Re: [Webtest] How can I get a value from XPath and use elsewhere in my test?

[Florent Blondeau]

Hi Mick,

you should take a look at <storeXPath> which store the result of an 
xpath evaluation in a variable
that you can use later in your test script

I have an XPath Value:
String FIRST_ITEM_XPATH = "text(//t...@class='listItem', 
first()]/a[first()])"


Here is the generated html on the page I am testing that I want to get:

                    <tbody>
                        <tr class="odd">


                            <td class="listItem"><a href="/divr/contextConfig/show/1 
<view-source:http://localhost:8080/divr/contextConfig/show/1>">*1*</a></td>


                            <td></td>
                            <td>performDeviceRefreshBySerialNumber_CTIMEOUT</td>                        


                            <td>10</td>                        
                            <td></td>                        


                        </tr>
  


Basically, I want the Name of the first link so I can click that link.

How can I assign this to a variable, then us it like:

clickLink(label:'${firstLink}') // or something like this...?
