Using I.Expect.Text with fluentautomation - selenium

Does I.Expect.Text("sometext") require the In method with specified selector?
I ask ask as some tests I've inherited don't have the In method appended, and our tests pass, even when I know that the supplied text does not exist on page.
I have looked at the docs, re http://fluent.stirno.com/docs/#asserts-text - and it doesn't seem clear (to me anyhow) that the In selector HAS to be present. I am assuming that it needs to be present.
I guess what I am asking is that if the In method does need to be appended in order for the assertion to work correctly, how would I fluently state does "sometext" appear in any div or p tag or class on page, or should I be using Ids throughout. I see something useful at https://github.com/stirno/FluentAutomation/issues/133.
So something like the following that could be wrapped into an extension method on AssertSyntaxProvider, however it appears heavy-handed/clunky?
var texts = I.Find("html").Elements.Select(el => el.Item2().Text);
I.Assert.True(() => texts.Any(t => t.Contains("statement1")));
I.Assert.True(() => texts.Any(t => t.Contains("statement2")));
I.Assert.True(() => texts.Any(t => t.Contains("statement3")));
Help appreciated!!
Last thing - this is an awesome Library!!!

Yes, In is required as its the executing block of the chain. Its been awhile since I've been able to focus on expanding FluentAutomation so It hasn't become any nicer to make assertions against multiple elements.
I do have a nice plan for this that I just haven't had time to implement.
As for your specific test, You're close to what I'd use for now:
I.Open("http://fluent.stirno.com");
var elements = I.FindMultiple("*").Children.Select(x => x());
I.Assert.True(() => elements.Any(x => x.Element.Text.Contains("v3.0 Released!")));
v3.1 will have some better methods for dealing with this but this at least uses Sizzle's * selector to get every element (warning: could be real slow so maybe use "div,p,span" or similar if you can limit it).

How to iterate over an element (node) list on Android Jetpack Compose UI Tests?

I'm implementing some instrumented tests using the Jetpack Compose testing library. I'm not too familiar with Kotlin / Android development yet, but I have years of experience with Selenium and other testing libraries, so I'm missing some basic things and have no idea how to implement them.
What I want to do:
Iterate over an element (node) list. I have this list an all items are identified by the same test tag "item". I need to click on each one of these items.
On Selenium I can easily do that:
elements = driver.find_elements("item")
elements.each do |element|
element.click
end
But on Kotlin with the Composing Testing Framework I have no clue how to do that. The method below (responsible for returning a list of nodes) doesn't support forEach:
composeTestRule.onAllNodes(hasTestTag("item")
I also want to retrieve the list size.
On Selenium the method below returns the qty of items found:
driver.find_elements("item").size
But, again, there's nothing like that available with composing:
composeTestRule.onAllNodes(hasTestTag("item")
I've already read the official JetPack Compose Testing Tutorial, but it doesn't provide much details
I'm not sure how you'd go about iterating over a SemanticsNodeInteractionCollection. I'm also uncertain of why you'd want to do that. That said, in a testing scenario you'd likely have an expected count of items in a collection. Therefore, you can create a range and get the SemanticsNodeInteraction for each element that .OnAllNodes() returns.
Example where I expect there to be 10 ui elements returned:
val nodes = composeTestRule.onAllNodes(hasTestTag("item"))
for (index in 0..10) {
val node = nodes[index]
// node.assert whatever you want here.
}
Asserting the count equals something can also be done through:
composeTestRule.onAllNodes(hasTestTag("item")).assertCountEquals(10)
If you just want to get the total count and not assert it. I'd argue there might be something wrong with the tests themselves. I'd expect your test to be a controlled environment where you know exactly how many items should be shown on the screen at any given time.
Let me know if this helps, otherwise please elaborate on your exact scenario.
To iterate:
composeTestRule.onAllNodes(hasTestTag("item")).apply {
fetchSemanticsNodes().forEachIndexed { i, _ ->
get(i).performClick()
}
}
To check size:
composeTestRule.onAllNodes(hasTestTag("item")).fetchSemanticsNodes().size == 1

Storing and reusing the text content of an object using Playwright and Javascript, then use it for assertion/validaton

