If you go to the following page…

and inspect one of the child photos on the page…
image

But when I execute the following…
,
{
“Command”: “verifyElementPresent”,
“Target”: “xpath=‘//a[@href=’${GlobalChildImageBaseMediaURL}/child-photos/latest/${ChildIdentifier}.jpg’]'”,
“Value”: “”
}
where…GLOBALCHILDIMAGEBASEMEDIAURL= “https://media.children.org”
and ChildIdentifier=1312379

…I get the following in the log…
[error][ignored]

‘xpath=’//a[@href=‘https://media.children.org/child-photos/latest/1312379.jpg’]'’ element not present

It looks like it should match but for some reason isn’t finding the element.

Yes. This Xpath is not working. But it works with a different XPath or CSS selector:

{
  "Name": "test1",
  "CreationDate": "2019-5-24",
  "Commands": [
    {
      "Command": "open",
      "Target": "https://ciwebstage.children.org/make-a-difference/sponsor-a-child",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "comment",
      "Target": "click // xpath=//*[@id=\"mm-0\"]/div[1]/section[5]/div/div[2]/ul/li[2]/div[1]/a/img",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "click",
      "Target": "xpath=//img[@alt='Help Patrick M. by becoming a child sponsor. Sponsoring a child is a rewarding and heartwarming experience.']",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "open",
      "Target": "https://ciwebstage.children.org/make-a-difference/sponsor-a-child",
      "Value": ""
    },
    {
      "Command": "click",
      "Target": "css=.row:nth-child(2) .person-card:nth-child(2) .child-search-img",
      "Value": ""
    }
  ]
}

But I want to check the href attribute of the element to make sure that it will send the user back to that specific URL. Are you saying there is not a way to do this?

There is a way for everything in kantu :wink:

In this case, you can use storeValue** | Locator@href | var to extract the URL, and then compare it with the expected value.
