Protractor - unable to get h2 value - protractor

I'm unable to get value from h2 tag using protractor.
Html Code:
<h2 class="ng-binding">7</h2>
I need this 7 value. This is from website "http://juliemr.github.io/protractor-demo/". I am adding 5+2.
Appreciate your help.

Try xpath
Here I am getting the element with ID, moving one position back and then looking for the h2
var result = element(by.xpath('//*[#id=\'gobutton\']/../h2'))
result.getText().then(function(value){
expect(value).toBe('7');
})
Or look directly to the h2:
element(by.xpath('//h2[#class='ng-binding']'))
In case you plan to always have 7 as a result then you can also look for the cssContainingText
var result = element.all(by.cssContainingText('.ng-binding', '7')).first();
in this case I am using .all and .first because this will return 2 elements so I am telling protractor to use always the first one
So your code should be something like this:
it('Should access the page and perform sum', function() {
browser.get('http://juliemr.github.io/protractor-demo/');
element(by.model('first')).sendKeys(5);
element(by.model('second')).sendKeys(2);
element(by.id('gobutton')).click();
var result = element(by.xpath('//*[#id=\'gobutton\']/../h2'))
result.getText().then(function(value){
console.log('result is '+value)
expect(value).toBe('7');
})
});

As per the url given, After clicking Go it loads for some time. So add some wait and then try to getText() with the below locator.
browser.sleep(5000);
element(by.css('form>h2.ng-binding')).getText().then((text: String) =>{
expect(text).toBe("7");
})
Hope it helps you...

First, you find the element, for example with a by.css call. Then you use getText method to retrieve the desired tag content. Finally, you assert it to be equal to the value you expect:
result = element(by.css('h2.ng-binding'))
expect(result.getText()).toEqual('7')

want to store promise value in an array

I want to get all the values from a registration page and store all values in an array. How can I do that in protractor?
var arr = new Array(); //declare array
InputName.getAttribute("value")
.then(function(value){
arr[0]=value; // want to store promise value in an array
});
console.log(arr[0]);
If you run your code, it will first log arr[0] and then resolve Promise. Therefore, you may access that array's values in the next Promise. Something like this
var arr = new Array(); // <- this is by the way bad practice, use 'let arr = [];'
InputName.getAttribute("value")
.then(function(value) {
arr[0]=value; // I would use arr.push(value)
});
anotherInput.getAttribute("value")
.then(function(value) {
console.log(arr[0]); // your value should be accessible here
arr.push(value) // push another value
});
But, honestly, I've been working with Protractor fo a while now and I still have difficulties understanding promises... This why I'm using async/await in my tests so if I were to implement something like that I would end up having the following
let arr = [];
let value1 = await InputName.getAttribute("value");
arr.push(value1);
console.log(arr[0]);
Clear, neat code with no hustle. Plus protractor team is actually removing promise_manager, so one day when you update it your code will not work anymore. Then why not switch earlier

element.all always returning count as 0

I am trying to test a dynamic web table using protractor and trying to find the count of headers, rows and cols but always getting 0 as the count
var x = element.all(by.xpath('//table//thead//tr//th'))
x.count().then(function(c){
console.log(c);
});
I tried using element.all(by.css ) as well and it returns the same , can anyone help?
I used selenium and able to retrieve the value, so xpath is not wrong, but I have to use protractor to fetch the same.
Selenium script which is working
List col = driver.findElements(By.xpath("//div[#class='table-wrapper']//table//thead//tr/th"));
System.out.println(col.size());
html
Try the below code
var x = await element.all(by.css('table[title="status"]'))
//Add wait if the table take more time to load
x.count().then(function(c){
console.log(c);
});
In general, you should avoid xpath since it's very inefficient.
This should work for you:
var table = element(by.css('table.table'));
table
.element(by.css('thead'))
.all(by.css('tr th'))
.count()
.then(function(count) {
console.log('count:',count);
});

How to insert an option value into a select tag with CasperJS?

Well, the question is very self-explanatory.
Right now, I'm front of a form which has a select tag with a couple of options already. But I must insert a new one, with a different value that I will receive from a .json file.
The thing is: I haven't been able to find a suitable solution from the CasperJS documentation.
I've tried something like this:
this.fill('form.coworkerdiscountcode', {
'CoworkerDiscountCode.DiscountCode': ['Value1']
});
But no results. Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
You can execute any javascript code by passing it to casper.evaluate like this:
casper.evaluate(function() {
var x = document.getElementById("coworkerdiscountcode");
var option = document.createElement("option");
option.text = "Kiwi";
x.add(option);
});