I would like to store the text from an object locator and use it for assertion. For instance, I have a trade number - 1234. This trade number only appears after a transaction, so it is not static on other screens. This number is located on several other screens and I need to validate that it appears. I am able to locate the element through inspect and Playwright accepts it, but having issues:
Grabbing the text (1234)
Then setting up an assertion statement to compare it
Below are my humble and naïve attempts:
async getConfirmNumber() {
//Store the contents in the page locator which has the trade number
const tradeNumber = page.locator('div:nth-of-type(2) > .col-md-9.display-value.ng-binding').textContent;
//Navigate to a different screen which now will display the trade number
await this.page.click('a[caption="History"]')
await this.page.click('a[href="#/trade-summary"]')
//Line of code that I am not sure how to correctly write. ".bidconfirmation" is the locator on the new screen which displays the trade number.
//If the contents or value of ".bidconfirmation" is NOT 1234 then an error needs to display.
await expect(tradeNumber).toHaveCSS('.bidconfirmation', tradeNumber);
}
Just to let you know I would change the tag on this post to playwright-JavaScript to better reach the intended audience.
However, if I understand your question correctly you are trying to get the text content of an element but the textContent() method is not working, I would try to use the innerText() method and see if that works.
Apologies if this is a little off as I work with the java version of Playwright but you could do:
const tradeNumber = page.locator('div:nth-of-type(2) > .col-md-9.display-value.ng-binding').innerText(); //BTW I would change this locator to something unique or a little more stable -- this should give you the tradeNumber
//then I'm not 100% sure what your trying to do here but if I understand correctly this might help
await expect(page.locator('.bidconfirmation').toHaveValue(tradeNumber));
I hope this helped a little, Im sorry I couldn't really get an understanding fully of the question you were asking but feel free to take a look at playwright.dev to find documentation surrounding Playwright.

What can i use to interact with the search bar on this website using cypress

I am trying to complete a test case that involved opening propertypal.com, entering some values and validating the responses using the software cypress. I've never used cypress before but the company asking me to do this test want me to utilise it.
This is the website i'm testing https://www.propertypal.com/
I want to type bt6 into that text box, but I cant work out the correct locator to use. Everything I try either returns multiple elements or doesn't find anything.
Below are some of the things I tried with no success. The main things I have been honing in on are the placeholder text, the ID and element name.
I'm very new to this type of automation so any help would be amazing.
cy.get('query').type('bt6')
cy.get('input:first').should('have.attr', 'placeholder', 'Search Area, Address, Agent').click()
cy.get('search-form-textbox').type('bt6')
With this element
<input id="query"
type="text"
name="q"
class="search-form-textbox"
autocorrect="off"
spellcheck="false"
value=""
placeholder="Search Area, Address, Agent">
Using the id="query" should be best,
cy.get('input#query') // should only be one id "query" on the page
.type('bt6');
If there's multiple id's "query" and you want to flag it,
cy.get('input#query')
.then($els => {
expect($els.length).to.eq(1) // assert there's only one id found, otherwise fail
})
.type('bt6');
If there's multiple id's "query" and you don't really care, you can select the third which is the visible one.
cy.get('input#query')
.eq(2) // take the third, which is at center of the page
.type('bt6');
Taking the "nth" element found is always a bit fragile, but placeholder text is pretty good instead (provided the page isn't multi-lingual)
cy.get('input[placeholder="Search Area, Address, Agent"]') // easier with attribute in selector
.eq(1) // take the second, as the are two of these
.type('bt6');
Class is not so good, as can often be applied to multiple elements, but in this case it's pretty good because it's specific to the role,
cy.get('input.search-form-textbox') // prefix class with "."
.eq(2) // take the third, which is at center of the page
.type('bt6')
Web pages can often have multiple elements with the same selector, for example cy.get('input#query') has three elements with this id.
What happens is the developer creates a component, adds an id like <input id="query"> then adds the component in several places, so the page actually ends up with multiple ids of the same name.
When the page is complex with hidden sections, to find the element you want start by testing with a console.log
cy.get('input#query') // finds 3 elements
.then(console.log) // log them to dev tools
Open dev tools, click open the object printed and you can see the list of elements selected.
Now you can hover each element, and the corresponding element on the page is highlighted.
In this case the first two are hidden behind menu items, but the third is the one we need.
So now we can add an .eq(2) to select the third element
cy.get('input#query') // finds 3 elements
.eq(2) // take the third element
.type('bt6');
So when I ran the cypress Test for your website, I got an uncaught exception that is originating from your Application. This is something that should be analyzed and is possibly fixed.
If this is something that is not going to be fixed, then you can add the below in your test, so that cypress ignores the exception and doesn't throw an error.
Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
return false
})
Now I tried using the locator id(#query) to input the test, as it is always good to use id because it's unique, but unfortunately, it gave me an error as the element is not visible. Unfortunately adding {force: true} also didn't help me solve the issue.
cy.get('#query').type('bt6')
1.So, the locator that worked for me was .search-ctrl. So your Final Test will look like this:
cy.visit('https://www.propertypal.com/')
Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
return false
})
cy.get('.search-ctrl').type('bt6')
2.Now, if you want to globally handle the exception, then go to cypress/support/index.js and then write there:
Cypress.on('uncaught:exception', (err, runnable) => {
return false
})
And then in this case your test will just have:
cy.visit('https://www.propertypal.com/')
cy.get('.search-ctrl').type('bt6')

