The other day I needed to “re-invoke”/refresh the current page – i.e. the response HTML – during a <webtest />.
Since neither the manual nor a couple of quick Google searches gave me what I needed, here’s how I solved the problem using a simple <scriptStep> followed by an <invoke>:
<scriptStep description="Get the current HTTP Request URL." language="groovy">
def url = step.getContext()
.getCurrentResponse()
.getWebResponse()
.getRequestSettings()
.getUrl()
.toExternalForm();
step.setWebtestProperty('tmp.currentRequestUrl', url, step.PROPERTY_TYPE_DYNAMIC);
</scriptStep>
<!-- now you can use it like this or pass it to a definition -->
<invoke url="#{tmp.currentRequestUrl}" />
In case it might be of use to you…
