Hello, I started using the 2.2 JWebUnit release recently and found that many of my assertTextPresent calls have started failing. After some digging, I think I see why: it appears that assertTextPresent eventually calls HTMLUnit's DomNode.asText() method. The old asText() method ignored various HTML formatting (such as line separators) and also removed nbsp (non-breaking space) characters. In the newer code, this has changed. The asText() is now more aware of HTML formatting (includes line separators) and no longer strips nbsp.
Is anyone else struggling with this change? Do I need to update all my test code or should whoever changed asText() have been more considerate backward compatibility? Here is the relevant diff in HTMLUnit's DomNode code (see line 596 down): http://htmlunit.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/htmlunit/trunk/htmlunit/src/main/java/com/gargoylesoftware/htmlunit/html/DomNode.java?r1=3506&r2=3569 Thank you! ________________________________ The contents contained herein may contain confidential information.
