Heyo. I see from WT-253 that the issue around namespaces in XPath verification has been closed. I cannot figure out how to make it work.
In a relatively simple XML document with a default namespace (xmlns="http://www.example.com/"; on the root element, "response"), none of the following work: <verifyXpath xpath="/response/getCurrentUser/name" value="name" /> (error: no node matched) (this is expected; it shouldn't match) <verifyXpath xmlns:ex="http://www.example.com/"; xpath="/response/getCurrentUser/name" value="name" /> (error: prefix must be declared) Similarly if the namespace declaration is promoted to the containing "webtest" element and beyond. This thread: http://lists.canoo.com/pipermail/webtest/2006q4/007358.html (from 2006) points at other threads that suggest solving things with a small groovy script. The pointed-at script is no longer correct (null pointer), but a little patience leads one to step.context.getXPathHelper().registerGlobalNamespace("ex", "http://www.example.com/";), which also yields: prefix must be declared. And yet the issue was closed, for 2.5. I can't find any examples of how to do it "right", though. Anyone have a pointer? It would be nice to have <namespace prefix="ex" uri="http://www.example.com/"; /> as child elements of "config", but I don't see any indication that it might be so straightforward. I might have to patch it to do that (that way the namespaces would be defined in a reasonably predictable location, and valid for all the documents processed within the containing webtest element, presumably), but I thought that I should ask first, and see if someone can point me at an existing solution. Oh, I'm using the 3.0 distribution, rather than the nightly. Amy! -- Amelia A.

(In the UK, which is seeing a vigorous popular backlash against "fat cat" pay packets, the ratio is 24:1). -- The Register _______________________________________________ WebTest mailing list [email protected] http://lists.canoo.com/mailman/listinfo/webtest
