Compare different paths on different domains

[huang-jy]

Wraith relies on the same path on both domains. However, we have a use case where the same page has a different path from server A compared to server B, yet we still want to compare the two.

For example, you may have a page at a CMS (server A) which is available at

http://servera/internal/finance/ready/homepage.html

But when it's on the external, internet-facing server, the path is rewritten. For example, like this

http://serverb/finance/

Even though these two are the same page, but with different paths, wraith can't compare the two using the capture command as it will show a 404 on one of the servers depending on which value we use for the path clause.

Is there a way we can do this?

I found one way of doing this, and that is to "bounce" the request via an nginx docker container, that produces a redirect to the other path. Seems overkill for something that can be done within Wraith...

Add base_path and compare_path options for paths #585

If somebody is interested in this, on top of above great patch from @stevenday, the next very basic patch from https://gist.github.com/pivica/56014df4a0c6054c2f4d6c0a3abfbc35 adds support for base_path and compare_path selectors like:

paths:
  different-source-and-target:
    base_path:             /source-path
    base_path_selector:    ".source-path-selector"
    compare_path:          /different-target-path
    compare_path_selector: ".compare-path-selector"

I'm still interested in this -- though I haven't had much chance to test Wraith recently.
