Bug 174498 – Web Automation: link and partial link queries don't work if the link contains formatting tags

• Status: RESOLVED
• Resolution: FIXED
• Component: WebKit2

[Carlos Garcia Campos]

So, for example, if we find links with text "Foo" and there's a link like <a href=""><bA>Foo</b></a> we fail with no such element error. This causes test test_Link_With_Formatting_Tags to fail.

_________________________________________________________________________ test_Link_With_Formatting_Tags[WebKitGTK] __________________________________________________________________________

driver = <selenium.webdriver.webkitgtk.webdriver.WebDriver (session="38543e9a-0de3-40ae-9cb8-af4e20f27c58")>, pages = <conftest.Pages object at 0x7fdba75e2490>

    def test_Link_With_Formatting_Tags(driver, pages):
        pages.load("simpleTest.html")
        elem = driver.find_element(By.ID, "links")
    
>       res = elem.find_element(By.PARTIAL_LINK_TEXT, "link with formatting tags")

E       NoSuchElementException: Message:

../selenium/webdriver/remote/errorhandler.py:193: NoSuchElementException

I think we could simply use descendant-or-self::text() instead of just text() in the links xpath expressions.
