We use variables for hostname and port in the config.xml file, and pass
those in as -D parameters when we run the test, eg., here is a script I use
to run locally:
ant -DwebTestSrc=/Users/lcrispin/code/fast401k/src/web_test
-Dwebtesthome=/Users/lcrispin/canoo -Dhostname=chester -Dport=80
-DresultsPath=/Users/lcrispin/canoo/logs/chester_results
-DcanooTestToRun=$1.xml run-one-cano
Here's my config.xml:
<config
host="${hostname}"
browser="IE7"
protocol="http"
port="${port}"
basepath="/"
resultpath="${resultsPath}"
resultfile="result.xml"
summary="true"
showhtmlparseroutput="false"
saveresponse="true"
haltonerror="false"
haltonfailure="false"
easyajax="true" >
<option name="ThrowExceptionOnScriptError" value="true"/>
</config>
Here's the ant target for that in the build.xml:
<!-- the canoo tests are run using wt.full found in webtest.xml
residing in the canoo home directory
webtest.xml is included at the top of build.xml -->
<target name="run-one-canoo" depends="init" description="Runs specified
canoo test (requires running application).">
<property name="wt.testInWork"
value="${test.webtest.scripts.dir}/${canooTestToRun}"/>
<echo message="wt.full in ${webtesthome}"/>
<antcall target="wt.full" />
</target>
Does that help? In our Jenkins build, we pass parameters via the Jenkins
config.
