How to convert results.xml to html

Necessary steps to produce a html result view like

Set the attributes "summary" and "saveresponse" in your config-task to true.

<webtest name="myTest">
   <config
      host="www.myserver.com"
      port="8080"
      protocol="http"
      basepath="myApp"
      summary="true"
      saveresponse="true" />}

Create a new macrodef(or target, whatever you like) in your build file, using the following code. It's actually taken from the file webtestsRunner.xml from the current webtest build. I only added the responseBrowser includes in the copy task.

<property name="webtest.config.resultpath" value="${basedir}/webtest-results"/>
<property name="webtest.config.resultfile" value="results.xml"/>
<property name="webtest.config.resultfile.html" value="${webtest.config.resultpath}/results.html"/><macrodef name="formatResults" description="formats the xml result file using the xslt">
<sequential>
   <tstamp>
      <format property="report.time" pattern="dd.MM.yyyy HH:mm" locale="de"/>
   </tstamp>
   <property name="resources.dir" value="${webtest.home}/resources"/>
   <style
      basedir="${webtest.config.resultpath}"
      destdir="${webtest.config.resultpath}"
      includes="${webtest.config.resultfile}"
      force="true"
      extension=".html"
      style="${resources.dir}/WebTestReport.xsl">
      <param name="reporttime" expression="${report.time}"/>
      <param name="title" expression="${ant.project.name}"/>
   </style>
   <!-- copy resources needed by the html page to the same dir: the report must be ok too when opened from filesystem (without webserver) -->
   <copy todir="${webtest.config.resultpath}">
      <fileset dir="${resources.dir}">
         <include name="report.css"/>
         <include name="showHide.js"/>
         <include name="images/*.*"/>
         <include name="responseBr*.*"/>
      </fileset>
   </copy>
   <echo message="Webtest result overview available in ${webtest.config.resultfile.html}"/>
</sequential>
</macrodef>

Now you can execute the target or call the macro after your test and it will create a nice formatted html view. Put attention to the 'result page' link; ctrl+click will open the responseBrowser which is a great way to go through your tests. I don't know why this feature is nowhere documented, so I had to write this ;)