xPages REST Service Results into Combobox or Typeahead Text Field

I've read all the documentation I can find and watched all the videos I can find and don't understand how to do this. I have set up an xPages REST Service and it works well. Now I want to place the results of the service into either a combobox or typeahead text field. Ideally I would like to know how to do it for both types of fields.
I have an application which has a view containing a list of countries, another view containing a list of states, and another containing a list of cities. I would like the first field to only display the countries field from the list of data it returns in the XPages REST Service. Then, depending upon which country was selected, I would like the states for that country to be listed in another field for selection, etc.
I can see code for calling the REST Service results from a button, or from a dojo grid, but I cannot find how to call it to populate either of the types of fields identified above.
Where would I call the Service for the field? I had thought it would go in the Data area, but perhaps I've just not found the right syntax to use.
November 6, 2017:
I have been following your suggestion, but am still lost as can be. Here's what I currently have in my code:
x$( "#{id:ApplCountry}" ).select2({
placeholder: "select a country",
minimumInputLength: 2,
allowClear : true,
multiple: false,
ajax: {
dataType: 'text/plain',
url: "./Application.xsp/gridData",
quietMillis: 250,
data: function (params) {
return {
search:'[name=]*'+params.term+'*',
page: params.page
};
},
processResults: function (data, page) {
var data = $.map(data, function (obj) {
obj.id = obj.id || obj["#entityid"];
obj.text = obj.text || obj.name;
return obj;
});
},
return {results: data};
}
}
});
I'm using the dataType of 'text/plain' because that was what I understood I should use when gathering data from a domino application. I have tried changing this to json but it makes no difference.
I'm using processResults because I understand this is what should be used in version 4 of select2.
I don't understand the whole use of the hidden field, so I've stayed away from that.
No matter what I do, although my REST service works if I put it directly in the url, I cannot get any data to display in the field. All I want to display in the field is the country code of the document, which is in the field named "name" (not my choice, it's how it came before I imported the data from MySQL.
I have read documentation and watched videos, but still don't really understand how everything fits together. That was my problem with the REST service. If you use it in Dojo, you just put the name of the service in a field on the Dojo element and it's done, so I don't understand why all the additional coding for another type of domino element. Shouldn't it work the same way?
I should point out that at some points it does display the default message, so it does find the field. Just doesn't display the country selections.
I think the issue may be that you are not returning SelectItems to your select2, and that is what it is expecting. When I do something like you are trying, I actually use a bean to generate the selection choices. You may want to try that or I'm putting in the working part of my bean below.
The Utils.getItemValueAsString is a method I use to return either the string value of a field, or if it is not on the document/empty/null an empty string. I took out an if that doesn't relate to this, so there my be a mismatch, but I hope not.
You might be able to jump directly to populating the arrayList, but as I recall I needed to leverage the LinkedHashMap for something.
You should be able to do the same using SSJS, but since that renders to Java before executing, I find this more efficient.
For label/value pairs:
LinkedHashMap lhmap = new LinkedHashMap();
Document doc = null;
Document tmpDoc = null;
allObjects.addElement(doc);
if (dc.getCount() > 0) {
doc = dc.getFirstDocument();
while (doc != null) {
lhmap.put(Utils.getItemValueAsString(doc, LabelField, true), Utils.getItemValueAsString(doc, ValueField, true));
}
tmpDoc = dc.getNextDocument(doc);
doc.recycle();
doc = tmpDoc;
}
}
List<SelectItem> options = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
Set set = lhmap.entrySet();
Iterator hsItr = set.iterator();
while (hsItr.hasNext()) {
Map.Entry me = (Map.Entry) hsItr.next();
// System.out.println("after: " + hStr);
SelectItem option = new SelectItem();
option.setLabel(me.getKey() + "");
option.setValue(me.getValue() + "");
options.add(option);
}
System.out.println("About to return from generating");
return options;
}
I ended up using straight up SSJS. Worked like a charm - very simple.

Protractor- ElementFinder returning unexpected values

I am writing a protractor test case to compare the name(s) of the displayed data is same as the searched name.
Even though my test case works fine, I am not able to understand what is happening. Because when i expect the name to compare, it compares as expected, but when i print the elementFinder's(rowData)(i have attached the output screen shot here) value in console.log, it show a huge list of some values which i am not able to understand?
PS: I am a newbie to protractor`
This is the testCase:
it('should show proper data for given last name', function () {
var searchValue='manning';
searchBox.sendKeys(searchValue);
search.click();
element.all(by.binding('row.loanNumber')).count().then(function(value) {
var loanCount = value;
for (var i = 0; i < loanCount; i++) {
var rowData = element.all(by.binding('row.borrowerName')).get(i).getText();
expect(rowData).toMatch(searchValue.toUpperCase());
console.log(rowData,'*****',searchValue.toUpperCase());
}
});
});`
And give me valuable suggestions about my style of code
rowData is a promise (not a value), so when you console.log it, you get the promise object
Protractor patches Jasmine to automatically resolve promises within the expect(), so that's how it knows to resolve the value and compare to the expected result.
If you want to console.log the value, you need to resolve the promise with .then() to get the value.
rowData.then(function(rowDataText) {
console.log(rowDataText);
)}
This is pretty much everyone's first question when they start using protractor. You will want to learn how promises work if you want a good understanding of how to manipulate them.
