Page not found (404) when requesting a webresource
--------------------------------------------------
Key: WT-526
URL: http://webtest-community.canoo.com/jira/browse/WT-526
Project: WebTest
Type: Bug
Versions: 3.0
Environment: Windows XP, ANT 1.7, JDK 1.5, Internet access
Reporter: Urso
I wrote a webtest script.
My Story and Steps:
The script is trying to access a webresource (URL).
I experienced a page not found (Errorcode 404).
I looked up on Internet for people with similar occurring problems.
I found out that I am not the only one.
Some people are saying that this problem occurs because there might be some
referencing URL for which the webresource van't be found. It could be a CSS
resource or JavaScript resource etc etc.
Since nothing specific to this occurrence is logged during the execution of the
ant file, I decided to run the script on DEBUG level (log4j.properties).
In addition some people suggest to set the "ThrowExceptionOnFailingStatusCode"
to false in order to suppress the "404" exceptions/errors.
So I did.
Apparently it seemed to work and I could carry on.
I continued extending my webtest script and added a verifyTitle element. Plus
the expected value to be tested against.
Surprisingly my test failed! I know for sure that it must succeed. I haven
verified the actual title value in the fetched resource (thru webtest reports)
The actual value for the title is an empty string !!?? (Dazzled)
So, I concluded .... something must be wrong... and supressing the
exception/error 404 in my webtest config propagates some ripple effect to the
rest of the code and therefore affects the verifyTitle outcome.
I analyzed the log and I am afraid that this could be a bug, because I don't
see anything wrong except for the exception on verifyTitle. (Test failure)
Is this a bug, really?
