[Http-webtest-general] Passing optional parameters

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

Hi list,

I have been using the following code to set my URL in each of my
wtscript files:

	on_start {
		URL = http://www.yahoo.com
	}

In each of my tests I use this value as follows:

	url = "$URL/purchase.cgi"

When using more than 2 wtscripts, it would be far easier to set this
value just once (following the first virtue of good programming). I
looked into the API documentation and found that I can pass in optional
parameters when calling the run_wtscript function. Thus I rewrote my
master script that calls each of my wtscripts as follows:

	$webtest->run_wtscript($file,{'URL' => $URL});

Unfortunately when I run my tests, the $URL parameter is not available
and I get 500 errors because WebTest cannot find the empty domain name.
Is this a bug or user error?

Thanks,
William
