Hi Dierk,

I came across the same problem (again) and it took a while to figure out the problem

+) I have a navigation bar containing link "Artist", "Genres", .... +) there is a quick name search facility providing links "A", "B", "C"

When I used <clickLink label="A"/> it pick up the "Artist" link and not my requested "A" - IMHO the current implementation looking for substring to locate the link is non-intuitive.

Your proposed workaorund <clickElement xpath="//a[text()='A']" /> but <clickLink> is still much more intuitive.

I would like to get my hands dirty by providing an extension to the <clickLink> step ...

+) <clickLink exactMatch="true" label="A"> would look for an exact match without using trim as previously proposed

+) updating the docs

Any suggestions

Hi Sigi,

I finally got an excuse to work with Canoo WebTest again by setting up a continuous integration platform using CC, JUnit, Canoo WebTest and JMeter

;-)

I updated the Maven plug-in to work with the CC Build 1177 - the official release will take some time though

cool. To get around the snapshot problem with ibiblio we consider installing a 'repository' for the webtest pom under webtest.canoo.com. (no final decision, yet)

<a>Madonna & Otto Von Wernherr</a> <a>Fortress Madonna</a>

You have really interesting projects!

i.e. the implementation seems to be happy with a matching substring therefore picking <a>Madonna & Otto Von Wernherr</a> and never the <a>Madonna</a> in question.

Yep. that's on purpose, although the according doc seems to have vanished from the attribute description (?).

You can use <clickElement xpath="//a[text()='Madonna']" />

The purpose of the substring match in clickLink is to get around problems with excessive whitespace in the label.

cheers Mittie
