I am trying to match the expected innerText of a paragraph with a text mock in an testcafe e2e test. The expected text is supposed to contain links (formed with react Link tags).
await browser.expect((await Component.method).statement).eql('this is the mock text');
But when the test is run the inner texts of these links are replaced by [object object]. As a result the test fails.
'AssertionError: this is [object object] text'. to deeply equal 'this is the mock text'
I will appreciate some insight on how to fix this?
In your code snippet, I see that you try to compare the statement "((await Component.method).statement)" with the expected string.
Then, TestCafe converts the statement to a string using a common way. I suggest you convert the statement to a string at your discretion and after that compare the actual string with the expected one.

I am posting the results of automated tests to an offline forum. It would be nice to include PASS/FAIL in the forum post title but I'm having some difficulties retrieving the ${TEST STATUS} value - (obviously a hard-coded value works fine) .
I've defined the following in common-variables.robot as:
${FORUM_TEST_RESULT}....${TEST STATUS}
then on publish-results.robot
Input Text....//*[#id="title"]....${FORUM_TEST_RESULT}
The error I get is: variable ${FORUM_TEST_RESULT} not found
I can see here: http://robotframework.org/robotframework/latest/RobotFrameworkUserGuide.html#listener-interface that ${TEST STATUS} can only be used as part of Teardown.
I'm not sure how to collect the value of ${TEST STATUS} in the context of my RF script.
e.g the very last thing my script does is post to a forum:
Input Text....//*[#id="title"]....${FORUM_TEST_RESULT}
but before that I obviously need to populate ${FORUM_TEST_RESULT} with the value of ${TEST STATUS) which you can only get on Teardown? Hope this makes sense.
Input Text is a keyword of Selenium2Library that types the given text into the text field of a web page. You need to start a browser session first and open the right page an then possibly wait for the element to become visible, for example like this:
Open Browser [URL of your site]
Wait Until Element Is Visible //*[#id="title"]
Input Text //*[#id="title"] ${FORUM_TEST_RESULT}
If you want to retrieve a text from a page (as your coment suggests) then you need to use the keyword Get Text which returns the text of the element identified by locator.
Get Text locator
I have the following text appearing on the success page of my application.
This is to confirm that your application has been received. Your Order Number is “#00007942”. If further instructions or any clarification is needed regarding your application, a representative will contact you.
Complete text having same property.
Please help me in extracting the value 00007942 and store it in variable.
First, get your text in your way.
String successMessage = driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("your selector")).getText(); // use locator of your wish
Now, use replace all non-digit from your string as follows-
String orderNumber = successMessage.replaceAll("\\D+", ""); // this replaces all non-digits from your previous string
there is no way to retrieve partial text in selenium webdriver.
Instead, you access the complete text of an Web Element using element.getText() in Java or element.text in python and store it as a String variable.
Then you process the string to retrieve the substring you want.
In all programming languages, there are many ways to achieve it. some of them are substring method, regular expression.
I am tring to find a button in a webpage using find elements, the page can contain one of the below button ID's.
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(#id,'topBtn')]"))
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(#id,'WSMplasticTop')]"))
driver.findElements(By.xpath("//*[contains(#id,'bottomApplyBtn')]"))
The above code is working as expected when i use the Firefox Driver, where as getting the below error when i run in Chrome Driver.
org.openqa.selenium.InvalidSelectorException: invalid selector: Unable to locate an element with the xpath expression //*[contains(#id='bottomApplyBtn')] because of the following error:
SyntaxError: Failed to execute 'evaluate' on 'Document': The string '//*[contains(#id='bottomApplyBtn')]' is not a valid XPath expression.
Just wanted to know whether i have done any mistake
Try to use
'//*[contains(#id,'bottomApplyBtn')]'
instead of
'//*[contains(#id='bottomApplyBtn')]'
When you are using contains method in your XPath expression, you basically are using an inbuilt method to find the element.
This method takes 2 parameters.
First the tag you in which you want to search.
Second is the actual text value which you are looking for inside the above tag.
Basically you have to call the method with 2 parameters and that 2 parameters should be comma separated.
So //*[contains(#id='bottomApplyBtn')] is wrong you should instead remove this = sign.
//*[contains(#id, 'bottomApplyBtn')]
|_______|____________________ Parameter 1
|__________________________________Parameter 2
Hope it helps!
I am going to a field, entering text, saving it, then going back to verify the value is still in the field.
$I->waitForText is not working. Not sure why. I am trying the following but getting the error below:
$I->canSeeInField("//form[#id='Foo']/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[3]/textarea", "123");
Sorry, I couldn't see in field "//form[#id='Foo']/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[3]/textarea","123":Failed asserting that two strings are equal.
Any ideas?
Thanks
If you are using WebDriver, you can just debug your page using makeScreenshot()
You can just use:
$value = $I->grabFromField('//form[#id='Foo']/table/tbody/tr[3]/td[3]/textarea');
and fill other fill with your value:
$I->fillField('#your_field_id', $value);
and than, just make a screenshot:
$I->makeScreenshot('name_of_your_screenshot');
Now check your debug folder with your image.
How can I check whether a given text string is present on the current page using Selenium?
The code is this:
def elem = driver.findElement(By.xpath("//*[contains(.,'search_text')]"));
if (elem == null) println("The text is not found on the page!");
If your searching the whole page for some text , then providing an xpath or selector to find an element is not necessary. The following code might help..
Assert.assertEquals(driver.getPageSource().contains("text_to_search"), true);
For some reason, certain elements don't seem to respond to the "generic" search listed in the other answer. At least not in Selenium2library under Robot Framework which is where I needed this incantation to find the particular element:
xpath=//script[contains(#src, 'super-sekret-url.example.com')]
A simpler (but probably less efficient) alternative to XPaths is to just get all the visible text in the page body like so:
def pageText = browser.findElement(By.tagName("body")).getText();
Then if you're using JUnit or something, you can use an assertion to check that the string you are searching for is contained in it.
assertThat("Text not found on page", pageText, containsString(searchText));
Using an XPath is perhaps more efficient, but this way is simpler to understand for those unfamiliar with it. Also, an AssertionError generated by assertThat will include the text that does exist on the page, which may be desirable for debugging as anybody looking at the logs can clearly see what text is on the page if what we are looking for isn't.
