We have a Canoo webtest set up to test a multi-locale application. For each locale, the webtest loads a number of properties from a properties file.
In the example below, locale_code, htaccess.username, htaccess.password and webtest_url are all defined in such a property file.
In the webtest task itself, ${locale_code} is replaced, resulting in (for example) "CatalogueOrderFriendsCountry DE-DE http://www.example.com".
The properties in the invoke step, however, are not replaced, with the description showing up as "Einstieg Hauptseite ${webtest_url}" even though they are properly replaced just one line above it.
<project default="test">
<import file="../../definitions.xml"/>
<target name="test" depends="wt.defineMacros">
<webtest name="CatalogueOrderFriendsCountry ${locale_code} ${webtest_url}">
<invoke username="${htaccess.username}" password="${htaccess.password}" url="${webtest_url}" description="Einstieg Hauptseite ${webtest_url}"/>
...
It is pretty obvious that the locale specific properties file is loaded, we can change webtest_url (for example) in the file and the new value is properly replaced in the webtest name.
I know next to nothing about ant (Canoo being my exposure to it), and very little about Canoo webtest (I recently inherited them), so I'm not even sure whether this is a webtest or an ant issue.
