Hiall - great podcast again! You asked about testing AJAX with Canoo WebTest and suggested that I would know to do this easily. So I feel some obligation to tell how I would test the scenario you described: clicking on a link that emits an AJAX call and verifying that a div element has been updated: clickLink 'mylabel' verifyXPath xpath:"//div[@id='myid']", text:'my ajax returned text' Now, to make sure that the verification is not checked before the ajax call returns, you can use a 'sleep' step in between the above steps. Since this can make your tests brittle (when the sleep is to short) or unnecessarily time consuming (when the sleep is too long), WebTests provides a not-yet-documented config setting: easyAjax=true, which currently provides sleeping defaults but will change to synchronous ajax calls as soon as HtmlUnit provides this functionality. This will result in stable ajax tests without excessive waiting. Hope, that clarifies things a bit ;-) Dierk

Hi, I just listened to this episode and had some problems to understand everything acoustically. Sven was on the left channel I think and was allmost to loud (overamplified?), Glen on the other hand on the right channel was very quiet. The content was great, of course...

Two things. 1) Here is the Nabble thread for WineLovers covering plugin setup in more detail: http://www.nabble.com/-ANN--Grails-Testing-Examples-Winelovers-Application-%28London-GGUG%29-td19795251.html 2) Scott Davis JUG link is broken. Was this the one you meant? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkaaOXGomzg

If like me you were listening to the podcast and wanted a recap on the 'as' operator Glen discusses in Venkat's book Programming Groovy. It's in section 3.4 implementing interfacecs starting on page 39. Couldn't find it in the index. Cheers for feedback Glen. As a side note. I was surprised Groovy is going to implement inner classes. I knew I'd read in GinA or Venkats book somewhere how closures provided a far more elegant solution which was architecturally more sound. I suppose it makes Groovy/Java interoperability easier.

If you continue your research referring to this good post, I will possibly purchase thesis topics at the <a href="http://www.master-dissertations.com">dissertation writing</a> service in web.
