Thanks, Goran:
But I am trying t manipulate action_params itself. II have a workaround for now. Deco On Jul 19, 2008, at 3:26 PM, Göran Törnquist wrote: > The action_params tag returns an array.

No matter how much you'll find a workaround, you're creating
dependencies on underlying data structures. That is really bad since the action_params array is documented as read only, and in the future the way it works internally may change. So, in my opinion, you're creating a maintenance nightmare. The way I showed you, is documented. I stand by my recommendation even though it will be a tiny bit slower than your solution. /Göran Deco Rior wrote: > Thanks, Goran: > > But I am trying t manipulate action_params itself. > > II have a workaround for now. > > Deco > On Jul 19, 2008, at 3:26 PM, Göran Törnquist wrote: > >> The action_params tag returns an array.

I agree with you.
My workaround does not change the structure. I am working on extending Greg L-Unit into an Integration frame work and as such need to simulate forms being passed into these structures. It just means that I have to modify a large number of pages to accommodate the test framework. Unfortunately the method you describe does not work in this case. In general, I never pass the action_params directly into any tag or inline. So my workaround is this: If I am in test mode, I do not populate variables from action_params, but do so directly. So I am modifying my files to accommodate essentially overwriting the action_params for the test framework. I hope this makes sense? If I used more XML I would just be inserting an XML test data set instead of what was passed from an external action. So I have to simulate this much more cryptically.

I saw that Jason took a shot on this one, but I'm
set to follow through on it anyway. Here's the deal. If you wrap an include in an inline, it will essentially be working as a simulated environment that provides with action_params for the include. So, the following will work out as you want it to be. var:'myvar' = 1; var:'myvar' = 'smith'; var:'testmode' = boolean:true; // turn on the test; var:'debug' = boolean:true; // turn on the timer; inline('myvar1'=2, 'myvar2'=3); output_none; // cause we are just testing here! include:'responseToBetested.lasso'; /output_none; /inline; testresults; // Greg's modified L-unit timerstats; // Jason's timer :-) The cool thing about this is that the code that is supposed to be tested (in responseToBeTested.lasso) will not need to know anything about the testing conditions.

I use a similar approach as the L-Unit test environment.
IIRC, in the early days (Lasso 3) you used an inline with the -reuseparams param. With Lasso Professional 5 it changed to simply use any params you included in the inline to the action_params array. The downside is that if you make an inline without adding action_params to the inline params, then you won't have any action_params at all from the request. Makes sense? Maybe not. But I guess Jasons previous example makes it quite clear. /Göran At 17.26 -0400 08-07-20, decorior@... wrote: >Yes, thanks a bunch. that worked great. > >Wow that will save me a bunch of code changes. > >I had not realized I could effectively overwrite >the action params with a wrapper inline.
