[Webtest] Another verifyXPath query question

[Tim Miller]

Denis,

Both of your suggestions return null and the closing span is not a typo.
I am looking into that with the developer right now.

Thanks,
Tim

Hi Tim

your xpath looks for:
<tr>
     <td>
       <span title=3D"OrdLineNum">76011-2</span>
         <td>
           <span title=3D"ProdId">76011</span>
         </td>
     </td>
</tr>

That is, with the 2nd td inside the first td -- provided that the way =20
the span are closed is a typo ;-)


What you want is either something like:
//table/tbody/tr[td/span[@title=3D'ProdId']]/td[2]
=3D~ locate the 2nd td in the tr in which a td has a span with the =20
title ProdId
or
//table/tbody/tr/td[span/@title=3D'ProdId']/following-sibling::td[1]
=3D~ locate the first td follwing a td with a span with the title ProdId

My experience with jaxen up to 1-1 beta 6, the version distributed =20
with webtest, is xpath with following-sibling work in more cases than =20
xpath with complicated selections.

The tbody is needed in all cases.


Happy webtesting

Exercise and tax refunds have something in common - a little is better
than none at all.
