How to get WACT via SVN

The current version of WACT has not been released and is currently only available from SVN. More information about SVN is available on SourceForge

Running the WACT test suite requires that SimpleTest be installed and located in the include_path inside the directory named simpletest. WACT Also requires that the PEAR package FSM be installed and available in the include_path.

Use the svn checkout command.

svn co https://wact.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/wact/trunk/ wact

This will create a wact directory with the most current version of WACT.

If you want to be able to run the example programs, or use the web based test runner, you must checkout your wact directory into the document root of your test server. Alternatively, you can use the apache Alias command to map the wact directory into your document root.

Alias /wact/ "/path/to/wact/"

You will also need to either copy the wact command from /bin into a directory that is in your shell path, or preferably add the /bin directory in your to your shell path.

You will need to add the the wact directory to your include path.
