| Issue | Potential fix | Remark |
|---|---|---|
| Element cannot be found although it's there | add a delay | querying fro an element (AbstractMagnoliaUITest#getElementByPath(By)) will explicitly try for 5 seconds - if the test triggers a long running action (e.g. activation) this can take even longer so we might have to add an additional, explicit delay |
| Element is found although it should be gone | add a delay | unlike in the case where we check for existence of an element we don't have any implicit or explicit delay here - if the element needs some time to go away (e.g. Overlay fadeout) we have to add an explicit delay |
| Input field value cannot be queried with xpath | dont use xpath | input[@class = 'classname' and @value = 'form input...'] could be changed to input[@class = 'classname] and use WebElement.getAttribute("value") to query the input value. |
If you find it hard to create XPath queries, you might find these Firefox plugins helpful:
- Firebug + FirePath (depending on Firebug), which makes it easy to test xpath statements
