HtmlUnit asNormalizedText() returns empty string-CodePudding

I have this code:

HtmlPage rowPage = ...
String address1 = ((HtmlDivision)rowPage.getFirstByXPath("//div[contains(@class, 'client_address1')]")).asXml();
System.out.println("address1 = "   address1);
String address1_2 = ((HtmlDivision)rowPage.getFirstByXPath("//div[contains(@class, 'client_address1')]")).asNormalizedText();
System.out.println("address1_2 = "   address1_2);

and my output is:

address1 = <div >
  123 Somewhere ln
</div>

address1_2 =

I expect asNormalizedText() to return 123 Somewhere ln. What circumstances would cause asNormalizedText to return nothing?

CodePudding user response：

A bit more specific XPath would help

//div[contains(@class, 'client_address1')]/text()
