Have you tried the easyajax config option (http://www.nabble.com/Ajax-Testing-to16051425.html#a16051885)? Or adding a sleep statement before the verifyText to wait for the text to appear. I think what is happening is that WebTest loads the page and then moves on to verifying the text but ajax hasn't finished loading the text.

WebTest appeared to be a strong contender from the documentation, however that turned out not to be the case in practice. I am using the Petstore 2.0 application from Sun's Blueprints as a basis for test, as this has a lot of AJAX stuff in it. Simple assertions fail as WebTest apparently does not see the text that is displayed via AJAX. Here is a trivial test which fails: <project default="test"> <target name="test"> <webtest name="check that petstore categories can be found by clicking images"> <invoke url="http://localhost:51492/petstore/faces/index.jsp"; description="Go to Petstore 2.0"/> <verifyTitle text="Java Pet Store Reference Application" /> <clickElement xpath="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]"browse('Dogs')"]" /> <verifyText text="Beach Dog"/> <clickElement xpath="//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'/petstore/images/banner_logo.gif']" description="Main Page" /> </webtest> </target> </project> It cannot find any text of the page. If I click on the failed step (verifyText) Page link, it displays a page with almost no text. What am I doing wrong? In addition, XPath expressions that work in Selenium-RC or Watir fail in WebTest. For example, on the home page for Petstore, the images on the left which are displayed as a dojo pick list can be accessed and clicked on via the XPath //[EMAIL PROTECTED]"/petstore/images/dogs_icon.gif"] in either Watir or Selenium. Also, the WebTest recorder recognizes this as a valid XPath expression but a <verifyXPath /> fails as does any use of it in a test. Am I missing something?
