Hello,
In Webclient I am passing a variable trough URL to a test method, using:
[http://localhost:8080/servoy-webclient/ … ment/10444](http://localhost:8080/servoy-webclient/solutions/solution/test/method/onLoad/argument/10444)
Method onLoad is on main form (only form) and it is very simple, it is for testing:
a = arguments[0]
application.output(‘a=’+a)
And it outputs WebClient: a=undefined
Do you have any idea of what am I doing wrong? I thank you in advance!

Hello Diana,
In the url you can only use global methods.
Could you try the same with a global method?
