user    0m0.851s
sys     0m0.143s

The only difference I can see from testing with the debug code is that using
the reverse proxy takes a lot longer.

I looked at the HTTP headers using Lynx to see if there was a difference
between using the reverse proxy and not using it. I didn't see any
difference from what Lynx was able to show me.

Header when accessing loginvalidation.jsp:
HTTP/1.1 302 Moved Temporarily
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 15:19:29 GMT
Set-cookie: jsessionid=378601065194369869;path=/
Location: https://externalsite/loginfailed.jsp
Expires: now
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Cache-control: no-cache="set-cookie,set-cookie2"
Connection: Close
Connection: close

Header when finished and stilling on the loginfailed.jsp page:
HTTP/1.1 200 OK
Server: Netscape-Enterprise/4.1
Date: Fri, 03 Oct 2003 15:28:00 GMT
Connection: Keep-alive
Expires: now
Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1
Content-length: 8049
Connection: close

This leads me to believe there must be differences not seen in the headers.

I don't remember if I actually tested a post on an SSL site w/a reverse
proxy using HTTP::WebTest 1.xx . I know I tested using a non SSL site.

Can you please try following test script:

}

If it reproduces the problem (i.e. you get same error message) then it
should be either a problem in LWP or in reverse proxy.

You can add

use LWP::Debug (+);

to get all debug log from LWP::Debug. They may be helpful to find
what's going on.

As I understand HTTP::WebTest 1.xx didn't use
$ua->requests_redirectable([qw(GET HEAD POST)]) to let LWP::UserAgent
$ua->handle redirects after POST but was doing it itself. Probably it
$ua->explains the difference.

That's what I really wanted to know. I appreciate your input on how to
implement. My thinking was that each misspelled word would be presented
along with a list of alternatives. I'll put it on my list of projects
but unfortunately don't have a time frame for implementation :(.

It definitely sounds like interesting idea. And it shouldn't be very
hard to implement.

Basically plugin should get $response->content then spellcheck it via
Text::Aspell or Text::Ispell. IIRC both support spellchecking in HTML
documents so you don't even have to bother with parsing HTML. For each
misspelling plugin should report an error. If no misspellings test passes.

Obviously you need to deal with situation when correct word is not in
dictionary. Maybe use a test paramater which points to a file with
additional word list.

If you need any help with implementation of such plugin just ask.

ispell (http://xrl.us/34f) and aspell (http://xrl.us/34g). Aspell is
more advanced than ispell but ispell have more dictionaries than
aspell so for some (human) languages you have to stick with ispell.

And of course there are exist Perl bindings for various spellcheckers:

I started working on such thing but had not time to finish it. I had
in my mind a tool which can

1. record web sessions (the tool acts as HTTP proxy)
2. autogenerate test scripts from web sessions
3. edit tests scripts (including autogenerated)
4. replay test scripts

all via web interface.

Unfortunately I didn't have much free time to finish it so for now it
only does #1 and has very incomplete support for #2. There is no code
for #3 and #4 at all.

If you are interested take it from CVS (http://xrl.us/3ps). Project is
called HTTP-WebTest-Recorder. If you really want to do a web front end
for users to run tests I'd love it to be a part of
HTTP-WebTest-Recorder.

You need to rewrite your regex to match the following string:

   Upstream Rate (fast mode)</th><td>896 Kbps

Your current regex isn't working because you are not checking for the
tags. My guess is that the \D class is not catching the forward slash or
the angle brackets. Are you sure that you are using it correctly?

Whenever I have a regex that is not working as expecting, I create a
throwaway Perl script to test it. I suspect you'll find that you need to
modify your regex to match the string.

Good luck,
William

Now tell me how do i get the Upstream /Downstream value

I want to get upstream and down stream value for fastmode.

I appreciate your help on this,

Archana,

You need to provide the list with more info about what is going wrong.
"It is not working" is insufficient information to help you debug the
problem. Did you turn on debugging as I suggested in my previous email?
What is the output? Try restating your problem as well. I use
on_response in several of my tests and have no problems with it. Have
you tested that your regex is working? What do you mean by "on_response
fails"?

Hope this helps,
William

It sounds like you are saying there are three problems:
	1) response page is not correct ("Rather content file is not showing the correct contents of the page")
	2) $up does not get a value
	3) text_require works

If 1 is really a problem, then you should turn on debugging. I use the
following:

terse = failed_only
show_html = yes
show_cookies = yes
show_headers = yes

> Can anyone help me with this problem?

