Testing MyFaces with Canoo's WebTest

I'm trying to use Canoo's WebTest to test my JSF app.  I've found that I 
have to have JavaScript enabled in order to test commandLinks and such. 
  However, the problem I'm having is that WebTest throws a NPE on a page 
with a commandLink:

    [canoo] [appfuse] ERROR [main] Step.handleUnexpectedException(370) | 
Cannot
andle unexpected exception in step ClickButton at 
C:\Source\appfuse-jsf\test\we
\login.xml:6:  with (label="Login", stepId="Click the submit button", 
stepType=
clickbutton")
    [canoo] java.lang.RuntimeException: Script 'function clear_editUser() {
    [canoo]   var f = document.forms['editUser'];
    [canoo]   f.elements['editUser:_link_hidden_'].value=null;
    [canoo]   f.target='_self';
    [canoo] }
    [canoo] clear_editUser();
    [canoo] //' failed: java.lang.NullPointerException
    [canoo]     at 
com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript$JavaScriptEngine
handleScriptException(JavaScript.java:199)
    [canoo]     at 
com.meterware.httpunit.javascript.JavaScript$JavaScriptEngine
executeScript(JavaScript.java:136)
    [canoo]     at 
com.meterware.httpunit.scripting.ScriptableDelegate.runScript

It looks like it's bombing on the generated clear_editUser() function. 
If I do a view source on my page, my guess is that the call to get the 
form is failing b/c the JavaScript is above the </form> - rather than 
below it.

Has anyone been successful in using tools like Canoo or jWebUnit to test 
their JSF apps?

Thanks,

Matt

Upgrading to the latest Canoo WebTest distribution (build 574) solved 
this issue.
