Hi,
it is possible to define and register custom XPath functions (look in
WebTest sources at the CleanTextFunction for instance) but I would be
carefully here as it is an area that has changed due to migration to
HtmlUnit-2.1 and that may change again.
In your case, what about just
<groovy>
def links =
step.context.currentResponse.getByXPath("//[EMAIL PROTECTED]'mybreadcrumb']/div
> /div/div[1]/a")
def link = links.size() > 1 ? links[-2] : links[-1]
link.click()
</groovy>
Cheers,
Marc.
