trouble using selenium with richfaces 3.3.3 final

[ajanz]

i try to write several selenium tests for my application. but i got an "invalid  xpath" expression, when i try to click on a list entry of a combo box or something else

i tried

selenium

.click("//[id='masterform:INPUTTEXT_comboboxButton']");

and got

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException

: ERROR: Invalid xpath [2]: //[id='masterform:INPUTTEXT_comboboxButton']

at com.thoughtworks.selenium.HttpCommandProcessor.throwAssertionFailureExceptionOrError(

HttpCommandProcessor.java:97)

at com.thoughtworks.selenium.HttpCommandProcessor.doCommand(

HttpCommandProcessor.java:91)

at com.thoughtworks.selenium.DefaultSelenium.click(

DefaultSelenium.java:167)

if i use

selenium

.click("masterform:INPUTTEXT_comboboxButton");

it is working.

what's wrong with the first expression?

Hi Sascha, it seems you tried to use wrong xpath expression, as far as I know you should use something like

//*[@id='masterform:INPUTTEXT_comboboxButton']

* can be optional, but @ is necessary to express the attribute's value

sorry @ was only here missing.

even

selenium

.click("//div[@id='masterform:INPUTTEXT_list']/span[3]");

is not working
