[Selenium-users] Part of locator string being dropped using driven mode

Fri, 08 Jul 2005 12:23:37 -0700

Hello-

I’m having a rather bizarre problem with part of the locator I’m using being dropped.  This is only a problem when using driven mode (.NET driver).  If I write up a similar HTML file, it works fine.  I have an element that looks like 
 
<a href="http://localhost/Web10Thunder/calendars/publishingpipelinetest" target="_blank">http://localhost/Web10Thunder/calendars/publishingpipelinetest</a> 


 



that I want to click on.  I’ve tried the
following



 



selenium.VerifyTextPresent("http://localhost/Web10Thunder/calendars/publishingpipelinetest",
""); 



selenium.ClickAndWait("//a[.=\"http://localhost/Web10Thunder/calendars/publishingpipelinetest\"]"); 



 



and in both cases the calendars/ from the
middle of the string gets dropped, so the commands fail.  This makes no
sense to me.  I’ve debugged into the .NET driver and verified that
the command string gets constructed as "|clickAndWait|//a[.=\"http://localhost/Web10Thunder/calendars/publishingpipelinetest\"]||",
and that the web request looks correct.  However, upon execution of the
command, I get the following in the _javascript_ Log Console: Error: Element
http://localhost/Web10Thunder/publishingpipelinetest not found. Furthermore, if
I change the string to "http://localhost/Web10Thunder/calendars/calendars/publishingpipelinetest" then it
works.  



 



Has anyone ever seen a problem like this, or any idea how
the string is getting changed??



 



Thanks,



Chloe
