FirePath does not locate Xpaths starting with UpperCase letters

[Shalini]

Hi ,

I started using Firepath to validate xpaths. I realized that FirePath
is not able to validate xpaths that start with an upper case letter
for instance //div[contains(text(), "Foo.Bar")] . However if I do
search for an xpath that start with a lower case , I see matching
nodes.
Has anyone else encountered this ?

Thanks,
Shalini

Hi Shalini,

This is a bug. If you replace the double quotes(") with a simple quote(') it should work.

//div[contains(text(), 'Foo.Bar')]
