I have a test file that includes the following code. The page opens up and the first three tests run but the next 3 don’t run. They don’t fail. They just don’t run.

my $sel = Test::WWW::Selenium->new(
    host         => 'localhost',
    port         => 4444,
    browser      => 'firefox',
    browser_url  => $uri,
    singlewindow => 1,
);

$sel->open_ok('/');
$sel->is_element_present_ok('username');
$sel->is_element_present_ok('password');
$sel->is_text_present('Username');
$sel->is_text_present('Password');
$sel->is_text_present('Login');

Then I log into the form.

$sel->type("name=username", $username);
$sel->type("name=password", $password);
$sel->submit('dom=document.forms["formfield"]');
$sel->is_text_present('Change Log');

I’m able to log in and the text ‘Change Log’ is present on the page but the test never runs. The test for text that doesn’t exist doesn’t run either.

$sel->is_text_present('Fee based gumbo');

Anyone know why these tests wouldn’t be running?

I also have a test for a link

<a style="text-decoration:none;" href="/settings">Settings</a>

as

$sel->click('//a[contains(@href, "/settings")]');

That causes the test to crash. Is there a reason why that wouldn’t be found?

EDIT:

I’d been using the WWW::Selenium page, not Test::WWW::Selenium.

This module is a WWW::Selenium subclass providing some methods useful for writing tests. For each Selenium command (open, click, type, …) there is a corresponding <command>_ok method that checks the return value (open_ok, click_ok, type_ok).

The xpath problem $sel->click('//a[contains(@href, "/settings")]'); simply just needed the double quotes removed.
