Originally reported on Google Code with ID 6055

Firefox 23.0 upgraded and getAttribute has "invalid xpath" error

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. string action = ISelenium.GetAttribute(@"//form[@name='form1']@action");
2. html

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<body>
<form name="form1" method="post" action="Page.aspx?p=1234" id="form1">
</form>
</body>
</html>

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Same here. Invalid xpath error in both Selenium IDE 2.2.0 and Selenium RC 2.34.0

For me, using the Selenium 1 API with something like:

isElementPresent(xpath=//label[contains(text(), '100% SDV Required?')])

no longer works.

this is a duplicate of 6057.

Funny thing is 2.34 server was just released to fix incompatibility with FF22 release!
 Now FF23 breaks server again!

I am seeing this issue as well. Re-installing Firefox 22 fixed everything and confirmed
that Firefox 23 was the culprit.

Yes same here my regression scripts have suddenly started breaking with invalid xpath
errors. Firefox 23 and Selenium 2.2.0

Example xpath that breaks "//button[@type='submit']"

Confirmed. Upgrading to FF23 breaks all Selenium IDE scripts using XPath selectors

I see the assigned component is IDE ... I hope the fix will be propagated to the RC
as well :)

I made some tweaks in 8ea08fc7daa7 that may have fixed this. If possible, can you please
retest?

his does not fix my problem using Selenium RC (with FF23), as things like the following
have been failing for me in selenium-server-standalone-2.34.x but were working fine
before in prior Selenium releases, prior FF releases. 

selenium.click("//li[contains(@class, 'on')]//a[text() = 'Audit Trail']")

which results in:

com.thoughtworks.selenium.SeleniumException: ERROR: Invalid xpath [2]: //li[contains(@class,
'on')]//a[text() = 'Audit Trail']
