Ik kan er dus momenteel niet op rekenen dat het bedrag van een eenmaal geplaatste bestelling door prijsaanpassingen in de periode daarna (tot het moment van levering) niet zal leiden tot een gewijzigd totaalbedrag.

@JumboSupermarkt

Zorgwekkend daarbij:

Deze foutieve prijs is verschenen NADAT ik een bestelling geplaatst had (maar voor de levering).

Echter, deze prijs is vervolgens wel met *terugwerkende kracht* (!) in het bestelbedrag, de digitale kassabon én (zelfs) de bestelgeschiedenis verwerkt!

@michaelbolton It's a tad more complicated than that, but yes. :-) However, education (e.g. on science) through social media instead of through (reading) actual books (e.g. Carnap, Popper, Kuhn, Lakatos or a more recent author) is what will *keep* the public poor (in more than one sense). TLDR.

@pekkaklarck @robotframework Sure, I'm on RF Slack; I'll DM you.

@pekkaklarck It's a proprietary scripting language, isn't it? At least, that is how I always introduce it in a work shop. :-)

Just executing some very basic test cases would have captured these issues. So I guess: all hail the much celebrated Spotify model. ;-)

@SpotifyNL Just changed my account to 'Family'. Encountered (and had to deal with) half a dozen bugs. Quite the (horrible) experience. I got it to work though (i.e. for now, I'd have to say), despite your software.

@jpd80 See my retweet. :-)

Haven't written that blog post yet. :-)

At the end of the day, an id is just another xpath expression. It is simply an attribute, just like any other attribute.

[Michael Hallik @michaelhallik]

Finally, most of the times I actually create locators dynamically, through (just a little) code. Through these xpath 'engines', there is no more need to write out locators at all.
