From which version did you upgrade?
The problem is probably the : normally current version of WebTest
changes to normal spaces in xpath expressions so you should not
have to check for

Hi All,
Recently I have installed the WebTest 2.1. But after the upgradation of
WebTest, some of the webtests are failing.
I am forwarding small demo code which is used in the webtest.
If I run the given code with previous WebTest release, it is passing.
But when I used WebTest 2.1, it is failing.
So I am unable to sort out the solution for it.
The HTML code is -
<!-- verifyTextDemo.html FILE -->
<!DOCTYPE html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
<HTML>
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Demo code </TITLE>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<table cellPadding="0" cellSpacing="3" border="1">
<tr><th>Safek. acc.</th>
<th>Order Type</th>
<th>Limit price</th>
<th>Order Status</th>
<th>Channel</th>
<th>Nbr/Nom</th>
<th> Ticker</th>
<th>Avg. Exec. price</th></tr>
<tr><td>0050-350701-95</td>
<td>Buy Open</td>
<td>77.23</td>
<td>Accepted</td>
<td>FrontNet</td>
<td>100</td>
<td>UBSN0X48(CS)</td>
<td>111.256</td></tr>
</table>
</BODY>
</HTML>
The XML code is -
<!-- verifyTextDemo.xml -->
<project name="verifyTextDemo" basedir="." default="main">
<property name="webtest.home"
location="C:/Develop_7-0/WebTestCenter/distribution/WebTest" />
<import file="${webtest.home}/lib/taskdef.xml"/>
<target name="main">
<webtest name="myTest">
<steps>
<invoke
description="Get the Simple HTML Page"
url="file://C:/verifyTextDemo.html"/>
<storeProperty property="order.buyOrSell" value="Buy"/>
<storeProperty property="displayed.order.position"
value="Open"/>
<storeProperty property="order.kind"
value="#{order.buyOrSell} #{displayed.order.position}"/>
<verifyXPath xpath="//tr/td[2]/text()" text="#{order.kind}"/>
</steps>
</webtest>
</target>
</project>
and the failure message is -
<failure message="com.canoo.webtest.engine.StepFailedException:
xpath test: //tr/td[2]/text() evaluates to: Buy Open, expected value is:
Buy Open, Step: VerifyXPath at C:\verifyTextDemo.xml:13: with
(taskName="verifyXPath")"/>
Thanks in advance.
