CasperJS version 1.1.0-beta3

casper.start(someLink);

function getUrl(link) {
    casper.thenOpen(basePath + link);
    casper.then(function() {

        var par1 = this.fetchText('body > table > tbody > tr > td > div > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td > table > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(2) > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(3) > td > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(4) > td:nth-child(2) > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td:nth-child(2) > strong > span')   
        this.echo(par1);
        var par2 = this.fetchText('body > table > tbody > tr > td > div > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(2) > td > table > tbody > tr > td:nth-child(2) > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(3) > td > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(4) > td:nth-child(2) > table > tbody > tr:nth-child(1) > td:nth-child(3) > strong > span')   
        this.echo(par2);

    });
}

getUrl(someRelativeUrl);

casper.run(function() {
  this.echo('DONE!');
});

Problem: par1 displays the right value, par2 is empty. I change their order, placing par2 before par1: in this case, par2 displays right and par1 is empty.

What am I doing wrong? Obviously, the fetchText lines are correct, and the CSS are correct, yet only the first one fetches: the next ones all remain empty.

Edit: Here's the actual html that gives the problems (stackoverflow somehow hides the section and the DOCTYPE from the code). As simple as it gets: Details 

<body>
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td><div align="center">

  • Does it change if you add `;` behind the `fetchText` calls? – Artjom B. Jul 17 '14 at 08:27
  • Nope, not working. Could it be some latency due to heavy calculations cause by the long css selector? I'm totally lost, after hours, I run into such issues, and programming stops being logical:( – Catalin Jul 17 '14 at 11:38
  • No, that can't be it, because `fetchText` is entirely synchronous. – Artjom B. Jul 17 '14 at 11:45
  • possible duplicate of [waitForSelector passes, but assertExists fails for the same selector](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/27835506/waitforselector-passes-but-assertexists-fails-for-the-same-selector) – Artjom B. Apr 12 '15 at 09:11
