If you use Perl API instead of just running wtscript with wt program
you can use 'output_ref' and/or 'fh_out' parameters:
use HTTP::WebTest;
my $output = '';
my $webtest = HTTP::WebTest->new;
$webtest->run_wtscript('script.wt',
{ output_ref => \$output });
In this case all output will be "redirected" into scalar variable
$output.
On the other hand I would not parse test output. It is easier to use
Perl API to find results of tests.
$webtest->tests->[$num]->results
returns test results for test #$num. See perldoc HTTP::WebTest::API
and HTTP::WebTest::Test for details.
Another option (if you just want to add more checks for each test) is
either using test parameter on_response from
HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::Hooks plugin (see examples in
HTTP::WebTest::Cookbook) or even writtin a plugin. Writting new plugin
is not hard - see perldoc HTTP::WebTest::Plugins and sources of

This feature was lost in 1.xx -> 2.xx rewrite by accident. Guess it
was not that widely used as it is first bug report about it :)
Simpliest workaround is using a new HTTP::WebTest feature which allows
evaluation of Perl expressions in wtscript files.
You can write for example:
test_name = Auth
auth = ( "$ENV{USERNAME}"
"$ENV{PASSWORD}" )
}
url = .....
end_test
in this case you'll have to pass username/password as environment
variables.
Or something like
test_name = Auth
auth = {
print STDOUT "Username: "; my $username = <STDIN>;
print STDOUT "Password: "; my $password = <STDIN>;
chomp($username, $password);
return [ ($username, $password) ];
}
url = .....
end_test
This will emulate old behavior - i.e. ask for username and password
interactively.

Hi, I recently upgraded HTTP::WebTest, and immediately ran into a problem
with how the auth parameter is handled. I've been specifying my tests with
a .wt script file, and until now have been able to specify only the
username in the file, like so:
auth = ( myname )
When I ran the test, it would prompt me to enter my password, to enter it
again for confirmation, and then run the tests as that user and password.
The latest version of HTTP::WebTest fails, apparently insisting that I
store my network password in plaintext in the test file.
Since this is unacceptable from a security standpoint, it looks like I'm
forced to switch to putting all the tests into the perl script itself. That
way I can still prompt for the password and pass the username and password
as part of the parameters. While I'm glad this option is available, it
would be nice to have the old behaviour back. Even better would be to
specify auth = () (or whatever is most intuitive) and have it prompt for
both username and password.
Thanks,

Hi,
I'm working on a plugin that I hope is mostly finished to allow for the
testing of tags, attributes and their values using a html parser TokeParser.
I'm asking for feedback so that I can release the best code possible.
The module is available at:
http://www.ethercube.net/articles/Browser%20Version%20Testing%20using%20plug
ins/Article.php
It's called TagAttTest (CPAN requires names less than 11 characters.)
Thanks for any help.

NAME
HTTP::WebTest - Testing static and dynamic web content
DESCRIPTION
This module runs tests on remote URLs containing
Perl/JSP/HTML/JavaScript/etc. and generates a detailed test report. This
module can be used "as-is" or its functionality can be extended using
plugins. Plugins can define test types and provide additional report
capabilities. This module comes with a set of default plugins but can be
easily extended with third party plugins.
CHANGES SINCE LAST STABLE VERSION 2.00:
ENHANCEMENTS:
* Port self-testing suite from Test to Test::More.
* HTTP::WebTest allows to specify non-default parser for wtscript
files.
* Now HTTP::WebTest::Parser can generate wtscript files from test
parameters.
DEPRECATIONS:
* Subroutines 'start_webserver' and 'stop_webserver' was moved from
HTTP::WebTest::SelfTest to HTTP::WebTest::Utils. They still can be
exported from HTTP::WebTest::SelfTest but their usage from this module
is deprecated.
BUG FIXES:
* New versions of LWP add Client-Peer header in all responses what
breaks one of tests in self-testing suite. This test is fixed so it
should pass ok with both new and old versions of LWP. Thanks to
Johannes la Poutre for bug report.
* Test in self-testing suite for 'timeout' parameter was buggy and
could fail on some machines. Thanks to Johannes la Poutre for bug
report.
* HTTP::WebTest::Plugin::HarnessReport produced report output on
STDERR what was adding noise in 'make test' output when being used in
Test::Harness-style test suites.

