Hi,
Are you getting an error message at some point?
We use the datadriven approach inside the actual testcase rather than in de
AllTests.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE project SYSTEM "../dtd/Project.dtd">
<project default="test">
<target name="test">
<dataDriven tableContainer="WebtestConfig.xls">
<webtest name="check ${ClientName} Login works">
<invoke url="http://${SITEIP}/login.aspx"; description="Go to ${ClientName}
Login Page"/>
<setInputField xpath="//input[contains(@id,'txtUserName')]" value="XXXXXXXX" />
<setInputField name="txtPassword" value="XXXXXX" />
<clickButton htmlId="btnSubmit" />
<verifyText text="Dashboard"/>
</webtest>
</dataDriven>
</target>
</project>
But maybe it's the same thing.
Make sure the xls file has all the properties in the right case and does not
contain any spaces after the property names. So "ClientName" is okay, but
"clientName" is not and neither is "ClientName ".
Maybe you also need to check the path to the xls file.
Just a couple of thoughts.
