Could not evaluate XPath (Behat/Mink) -


i'm using following function:

    /**     * click on element provided xpath query     *     * @when /^i click on element xpath "([^"]*)"$/     */    public function iclickontheelementwithxpath($xpath)    {        $session = $this->getsession(); // mink session        $element = $session->getpage()->find('xpath',$session->getselectorshandler()->selectortoxpath('xpath', $xpath)); // runs actual query , returns element         // errors must not pass silently        if (null === $element) {            throw new \invalidargumentexception(sprintf('could not evaluate xpath: "%s"', $xpath));        }         // ok, let's click on        $element->click();     }

in featurecontext.php trying click on button following xpath (the behat step is): when click on element xpath

//html/body/div[4]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[4]/div/div/div/div[2]/ol/li/span[4]/a[1]

firebug happy xpath, behat giving me error:

could not evaluate xpath: "//html/body/div[4]/div/div/div/div[2]/div[2]/div[4]/div/div/div/div[2]/ol/li/span[4]/a[1]"

what doing wrong?

here example of behat on w3schools, trying click on "try yourself" button": 

             feature: xpath try on w3schools.com/tags/att_input_src.asp               scenario: click button on xpath                @javascript              when go "/tags/att_input_src.asp"                , click on element xpath "/html/body/div/div[3]/div[6]/div/a[1]"                , wait 5 seconds              should on "tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_input_src"

gives same error, not evaluate xpath, xpath on firebug shows correct button...

i had same problem. appears need ommit /html/body. me

//div[2]/div/div[2]/div/table/tbody/tr/td[3]

works fine.
