Bug 174499 – Web Automation: link and partial link queries don't work if text link contains trailing or leading whitespaces

• Component: WebKit2
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

This is causing test test_Driver_Can_Get_Link_By_Link_Test_Ignoring_Trailing_Whitespace to fail. The selenium atoms don't use xpath for links, they use css query to get all links and then they compare with the *visible* text. I think we can keep using xpath, though, but using normalize-space() function to compare with the given text.

Patch

This won't apply because it depends on patch attached to bug #174498. Note also that this still doesn't fix test_Driver_Can_Get_Link_By_Link_Test_Ignoring_Trailing_Whitespace, but now it fails because of our poor implementation of GetText:

Me neither :-P Note that the spec explicitly says we should apply the visible text algorithm here, but just normalizing spaces will cover mot of the cases I think, anyway.
