Help with JSFUnit flagging errors of duplicate ids with components that share same suffix...

Hi Everyone,

It seems JSFUnit thinks there are duplicaite ids; if two components share the same suffix.

For example component 1 <h:inputText id="password" />
And example component 2 <h:outputText id="forgotpassword" />

It thinks those are duplicate components when I try to references
them...I think I saw a bug on the Forum about it...I wonder if this is some issue that gets fixed with the 1.3.0 release as opposed
to the 1.2.0 release I'm using.

This is a good description of the problem here...

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hi Chris,

It's actually not a bug. While 99% of the time you can just refer to the component ID you used in your markup, sometimes you have to be more specific. JSFUnit does a simple suffix match to find the component in an HTML page. UsingComponentIDs for all the details on handling client ID's.

Also see WritingJSFUnitTests.

In your case, you could just use ":password" to refer to the the password. Or use the enclosing naming container like "form1:password".
