I have been doing some tests in order to figure out what is breaking the storeXpath task and this are my findings:
html: <div id="home"> <!-- COLUMNA 1 --> <div class="column"> <div id="c-185" class="block"> <div class="cb"> <div class="bt"> <div/> </div> <div class="i1"> <div class="i2"> <h3 class="i3"> <a href="http://www.olx.com/for-sale-cat-185 "> <strong>For Sale</strong> </a> This is the xpath I was using. //d...@id='home']/d...@class='column']/d...@class='block' and @id='c-185']/d...@class='cb']/d...@class='i1']/d...@class='i2']/h...@class='i3']/a It gets all the content until: //d...@id='home']/d...@class='column']/d...@class='block' and @id='c-185'] but if I try //d...@id='home']/d...@class='column']/d...@class='block' and @id='c-185']/d...@class='cb'] it doesn't find the element. So when "/d...@class='cb']" is added it breaks. I am not sure why it's breaking. Is there any way to create my own storeXPath or any other solution to this?
