Re: How can I get storeXPath result in groovy

Hi,

I have similar problem as case 2 mentioned here. The thing is that I'm
running tests in NetBeans and I can't find a way to reach the value that is
stored in storeXPath-step. Line def groovyResult =
step.webtestProperties.fileName just gives some errors when I try to run
test.
