[Question] Some xpath selector not found with seeElement() in functional testing

Hi all,

I wanna test ajax response in one of my controller.

This is my cest method :




    public function testAjaxFormTambah(Admin $I)

    {

        $I->loginAsAdmin();

        $I->amOnPage([ '/backend/departemen/index' ]);

        $I->sendAjaxGetRequest(Url::to([ '/backend/departemen/tambah' ]), []);

        // Display output for debugging

        codecept_debug($I->getYii2()->client->getResponse()->getContent());

        $I->see('Tambah Departemen');

        $I->see('Departemen');

        // Four lines below for debugging purpose, testing xpath

        $I->seeElement('//div[@class="box"]');

        $I->seeElement('//h3[@class="box-title"]');

        $I->seeElement('//div[@class="box-body"]');

        $I->seeElement('//*[@class="box-footer"]');

        // I actually wanna test this line below

        $I->seeElement('//input[@id="departemen-namadepartemen"]');

        $I->see('Simpan');

    }



This is my Step Object which I use on above cest method




<?php


namespace Step\Functional;


use app\models\User;


class Admin extends \FunctionalTester

{


    public function loginAsAdmin()

    {

        $I = $this;

        $I->amOnPage([ '/user/default/login' ]);

        $I->submitForm('#login-form', [

            'LoginForm' => [

                'username' => 'r00t',

                'password' => '1234',

                'rememberMe' => true,

            ],

        ]);

        $I->seeCookie('_identity');

        $cookie = $I->grabCookie('_identity');

        $I->setCookie('_identity', $cookie);

        $I->seeCurrentUrlEquals('/index-test.php/arungistrator');

    }


}



This is ajax response content from my action




  <div class="box box-primary box-solid">

      <div class="box-header with-border">

          <h3 class="box-title">Tambah Departemen</h3>

          <div class="box-tools pull-right">

              <button type="button" id="df_cancel" class="btn btn-box-tool"><i class="fa fa-times"></i><span class="sr-only">Tutup</span></button>        </div>

      </div>

  

      <form id="dept_form" action="/index-test.php/arungistrator/departemen/tambah" method="post">

      <div class="box-body">

                  <div class="form-group field-departemen-namadepartemen required">

  <label class="control-label" for="departemen-namadepartemen">Departemen</label>

  <input type="text" id="departemen-namadepartemen" class="form-control" name="Departemen[NamaDepartemen]">

  

  <div class="help-block"></div>

  </div>

    </div>

  

      <div class="box-footer">

          <button type="submit" id="df_submit" class="btn btn-primary"><i class="icons ion-checkmark-round"></i>&nbsp;&nbsp;Simpan</button>    </div>

  

      </form>

  </div>

  <script type="text/javascript">jQuery('#dept_form').yiiActiveForm([{"id":"departemen-namadepartemen","name":"NamaDepartemen","container":".field-departemen-namadepartemen","input":"#departemen-namadepartemen","validate":function (attribute, value, messages, deferred, $form) {yii.validation.required(value, messages, {"message":"Anda harus mengisi Nama Departemen"});}},{"id":"departemen-namadepartemen","name":"NamaDepartemen","container":".field-departemen-namadepartemen","input":"#departemen-namadepartemen","validate":function (attribute, value, messages, deferred, $form) {yii.validation.required(value, messages, {"message":"Anda harus mengisi Nama Departemen"});}}], []);</script>



Finally I execute cest method with --debug option, this is the output

The question is why codeception could not find class box-footer, but found other classes that I wrote?

I’m not sure what’s wrong, my xpath selector or something else.

Thanks in advance :D
