Hi Clinton, There is currently somenone asking the same question on HtmlUnit mailing list. The answer of HtmlUnit dev team is the new asText behavior is much more coherent with web browser behavior.
I'm affraid you will have to update your tests of keep using an old version of HtmlUnit/JWebUnit (it seems the change was done after HtmlUnit 1.8).

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.
