[Http-webtest-general] Problems using on_reponse

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

Hi Ilya,

I'm having troubles using the on_response hook in one of my tests. I'm 
using the hook to grab a dynamically generated value as shown in the 
Cookbook. However, I also have some text_require settings in place. For 
some reason, the first text_require succeeds but the following ones fail 
(even though the words are in the page output). 

I read about the on_response handler in the docs but am not really sure 
what the return list is doing. Should I be setting it to something in 
order for these tests to succeed? I can send the entire test results if 
that would help.

Below is a snippet from my test params for the test that is failing:

	text_require = (
					Rater records successfully updated.
					Craig
					McKee
   					 )
	# get the new event_id
	on_response = {
		# get webtest object
		my $webtest = shift;

		# find event_id in the returned page
		($rater_id) = $webtest->last_response->content =~ 
/\&rater_id=(\d+)\">Craig</;

		# because no checks are defined a reference on empty array
		# must be returned
		[];
	}

Thanks,
William

If you return a ref on empty list then on_response return value is
simply ignored. It should not affect text_require in any way.

Try to add

    show_html = yes

to check that those words are indeed
in the page output.

Hi Ilya,

I do use show_html which is why I said in my original email that the words 
were in the page output. Once I corrected my regex, the tests succeeded. 
Sounds like a possible bug. However, my test script that I just built 
works fine. If I track anything down, I'll let you know.
