Webdriver Test a field function

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi 

 

Could I get some pointers on testing web fields with the UDF driver? 

Currently I have these 2 functions I use for testing an element field. I'm getting some failures though so just wondering on some pointers to improve the functions 

It's quite simple - just uses the WD_FindElement function to get the text, then gets the innertext of that element 

at that point i call a function to check the variable 

Func WebDriver_Test_Xpath($sSession, $Xpath, $TextToBeTested, $TestDescription )
   Sleep(1000)
      $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $Xpath)
      $ClipData = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'property', 'innerText')
      TestVariableContainsInClipBoardOne($ClipData, $TextToBeTested, $TestDescription)

Endfunc

And the TestVariableContainsInClipBoardOne() function looks like this  

Func TestVariableContainsInClipBoardOne($ClipData, $Input, $FieldBeingTested)
   if StringInStr($ClipData,$Input) Then
      MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result for field    " & $FieldBeingTested, "Test " & $TestCount & " Passed: The following is in the clipboard" & $ClipData & " " & $FieldBeingTested & "  matches the following value received "& $Input, 2)
      FileWrite($TestLog,       @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test " & $TestCount & " Passed: " & $FieldBeingTested & "The following is in the clipboard" & $ClipData & "      matches the value expected " & $Input)
      FileWrite($TestResults,   @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test " & $TestCount & " Passed: " & $FieldBeingTested & "The clipboard" & "      matches the value expected " & $Input)
     ; ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test " & $TestCount & " Passed: " & $FieldBeingTested & "The clipboard" & "      matches the value expected " & $Input))

   Else
       MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result for field   " & $FieldBeingTested, "Test " & $TestCount & " failed: The following is in the clipboard" & $Input & " " & $FieldBeingTested & " doesn't match the following value received "& $ClipData, 2)
      FileWrite($TestLog,       @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test " & $TestCount & " failed: The following is in the clipboard " & $Input & " doesn't match the value expected " & $ClipData)
      FileWrite($TestResults,   @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test " & $TestCount & " failed: The following is in the clipboard " & $Input & " doesn't match the value expected "& $ClipData)
      ConsoleWrite(@CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & " Test " & $TestCount & " failed: The following is in the clipboard " & $Input & " doesn't match the value expected "& $ClipData)
   EndIf
$TestCount =$TestCount +1
Sleep(2000)
   Endfunc

You should add some error checking to your first function. There's no point in trying to retrieve the innerText property if you couldn't locate the element.

Thanks 

so I added in an error check 

Func WebDriver_Test_Xpath($sSession, $Xpath, $TextToBeTested, $TestDescription )
   Sleep(1000)
      $sElement = _WD_FindElement($sSession, $_WD_LOCATOR_ByXPath, $Xpath)
      if @error then
         Msgbox(64, "","Can't see element", 1 )
         WriteToConsoleAndLog("ERROR Cannot see element for Xpath: " & $Xpath)
         WriteToConsoleAndLog("ERROR Test Description:  " & $TestDescription)

         EndIf
      $ClipData = _WD_ElementAction($sSession, $sElement, 'property', 'innerText')
      TestVariableContainsInClipBoardOne($ClipData, $TextToBeTested, $TestDescription)



Endfunc

and it is hitting the If @error statement 

When I double check the xpath though it is the same as what I have in the arguement

Is there anything I can do to improve it? 

It works on another webpage so bit confused! 

[Danp2]

You are still attempting to retrieve the innerText even after failing to find the element. You should either return from the function after failing to find the element or move the remaining code into the Else portion of an If Then Else Endif statement.

For more specific help, you would need to provide website, xpath, etc. so that we could observe why the element can't be found.

P.S. Do you check for frames?

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Yeah I've not finished moving it about yet.

I'll stick the below lines into an else statement 

 

What is checking frames? 

 

[Danp2]

If the element is located within a frame, then that would explain why your attempt to locate it is failing. You would need to switch to the correct frame first using wither _WD_Window or _WD_FrameEnter.

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Could you demonstrate how to use this?

See the DemoFrames function in wd_demo. au3 😉
