whitespaces are removed when saved page

[Egita Sidorova]

whitespaces -trailing and preceeding are removed (php, selenium)

when selenium saves the page

i need to test that field has "   sss   ", but it is saved as "sss"

http://release.seleniumhq.org/selenium-core/1.0.1/reference.html

tried to use this guideline

but cannot figure out how to incorportate this ${space} into my code

http://code.google.com/p/selenium/issues/detail?id=755

here it mentions about the issue, but doesnt give the resolution

well

maybe bit of the code helps

i have field that does accept whitespaces trailing and preceeding, named "ipmi_sensor"

i use as normally type() function

$this->type('ipmi_sensor', '   some name   ');

what ideally should happen is the name that is saved in database and also on the form for the 'ipmi_sensor' field should be '   some name  '

but it trims it and saves only 'some name'

got solution, maybe others could use

javascript worked for me

first line sets the desired attribute value

second line retrieves same attribute value for further use

enjoy! :)

$this->getEval("this.browserbot.findElement('ipmi_sensor').value = '    asdf    ';");

var_dump($this->getEval("this.browserbot.findElement('ipmi_sensor').value;"));
