Did you actually try this definition? The check for text tests against the
textContent of an element. The textContent of your <a> element is still "Foo"
even though there is also a <span> in the dom.
If this a reduced example and the actual dom has whitespace between the
elements then you might need to use the definition;
ui.UrlLink(uid: "TheLink", clocator : [tag :"a", text : "*Foo"])
in order to match the link that contains the text Foo.
Another alternative solution (if the order of the links i guaranteed) would be;
ui.Container(id:'menu', clocator:[tag:'div', 'class': 'menu') {
UrlLink(id:'foo', clocator: [position: '1'])
}
click 'menu.foo'
Which will then click on the first link in the containing element.
