Hi Mario, take a look at the "config -> defaultpropertytype" section in the manual. http://webtest.canoo.com/webtest/manual/config.html
Specifically it says: "[...] default is "dynamic" [...] If set to "dynamic", webtest dynamic properties are used. [...] If using ant properties to store webtest properties, the values of properties persist across <webtest> tasks but you run the risk of name clashes with other tasks using ant properties. " Unless you've explicitely changed this in your configuration, I don't think you can expect properties to survive to the next webtest. When changing this, note that you're implicitely using "Step.getWebtestProperties()", which calls Step.getWebtestProperties(null). The argument indicates the type of properties to access, and null here means the default. When you change the default property type in the configuration, I'd check if you can still read the "dynamic" ones. Not too sure about all this though. :) Regards Murat 2010/10/27 Mario Somrei <[email protected]>: > Hi folks, > > I have a bunch of webtests that are testing a webshop and I want to store a > value (a special number that is dynamically created every time I create an > order) in an ant property, to use it in another webtest.
