options accessibility

[simoneb]

It would be nice to be able to access the options defined in a server definition inside, say, http get in order to construct the path of the request. Would allow some reuse of tests by parameterizing them with server options. Or maybe it's already possible but I couldn't figure out how. Example:

server "some server", :path => "/somepath"

http do
    get options[:path] do

Because of the way auger works, the cfg file code is evaluated at configuration time, and generates a configuration that is then run across multiple servers. So something like this won't work directly. The options passed to 'server' are specific options understood by the connection plugin (e.g. port, timeout, for http plugin).

What you want to do can be achieved using roles, e.g.:

project "Foo" do
  server "aaa", :somepath
  server "bbb", :otherpath

  [ :somepath, :otherpath ].each do |path|
    http do
      roles path
      get "/#{path}" do
        ...
      end
    end
  end
end

However, I'll have a think about a functional way to expose generic options.
