[latka]Project alive?
Hi,
I have written a tool with similar goals as Latka, but wich uses a
little different approach. Maybe it is possible to share some ideas and
code, so I wanted to ask if Latka is under active development.
Regards
Oli

After a bit of searching I found it in the attic:
org.apache.commons.latka.util.URLParser
http://cvs.apache.org/viewcvs/jakarta-commons/latka/src/java/org/apache/commons/latka/util/Attic/URLParser.java?rev=1.10&hideattic=0&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup

Well, then I will go ahead and try to integrate my stuff into Latka, but
this will surely take some time. If I have problems, I will post again.
I supose the developers insist on their guidelines mentioned in the
developer guide ;-) ?
Janek, on a first glance I did not find such a link extraction class. Do
you perhaps remember its name and package?
Thanks

When I first used lakta I would have used this feature had it been
present. I would have liked to get a page with a list of dynamic URLs
and then followed the first five, for example. So I expect it would be
of interest to future users.
There is a link extraction class in the latka code base already but IIRC
it was just a command line tool and not integrated in latka.

Fine! Then would there be interest for the following feature:
I have written a simple HTML parser that is able to extract links (<a>
tags, forms, frames) from HTML pages. My tool that I have mentioned in
my first mail, stores these links for all pages that it has loaded. It
then allows to define requests that follow some or all of these
extracted links.
So after a page was loaded it is e.g. possible to say "follow the 1st
link of this page", or "follow the link with the text xy", or "send the
first form with the following parameters". This way quite dynamic tests
can be defined.
As far as I understand Latka it at the moment supports only static URLs
that must be defined in the test XML file. This could it make difficult
to test dynamic web applications that generate complex URLs for
accessing its elements. Writing test scripts would be easier if those
URLs could be extracted directly from the loaded pages.
Do you think this feature is worth to be added to Latka?

I wouldn't say active, but it's still under development.