Selenium Webdriver - using isDisplayed() in If statement is not working

I am creating a script that involved searching for a record and then updating the record. On the search screen, the user has the option of viewing advanced search options. To toggle showing or hiding advanced search is controlled by one button.
<a title="Searches" href="javascript:expandFilters()"><img border="0" align="absmiddle" alt="Advanced" src="****MASKED URL****"></a>
The only difference between the properties of the search button when it is showing or hiding the advanced search is the img src:
When advanced search is hidden the IMG src ends with "/Styles/_Images/advanced_button.jpg", when advanced search is visible, the IMG src ends with "/Styles/_Images/basic_button.png"
When I open the page, sometimes the Advanced search options are showing, sometimes they aren't. The value that I want to search on appears in the Advanced section, so for my script to work I have added an IF statement.
<input type="text" value="" maxlength="30" size="30" name="guiSystemID">
The IF statement looks for the fields that I need to enter data into, and if the field does not exist then that would indicate that the Advanced options are not visible I need to click on the button to expand the search option.
I created the following IF statement.
if (!driver.findElement(By.name("guiSystemID")).isDisplayed()) {
driver.findElement(By.cssSelector("img[alt='Advanced']")).click();
}
When I run the script and the Advanced search is expanded then the script runs successfully. However, when I run the script and the Advanced search is not expanded, the script fails, advising me that it could not find the object "guiSystemID". This is frustrating because if it can't find it then I want the script to continue, entering into the True path of the IF statement.
Has anyone got any suggestions about how else I could assess if the field is appearing without having the script fail because it can't find the field.
Thanks in advance

I might be late in answering this, but it might help someone else looking for the same.
I recently faced a similar problem while working with isDisplayed(). My code was something like this
if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(noRecordId)).isDisplayed() )
{
/**Do this*/
}
else
{
/**Do this*/
}
This code works pretty well when the element that isDisplayed is trying to find is present. But when the element is absent, it continues looking for that and hence throws an exception "NosuchElementFound". So there was no way that I could test the else part.
I figured out a way to work with this(Surround the {if, else} with try and catch block, say something like this.
public void deleteSubVar() throws Exception
{
try
{
if(driver.findElement(By.xpath(noRecordId)).isDisplayed() )
{
/**when the element is found do this*/
}
}
catch(Exception e)
{
/**include the else part here*/
}
}
Hope this helps :)
I've had mixed results with .isDisplayed() in the past. Since there are various methods to hide an element on the DOM, I think it boils down to a flexibility issue with isDisplayed(). I tend to come up with my own solutions to this. I'll share a couple things I do, then make a recommendation for your scenario.
Unless I have something very specific, I tend to use a wrapper method that performs a number of checks for visibility. Here's the concept, I'll leave the actual implementation approach to you. For general examples here, just assume "locator" is your chosen method of location (CSS, XPath, Name, ID, etc).
The first, and easiest check to make is to see if the element is even present on the DOM. If it's not present, it certainly isn't visible.
boolean isPresent = driver.findElements(locator).size() > 0;
Then, if that returns true, I'll check the dimensions of the element:
Dimension d = driver.findElement(locator).getSize();
boolean isVisible = (d.getHeight() > 0 && d.getWidth() > 0);
Now, dimensions, at times, can return a false positive if the element does in fact have height and width greater than zero, but, for example, another element covers the target element, making it appear hidden on the page (at least, I've encountered this a few times in the past). So, as a final check (if the dimension check returns true), I look at the style attribute of the element (if one has been defined) and set the value of a boolean accordingly:
String elementStyle = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("style");
boolean isVisible = !(elementStyle.equals("display: none;") || elementStyle.equals("visibility: hidden;"));
These work for a majority of element visibility scenarios I encounter, but there are times where your front end dev does something different that needs to be handled on it's own.
An easy scenario is when there's a CSS class that defines element visibility. It could be named anything, so let's assume "hidden" to be what we need to look for. In this case, a simple check of the 'class' attribute should yield suitable results (if any of the above approaches fail to do so):
boolean isHidden = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("class").contains("hidden");
Now, for your particular situation, based on the information you've given above, I'd recommend setting a boolean value based on evaluation of the "src" attribute. This would be a similar approach to the CSS class check just above, but used in a slightly different context, since we know exactly what attribute changes between the two states. Note that this would only work in this fashion if there are two states of the element (Advanced and Basic, as you've noted). If there are more states, I'd look into setting an enum value or something of the like. So, assuming the element represents either Advanced or Basic:
boolean isAdvanced = driver.findElement(locator).getAttribute("src").contains("advanced_button.jpg");
From any of these approaches, once you have your boolean value, you can begin your if/then logic accordingly.
My apologies for being long winded with this, but hopefully it helps get you on the right path.
Use of Try Catch defies the very purpose of isdisplayed() used as If condition, one can write below code without using "if"
try{
driver.findElement(By.xpath(noRecordId)).isDisplayed();
//Put then statements here
}
Catch(Exception e)
{//put else statement here.}

