Tapestry 5 and Selenium
Hi,
I've googled around but couldn't find solution for this one. The problem is
that we have to test a form that is loaded using progressive display which
makes all the ids to be generated for each request.
Now, how can I use selenium.type to locate the correct input, when the input
name changes like this:
request one: mpo-1258bc89493_0
request two: mpo-1258bcae418_0
request three: mpo-1258dfea345_0
Has anyone solved this?

Yep, that's what I was afraid of.
I don't have anything to base my opinion to, but I have a feeling that the
tests will be really easily broken if and when someone decides to change the
page layout etc.
This of course is not related to T5 at any level, but rather common problem.
And that's the only thing afaik that is holding us back from making more
business minded consultants to make n' bake their own tests. Well, that was
the dream anyway.. ;) (I suppose that given the nature of the best tools
today you have to be somewhat technology-aware to actually make meaning full
tests.)

Identify the fields using XPath instead of id.
