This is a simple guess but have you saved the file in UTF-8? I had to create some tests for our English site to verify we support Latin Char-1. I was able to use ~€Æñÿ in my tests with no problem but had to save the tests as "UTF-8 without BOM". If it was saved as ANSI then ant would throw an error about these characters: ~€Æñÿ. I don't mean to belittle you with such a simple suggestion but I had run across a similar problem till I changed the encoding to UTF-8 without BOM from ANSI, and this way if someone has the same problem they can search the list and find this solution. If this is not your problem could you please respond to the list with the error you are getting.
This works for me so the umlaut should definitely be doable: <verifyXPath xpath="//tbo...@id='preTechListTable']/tr/td[contains(.,'~€Æñÿ, ~€Æñÿ')]" description="Verify that Tech was added"/> -------------------------------------------------------- Hello, I have an HTML page that contains the following code: <li><span class="errorMessage">Wählen Sie eine Option aus.</span></li> With this code, the following verification step succeeds: <verifyText text='Wählen Sie eine Option aus.'/> However, I also want to verify that this text is surrounded by the <span class="errorMessage"> element, so I'm trying to use the following verifyXPath step: <verifyXPath xpath="//sp...@class='errorMessage' and text()='Wählen Sie eine Option aus.']"/> The XPath expression is correct, but the step fails because there is a problem with the umlaut character. I have tried several replacements for the ä in the XPath expression, e.g. ä and #xe3;, but the step keeps failing. What can I do?
