Currently the markup for messages in administrator looks like:
<div class="alert alert-success">
<h4 class="alert-heading">Message</h4>
<p>Configuration successfully saved.</p>
</div>
There is no easy way with Codeception and Selenium to place a locator for the message in the assertion:
$I->see('Configuration successfully saved.' );
// $I->waitForText('Configuration successfully saved.', 10, '.page-title');
// $I->see('Configuration successfully saved.','h3');
// $I->see('Configuration successfully saved.','#messages'); // with XPath
// $I->see('Configuration successfully saved.','.message'); // with XPathWe could probably add a css class to the messages because missing a xPath locator affects dramatically the performance of the test (see: https://docs.joomla.org/Testing_Joomla_Extensions_with_Codeception#Always_add_xPath_locators_to_your_tests)

I'm just guessing since I know nothing about Codeception, can you use the system-message-container div ID that the messages are wrapped in? You should have something like this for the full container:
<div id="system-message-container">
<button type="button" class="close" data-dismiss="alert">×</button>
<div class="alert alert-success">
<h4 class="alert-heading">Message</h4>
<p>Configuration successfully saved.</p>
</div>
</div>Then you should be able to do some sort of an advanced xpath using div#system-message-container div.alert-success p
Thanks Michael. Yup! you are right. That option is always there but the idea is that with a few tweaks in the Template (for example using more IDs properly) we can make the work of creating the system test much easier.
I plan to create several issues like this so we can review all them afterwards when we consider reviewing the admin template for 3.5
It will also make the logs look nicer, in the following example some elements are easily localizable and don't need XPath and some do (the XPath ones look not that cool):
Not 100% sure but it might be worth adding in an alert tag as well
