[ptt-users] testgen4web script runs in firefox but not from pushtotest

Hi Tara:

Thanks for sending the recorded script and explaining what you are  
seeing.

The hand-edits look ok to me.

Are you thinking the slowness is from the target application or  
something in the Plug-in? If the Plug-in, click the Preferences  
button in the TestGen4Web plug-in and change the Delay value to make  
it run faster.

The plug-in runs the script by making calls to the Firefox browser.  
TestMaker's TestGen4Web script runner is an interpreter that uses the  
HTMLUnit framework to operate the test. There are bound to be  
differences.

I can look into this if you were to provide me with a network-level  
trace of the script running in the plug-in AND running in TestMaker.  
You can use WireShark (Etheral) or the Network Monitor in TestMaker.  
Send it to me and I'll look for why the script runner is messing-up.

Yep. This is a bug. (Or, an unimplemented enhancement. :-)

The TestGen4Web package from SpikeSource has the ability to give a  
visual output. We turned it off in TestMaker because it is not needed  
for a load and performance test. Sorry.
