Version 0.9.14 (2013-12-11)

  • Change: We did a minor change in our control finder. We now use the position on the page (in our page index) instead of the an internal textual description as final criterion when comparing two controls. This is more reliable and 'natural' because the algorithm now chooses always the first control.
  • Change: The command line client no longer uses one-jar. We had many resource loading problems with this approach. Hopefully the simpler solution makes the client more robust.
  • Change: For the future we plan to generate more sophisticated output. Because of this, we made the file structure of our output a bit more flexible. There is now a subdirectorx 'resources' that replaces the 'images' subdirectory. We add jQuery to the resources dir, because our html report will use this in the future.

  • Bugfix: Some layout issues in for the snapshots are fixed.
  • Bugfix: Class cast exception in our wait code when a page contains an iframe with non html content.
  • Bugfix: In case an action leads to an error (http 400, 404, 5xx) the error page is now visible in the output. The error page is the current page the next assert content will work on.

Version 0.9.12 (2013-07-16)

  • Change: When building the 'flat' content of a web page (e.g. for assert-content) we now respect the value of the display property when checking for block/inline elements. This fixes some problems with missing blanks between various elements. This may some of your already working tests fail. But for all our test, the new results where more accurate. Sorry for this inconvenience (thanks chriseverty).
  • Change: Improved configuration output; CommandSets, Controls, Scripters, and ProxyHostsToBypass are mentioned also if not defined.
  • Bugfix: There was an old wetator.jar packed into wetator-ant.zip.

    again: This HtmlUnit release includes many fixes found by the wetator community during testing of sophisticated web apps (jQuery, RichFaces, Ajax).
  • Bugfix: There was a bug when choosing really many file for execution. Saving the list of files failed. This is fixed now; nothing can stop you now writing that many tests.
  • New: Assert-content is now aware of zipped responses. Wetator will unpack the zip and build a textual representation out of the parts of the archive. (again thanks tmandry for this suggestion and testing it)
  • Change: The handling of unsupported content types was changed; wetator processes this content now as plain ASCII. So you can do some simple content checking for unsuported content also (e.g. Check the header bits of a gif/jpeg. (thanks tmandry for this suggestion)
  • New: Wetator now remembers the last selected test and the position and size of the file chooser. (thanks tmandry for this suggestion)
  • Bugfix: Again we did some work on our wait code; now wetator is a bit more clever when using assert-content or assert-title with a specific timeout.
  • New: We added a new configuration option 'wetator.httpTimeout'. This defines the timeout in seconds wetator will wait for a http response.
  • New: A new command line option '-log' was added. This generates a chatty log that might help when searching for problems.
  • Bugfix: Some minor bugfixes for the page preview of the html report. This works now wiht IE and Chrome also.
  • Bugfix: The wiki scripter now handles comments the same way as the other scripters.

    This HtmlUnit release includes many fixes found by the wetator community during testing of sophisticated web apps (jQuery, RichFaces, Ajax).
  • New: The html report now shows a page preview when moving the mouse over the result page snapshot icon.
  • Change: poi updated to 3.9
  • Change: The internal wait algorithm is again more clever. We have fixed some minor issues and a bigger one related to iframes. If there are still some jobs in the queue after the timeout, we add a warning to the output.
  • Change: The use-module command now writes an error message if the given module file is not available.
  • Bugfix: Setting the value of an input control now takes the focus into account. This fixes problems with some fancy controls that replacing controls with other ones during the processing of the onfocus event.
  • New: We set up a integration build server at Cloudbees (https://wetator.ci.cloudbees.com/)
  • New: The ant task is now a separate eclipse project.
  • Change: Many more unit test added to the project.

  • New: NTLM support added

  • Bugfix: Improved credential handling; proxy credentials now used only for the proxy server. This fixes some issues when addressing a site with basic auth via a proxy
  • Bugfix: Minor build fixes; too many jars where packed
  • JUnit updated to version 2.10
  • HtmlUnit updated to the latest release 2.11-SNAPSHOT (including htmlunit-core-js 2.11-SNAPSHOT and cssparser 0.9.8-SNAPSHOT)

Because of the major internal changes this release requires the Wetator Jenkins Plugin 0.3 at least.

  • New: The whole error/exception handling logic is changed; now we have more fine grained control. As a visible result, Wetator now differs between failures and errors.

  • Bugfix: Possible endless loop during variable resolution.
  • Bugfix: Strange error message when downloading a broken Excel file.
  • Change: Wetator's file dialog is now visible for the task switcher.