Try changing the on_response to the following (I added parens around the
$up variable):

on_response => {
  ($up) = $webtest->current_response->content =~ /Upstream Rate\(fast mode\)\D*(\d+) Kbps/
}

Re: [Http-webtest-general] on_response problem

[Johannes la P. <joe...@us...>]

Archana,

Why not just stick to the predefined "regex_require" method?
So rather than:

 > on_response => {
 >          $up = $webtest->current_response->content =~ /Upstream Rate
 > \(fast mode\)\D*(\d+) Kbps/

use:
...
text_require => 'showtime',
regex_require => '/Upstream Rate \(fast mode\)\D*(\d+) Kbps/',
...

Cheers,

Joe.

[Http-webtest-general] on_response problem

[archana <ar...@am...>]

Hi,

I have perl script with webtest object created from HTTP:WebTest.
Logging in to a page and trying to get value of a variable. When i am
using the following command, i am unable to get correct value of
variable. Rather content file is not showing the correct contents of the
page. Text require gets the expected value from teh page but on_response
fails.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

test case looks somewhat like this,

$webtest->run_test(
[
url = http://192.168.1.10
text_require => 'showtime',
on_response => {
           $up = $webtest->current_response->content =~ /Upstream Rate
\(fast mode\)\D*(\d+) Kbps/
}
]
);


thanks and regards,
Archana

After running all tests you can get all results via Perl API:

my $wt = HTTP::WebTest->new;
$wt->run_wtscript('tests.wt');

print "Total number of failed tests: ", $wt->num_fail, "\n";
print "Total number of passed tests: ", $wt->num_succeed, "\n";

my @tests = @{$wt->tests};
for my $i (0 .. @tests - 1) {
    print "Test #$i: ";
    for my $result ($test->results) {
        print $result->ok ? 'pass' : 'fail';
    }
    print "\n";
}

see perldoc HTTP::WebTest::API, HTTP::WebTest::Test and
HTTP::WebTest::TestResult.

[Http-webtest-general] Count of failed/passed test cases

[archana <ar...@am...>]

Hi,
Is there a way i can get a buffer containing number of test cases passed
and failed after running a perl script having multiple test cases?

The results are formatted and being displayed properly. I need to have
them in some var/buffer so that i can re-use info for testing.

thanks,
Archana

archana,

Sorry to say so, but RTFM aill reveal that you can pass the run_tests 
method two data structures, one consisting of global parameters and the 
other an array of hashes with test descriptions.

Everything is nicely documented in the main documentation, and then 
there is the cookbook with nice examples.

Try (on the command prompt):

$ perldoc HTTP::WebTest

SYNOPSIS
           use HTTP::WebTest;

           my $webtest = new HTTP::WebTest;

           # run test from file
           $webtest->run_wtscript('script.wt');

           # or (to pass test parameters as method arguments)
           $webtest->run_tests($tests);

[...]

You want the second alternative.

You can also read  this online:

http://search.cpan.org/~ilyam/HTTP-WebTest-2.04/lib/HTTP/WebTest.pm

Special attention to section:


    Calling HTTP::WebTest from a Perl program (just click below):

http://search.cpan.org/~ilyam/HTTP-WebTest-2.04/lib/HTTP/WebTest.pm#Calling_HTTP::WebTest_from_a_Perl_program

There you have it, with examples and all...

Good webtest scripting!

Cheers,

Joe.

Re: [Http-webtest-general] How to write webtest based testcases in perl

[archana <ar...@am...>]

Thanks William,

But what i am looking at is putting everything in perl script rather
than using 'wt' file. And i wanted info on how i can mention list of 
global test  parameters before any testcase?

thanks,
archana

RTFM. You can pass in parameters via the run_wtscript command. I have a
control script which cycles through a directory of wt test files. It'd
be a simple matter of adding the global parameters to this perl script.

In addition, I use a Perl parameter in my wt scripts to set the url so
that I can quickly switch between running the tests on my test server or
the production server. I used to have to change the url value in each wt
script until Ilya showed me how I could set it from the global perl
program. See the thread "Passing optional parameters" from last month in
the newsgroup archives on SourceForge.

Hope this helps,
William
