[Http-webtest-general] chaining click_link tests

[bruce <br...@ir...>]

I suspect this would be a frequently asked question, but I can't
find the answer in the cookbook nor in the mailing list archives,
so here goes.

I would like to have a series of tests where each page is reached
from clicking a link on the previous page.   Thus, the tests would
look something like this:

    test_name = Account options page
      url = http://localhost/accountoptions
      text_require = ( Account Options )
    end_test

    # click a link on the accountoptions page
    test_name = unsubscribe page
      click_link = Remove a game from your subscription
      text_require = ( Remove a Game )
    end_test

    # click a link on the unscubscribe page
    test_name = unsubscribe from game 1
      click_link = Unsubscribe
      params  = ( id => 1 )
      text_require = ( Confirm unsubscribe from )
    end_test

    # click a link on the confirmation page
    test_name = confirm unsubscribe
      click_link = Confirm Unsubscription
      text_require = ( You have been unsubscribed )
    end_test


By default, WebTest will attempt to click a link found on the
"http://localhost/accountoptions" page for each of these tests, and so
all but the first one will fail.   What is the easiest way to modify
the wtscript so that the click_link commands cascade?  I'd prefer _not_
to have to inject "url =" tests throughout, if that's possible.
