Selector not working as expected

[Ben Frey]

I'm starting a new project that logs in to my company's web site. I had an old project that I had working, but our pages have changed somewhat since then. I can use the browser console to select the element in question via
$$(".some-long-css-class")
(the element has a few other classes as well, but the browser still correctly finds the single element with that class). However, Geb does not find this class in my at method:

static at = { $('.some-long-css-class').text() == 'Welcome' }

this selector returns an empty array, so text() returns null. What could be going wrong here?

Hello Ben, 
possibly the element becomes available only after the page has completely finished loading.
You could try enabling "at-check waiting" or do something like

    waitFor {

        $('.some-long-css-class').text() == 'Welcome'   

    }

in your at-checker.

Does that work?

Can you post us the code or a screenshot of the DOM with the element in question?

That fixed it, thanks!
