Hi John & Paul,
verifyText in the current version is misleading. I think that we should
deprecate it and rename it to something like verifyResponseText.
Nevertheless we need a step to verify text in the current state of the
page. verifyText is probably the best name, but it makes the deprecation
complicated.
We need to precisely define how this "new verifyText" should work. For
instance I guess that <*new verifyText* text="Hello John"/> should pass for
Hello <em>John</em>
but what is with
Hello <div>John</div>
or
<table>
<tr>
<td>Hello</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>John</td>
</tr>
</table>
Cheers,
Marc.
