Hi, In the projects I have worked on we have used helper Path objects for testing which describe how to find a child of a given Component. In first sight it looks like we are duplicating the component tree and this is almost true but it helps a lot for such kind of problems because the Path helper hides these details from you and if you change something in the original component hierarchy then you need to fix only the related Path object and all your tests work again. Otherwise you have to fix the component path in all tests where you use it.
Another approach is to use MarkupContainer#visitChildren() + IVisitFilter. In your example: VisitorHelper.getComponentPath(form, "firstname", TextField.class) i.e. the helper will find the single child with type TextField and id "firstName" down in the hierarchy. From there on is easy to recreate the component path back to the root (the form in this case). The second approach sounds good enough for me to be included in WicketTester ...