Dojo dnd (drag and drop) 1.7.2 - How to maintain a separate (non-dojo-dnd) list?

I'm using Dojo dnd version 1.7.2 and it's generally working really well. I'm happy.
My app maintains many arrays of items, and as the user drags and drops items around, I need to ensure that my arrays are updated to reflect the contents the user is seeing.
In order to accomplish this, I think I need to run some code around the time of Source.onDndDrop
If I use dojo.connect to set up a handler on my Source for onDndDrop or onDrop, my code seems to get called too late. That is, the source that's passed to the handler doesn't actually have the item in it any more.
This is a problem because I want to call source.getItem(nodes[0].id) to get at the actual data that's being dragged around so I can find it in my arrays and update those arrays to reflect the change the user is making.
Perhaps I'm going about this wrong; and there's a better way?
Ok, I found a good way to do this. A hint was found in this answer to a different question:
https://stackoverflow.com/a/1635554/573110
My successful sequence of calls is basically:
var source = new dojo.dnd.Source( element, creationParams );
var dropHandler = function(source,nodes,copy){
var o = source.getItem(nodes[0].id); // 0 is cool here because singular:true.
// party on o.data ...
this.oldDrop(source,nodes,copy);
}
source.oldDrop = source.onDrop;
source.onDrop = dropHandler;
This ensures that the new implementation of onDrop (dropHandler) is called right before the previously installed one.
Kind'a shooting a blank i guess, there are a few different implementations of the dndSource. But there are a some things one needs to know about the events / checkfunctions that are called during the mouseover / dnddrop.
One approach would be to setup checkAcceptance(source, nodes) for any target you may have. Then keep a reference of the nodes currently dragged. Gets tricky though, with multiple containers that has dynamic contents.
Setup your Source, whilst overriding the checkAcceptance and use a known, (perhaps global) variable to keep track.
var lastReference = null;
var target = dojo.dnd.Source(node, {
checkAcceptance(source, nodes) : function() {
// this is called when 'nodes' are attempted dropped - on mouseover
lastReference = source.getItem(nodes[0].id)
// returning boolean here will either green-light or deny your drop
// use fallback (default) behavior like so:
return this.inhertied(arguments);
}
});
Best approach might just be like this - you get both target and source plus nodes at hand, however you need to find out which is the right stack to look for the node in. I believe it is published at same time as the event (onDrop) youre allready using:
dojo.subscribe("/dnd/drop", function(source, nodes, copy, target) {
// figure out your source container id and target dropzone id
// do stuff with nodes
var itemId = nodes[0].id
}
Available mechanics/topics through dojo.subscribe and events are listed here
