ok, go for it!

Things to consider:
- is 'A B' an exact match of 'A&nbsp:B' ?
good point
- still trimming whitespace, which is often around link labels?
no, since you pointed out that this is NOT an exact match
- 'false' is default for exactMatch (stay backwards compatible)
of course

thanks for your work

Subject: Re: [Webtest] I'm back to WebTest & question regarding
"clickLink" implementation ...


Hi Dierk,

I came across the same problem (again) and it took a while to figure out
the problem

+) I have a navigation bar containing link "Artist", "Genres", ....
+) there is a quick name search facility providing links "A", "B", "C"

When I used <clickLink label="A"/> it pick up the "Artist" link and not
my requested "A" - IMHO the current implementation looking for substring
to locate the link is non-intuitive.

Your proposed workaorund <clickElement xpath="//a[text()='A']" /> but
<clickLink> is still much more intuitive.

I would like to get my hands dirty by providing an extension to the
<clickLink> step ...

+) <clickLink exactMatch="true" label="A"> would look for an exact match
 without using trim as previously proposed

+) updating the docs


Any suggestions

Hi Sigi,



I finally got an excuse to work with Canoo WebTest again by setting up a
continuous integration platform using CC, JUnit, Canoo WebTest

and JMeter


;-)



I updated the Maven plug-in to work with the CC Build 1177 - the
official release will take some time though


cool. To get around the snapshot problem with ibiblio we consider
installing a 'repository' for the webtest pom under
webtest.canoo.com. (no final decision, yet)



<a>Madonna & Otto Von Wernherr</a>
<a>Fortress Madonna</a>


You have really interesting projects!



i.e. the implementation seems to be happy with a matching substring
therefore picking <a>Madonna & Otto Von Wernherr</a> and never the
<a>Madonna</a> in question.


Yep. that's on purpose, although the according doc seems to have
vanished from the attribute description (?).

You can use
<clickElement xpath="//a[text()='Madonna']" />

The purpose of the substring match in clickLink is to get
around problems with excessive whitespace in the label.

cheers
