[Webunitproj-users] RE: xml script for webunit

[<Eri...@al...>]

Franz,

Unfortunately, these are all things we're stuck with,
until someone has the time to address them.  See
my comments inline on each issue.

Thanks,

--Erik

I think it is important that people know that WebUnit does not yet
have support to programmatically dismiss MsgBoxes.  I vote that we
leave these in here (in some form) until we have MsgBox support.

The 'OK (18 tests)' message is currently how I judge success/failure,
in light of all this other 'noise'.

This behaviour really irritates me.  I think I've used a
profile tool (like JProbe) to help detect the root of this problem.
ANT might be part of the problem too.  I vaguely remember running
this from a batch file and not getting this behavior.

I agree that getting the unit tests to run autonomously is a good goal.
We just have more work before we get there.

I get these same behaviors with Win2k, 1.4.1.
