Would like to turn off WebTest browser progress window ...

[Ken Hopf]

Folks,

I'm trying to run WebTest totally in the background on a linux OS.  I know how to prevent the concluding overview from popping up in a browser at the end.  But does anyone know how to suppress the browser progress window?
We just don't need to see this, as WebTest will run in the wee hours from the crontab anyway (besides, the browser is funky).  I looked through webtest.xml, but didn't see any obvious var I could set to suppress this window.
Does anyone out there know how to do it?

Thank You,

I don't know how to do that, but if by any chance you use CruiseControl for builds, we just run our WebTests as part of a build process, it integrates very well and you don't have to worry about any windows popping up.

from webtest.xml's description:
-------------------------
Important properties that can be set before the import statement to
configure the execution:
- wt.headless: allows to skip all "goodies" that make only sense when
test are started manually

Just run webtest in the normal way, but add -Dwt.headless=true as an option on the command-line.
e.g., webtest.sh -Dwt.headless=true

That will prevent WebTest monitor from opening, and will also prevent WT from automatically opening the results of the test in a web browser.
