AW: Strange property expansion

Hi. Marc,
this already was intended as a demo setup and is as simple as can be. Everything was originally extracted from a running project. 
I'm reading a properties file with dynamic properties like this one:

base.url=http://www.heise.de/ct/

In the test a call of <invoke url=#{base.url}/> expands to something as in the log file:

...
[storeProperty] DEBUG (com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step) - setWebtestProperty: base.url=http://www.heise.de/ct/ [dynamic]
...
DEBUG (com.canoo.webtest.ant.TestStepSequence) - Executing step invoke org.apache.tools.ant.UnknownElement@15b44d6
   [invoke] DEBUG (com.canoo.webtest.ant.WebtestPropertyHelper) - Notifying listeners of properties expansion: #{base.url} -> http://www.heise.de/ct/
   [invoke]  INFO (com.canoo.webtest.steps.Step) - >>>> Start Step: invoke "Webseite der c't aufrufen" (3/24)
   [invoke]  INFO (com.canoo.webtest.steps.request.TargetHelper) - getting response for url: http://localhost/#{base.url}
   [invoke] DEBUG (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient) - Get page for window named '', using WebRequest[<url="http://localhost/#{base.url}", GET, EncodingType[name=application/x-www-form-urlencoded], [], {Accept=*/*}, null>]
   [invoke] DEBUG (com.gargoylesoftware.htmlunit.WebClient) - Load response for GET http://localhost/#%7Bbase.url%7D
...

The test execution report is similarly strange:

3	ok	invoke
	Webseite der c't aufrufen
		Resulting page	
			-> complete url	http://localhost/#{base.url}
					url	http://www.heise.de/ct/

I suspect some configuration (ANT, Java) problem. My environment is win7 enterprise and I installed the Java SDK with the windows install script. That was all except for system path and  build.xml.
Cheers
Carsten

This looks strange. Are you able to reproduce it with a minimal example?

Cheers,
Marc.

> Hi there,
> I am experiencing a strange behaviour with webtest properties. It seems webtest knows the property and its value but in the steps they don't expand. I will include a debug console output to clarify this. The example prop ist #{heise.suchbegriff} which will get inserted literally in com.canoo.webtest.steps.form.SetInputField below:
