Markus,

I have to admit that I don't understand what you're asking.  In particular

In "advance" of what?  Are you trying to determine the Xpath at test time?

> It is sufficient to know that a XPath exists. I do not need  necessarily
to know the
> XPath itself.

Can you rephrase this?  It doesn't make sense to me.

Subject: [Webtest] reverse verifyXPath: verifyText

Hello

I'm quite new to canoo WebTest.

 
Sometimes I do not know the XPath of an element
in advance and I was searching for a method to
retrieve the XPath for given attribute value. It
is sufficient to know that a XPath exists. I do
not need  necessarily to know the XPath itself.


That means instead of
<verifyXPath description="simple match with value"
        xpath="/html/head/title"
        text="Canoo WebTest"/>

something like

<verifyText description="Test if an XPath exists"
        text="Canoo WebTest"/>

regardless if the text appears multiple times.

Ragrads, Markus