Well, Loadrunner costs thousands and thousands of dollar for each computer you want to simulate. The advantage is that it also has some nice reporting and statistical analysis tools. WebTest is free, you can use some other Perl modules to do any stat analysis, but you will have a week or so work to do. I've done something similar with Perl for a UNIX app. that worked really well and then I used the GD graphing module and my own statistical routines (just mean, max, ..) Doing concurrent things with Perl is sometimes difficult because fork() isn't normally built in, so you will need to get around that with shell scripts or compile Perl with multithreading, ...

Hello everyone, A few questions: -How do we compare wt with loadrunner ? -is it possible to use wt to do load testing ? Basically, there are 2 scenarios: 1) login once and access/hit the page in a loop (or repeated, see 10,000 times); 2) from within one script, login multiple times concurrently and hit the resources; Thanks.

Some comments: Probably you it will be cleaner solution to put your code which constructs regexps to verify HTML tags into a HTTP::WebTest plugin. Moreover if you happen to put this code into a plugin you might find that it is easier to just write code to parse HTML page with real HTML parser (like HTML::Parser or XML::LibXML). In general it is more robust approach when it comes to parsing of HTML than using regexps. Actually I was going to do write plugin for HTTP::WebTest which let's to do HTML tree checks via XML::LibXML. Another note is that since you are filtering output of HTTP::WebTest you might find that it is easier to just write your own reporting plugin. Or you could just disable default reporting plugin and get results of tests from HTTP::WebTest object. -- Ilya Martynov, il...@ip...

Syntax of params block is wrong here. It probably should look like:
params =3D ( name =3D> John
upload =3D> ( /home/john/file_name.txt ) )
or
params =3D ( name =3D> John
upload =3D> ( /home/john/file_name.txt=20
file_name.txt ) )
or
params =3D ( name =3D> John
upload =3D> ( /home/john/file_name.txt=20
file_name.txt
Content-Type =3D> text/plain ) )
Some background:
When you do file uploads content of form is encoded as multipart MIME
data streams (see RFC1867 for explanation) and each parameter is
represented as a separate MIME part which can have its own headers.
Syntax Explanation:
When you specify file upload parameter it is specified as a list which
looks like
( FILE, FILENAME, HEADER =3D> VALUE... )
where
FILE - is path to file which is sent to the server
(optional) FILENAME - filename which appear in the headers of
corresponding MIME part
(optional) HEADER =3D> VALUE, ... - These parameters let you to specify
additional headers for corresponding MIME part. For example they can
be used to specify a type of the uploaded file. I.e. text/plain for
plain text or image/png for PNG images.

Hi. I was trying to test uploading a file, but the server that handles the request complains that the file does not exist. The basic sequence of tests I run are the following: 1. login as a particular user. 2. Access the page that allows the file upload. 3. Attempt to upload a file. The test block looks like such: test_name = test 1 url = http://someserver.com/upload.pl method = post params = ( name => John upload => (file => /home/john/file_name.txt Content-Type => 'multipart/form-data' ) ) on_request { ... preprocessing } on_response { ... further processing. } end_test Any help would be great...

For example, params = (
id => 1,2
)
I have been trying various possiblities, but with no luck. Any suggestions would be great.

at least for my special question also
$webtest->run_wtscript('case2.1', { url => $Next_Start_URL} );
will work (I found out), but your solution is more general and can be used
for passing any variables
thanks for the fast help,

No, currently HTTP-WebTest doesn't have builtin support for such
control of test flow. Though splitting test case into parts will work.

You can use global vars to pass this information into the next test
case:
test_name = N/A
url = "$main::Next_Start_URL"
end_test
this example assumes that $Next_Start_URL is declared in package main
and it is a global var (i.e. not 'my').
