ERROR Error: mat-form-field must contain a MatFormFieldControl - datepicker

I have used mat-date-picker inside my application, the html file looks like this :
<mat-form-field>
<input matInput [matDatepicker]="picker" formControlName="date" placeholder="Choose a date">
<mat-datepicker-toggle matSuffix [for]="picker"></mat-datepicker-toggle>
<mat-datepicker #picker></mat-datepicker>
I have used the exact same piece of code in my another component and it works, but in this component it displays the error:
ERROR Error: mat-form-field must contain a MatFormFieldControl.
Even though the page is loading after the error, the button of date picker doesnot get displayed and i cannot select a date.

Make sure you've imported the module MatInputModule.

How to find protractor element using [(ngModel)]

I have trouble to locate the element using [(ngModel)]. This is angular2 syntax, I can not find any document for this.
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Summary</label>
<input type="text" class="form-control" [(ngModel)]="task.summary">
</div>
I tried multiple way to locate the elements, e.g.
var input = element(by.model('task.summary'));
input.sendKeys('123');
expect(input.getAttribute('value')).toBe('123');
But it failed with error Failed: unknown error: angular is not defined.
And I make it work with the following workaround, but I really want to use [(ngModel)] to locate the element.
var input = element.all(by.css('input'));
input.sendKeys('summary');
expect(input.getAttribute('value')).toBe('summary');
I also faced the same issue. I resolved as below. by.model does not support for more then Angular 2.0. So, I resolved using by.css properties.
element(by.css('[name="firstName"]')).sendKeys('Protector User');

Bootstrap Form Helpers country picker doesn't get serialized

I have a country picker in my form like this:
<select class="bfh-countries text-left" name="country" id="country" data-country="DE">
</select>
I can get the value with jQuery like this:
$("#country").val()
but when i try to serialize the form with $("#myform").serializeArray() The value for "country" is an empty string.
How can i fix this?
I ran into this problem and it took me forever to find because there aren't any examples of it. What you really want to do is use data-name="country", which names the hidden variable on the back end as country. For the country picker, you can use the div tag as follows:
<div class="country bfh-selectbox bfh-countries" data-flags="true" data-filter="true" data-name="country" data-country="POSTBACK_VARIABLE_GOES_HERE"></div>
If you do this, you'll find a hidden variable that's added to the page as follows:
<input type="hidden" name="country" value="US">
The value above assumes you selected United States but it is entered as a 2 character code, which could then be entered as data-country above if you need to do server-side validation and display the page again without forcing the user to select the value all over again.
This was seriously a nightmare to find.

The right way to fill and test a web form in ScalaTest and FluentLenium

I'm trying to fill, submit, and test a web form in Play Framework, using ScalaTest and FluentLenium. It seems like it should be very straightforward, but I'm having all kinds of problems.
First, part of the web form in question:
<form class="signin" id="loginform" method="POST" action="/login">
<div class="form-group">
<label for="name">Email Address:</label>
<input type="email" class="form-control" placeholder="Enter Email Address" id="email" name="email" required />
...
This works fine from a real web browser. Now the problem comes when I try to fill in and submit the form:
#RunWith(classOf[JUnitRunner])
#SharedDriver(deleteCookies = false)
#SharedDriver(`type` = SharedDriver.SharedType.PER_CLASS)
class TestWebsiteAuthentication extends Specification {
"Application" should {
"login as an administrative user on the web site" in new WithBrowser with GPAuthenticationTestUtility {
browser.goTo(loginURL)
browser.fill("#email").`with`(prerequisiteAccounts.head.userIdentity) must equalTo(OK)
...
At that last line, I get an exception:
[info] x login as an administrative user on the web site
[error] 'org.fluentlenium.core.action.FillConstructor#1c25c183' is not equal to '200' (TestWebsiteAuthentication.scala:93)
[error] Expected: 200
[error] Actual: org.fluentlenium.core.action.FillConstructor#1c25c183
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong here?
I've tried taking out the "must equalTo(OK)" but this just causes the form to fail on submit -- unfortunately, I haven't been able to find ANY documentation on how to do this, so I'm basically piecing it together bit by bit. Pointers to relevant documentation would be appreciated -- there doesn't seem to be anything complete at Tyrpesafe... just "teasers" that get you started, but no depth. :-(
When you write browser.fill("#email").``with``("x#y.com"), all you're really doing is telling Fluentlenium to edit the template to add a value attribute inside the input tag.
On the other hand, OK is an HTTP status code, so comparing them will naturally yield false.
When you say you tried to submit the form and it failed, i am assuming you did something such as:
browser.fill("#email").`with`("x#y.com")
browser.fill("#password").`with`("myPass")
browser.click("#button") // this should submit the form and load the page after login
and then tried to make an assertion such as:
browser.title() must equalTo("next page") // fails because "next page" != "login page"
one suggestion is to try something like this, Before browser.click:
browser.pageSource() must contain("xyz") // this will fail
When the above assertion fails, it will print the content of browser.pageSource() to your terminal, and you'll be able to see the modifications the Fill function did to the HTML.
In my case, I observed that my pageSource() now contained the following:
<input type="text" id="email" name="email" value="x#y.com"/>
<input type="password" id="password" name="password"/>
Notice how the first input has a value="x#y.com", but the second input is still empty. It turns out the second one is empty because it is an input of type password, however I eventually made the form login work.
Here is a list of things you can look into:
have a database enabled in that Spec
have it populated with Users (in case your form validation connects to a DB, that is)
from what I have experienced, using browser.goTo more than once in a test will not work well with form submission (anyone can confirm?)
Hope this helps

angularjs form can not refer to input control when input name is array

I encounter a problem when testing form validation with angularjs
According to angularjs form guide,
an input control that has the ngModel directive holds an instance of NgModelController. Such a control instance can be published as a property of the form instance using the name attribute on the input control.
I created test code at plunker, it all works fine untill I change the input name from
<input type="number" name="age" ng-model="user.age" max="100" required>
<p>{{form1.age.$error}}</p>
to
<input type="number" name="user[age]" ng-model="user.age" max="100" required>
<p>{{form1.user[age].$error}}</p>
Does this mean angular can not recognize array syntax in form input?
The problem for me is I want to keep the normal form submission flow and only use angular for form validation, so I need to keep form input as array to work with the backend form handling
It has nothing to do with Angular. It is a syntactic JS error.
If you want to reference a property named user[age], you should do it like this:
form1['user[age]'].$error
form1.user[age] is incorrectly interpreted as (form1.user)[age]

Why does the first assert work, but not the second?

I'm using Watir WebDriver with Firefox.
Here are two asserts for the same element. The first works, but not the second:
assert_match(/Please add user to GMT/, #browser.small(:class, "error").text)
assert_match(/Please add user to GMT/, #browser.div(:class, "eight mobile-three columns").small(:class, "error").text)
I need the second assert to work, because there are 8 error messages on the page, which are presented if the user does not populate 8 mandatory fields. All 8 errors have the identical HTML. So, I need to be able to step down from the parent.
Here is the HTML:
<div class="eight mobile-three columns">
<a id="btnAddUserToGMT" class="success radius button expand error" onclick="AddUserToGMT();" data-reveal-id="addToGMT" href="#"> … </a>
<small class="error" style="margin-top:0px;">
Please add user to GMT
</small>
</div>
Here is the error message:
Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException: unable to locate element, using {:class=>"error", :tag_name=>"small"}
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.6.4/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:490:in `assert_exists'
C:/Ruby193/lib/ruby/gems/1.9.1/gems/watir-webdriver-0.6.4/lib/watir-webdriver/elements/element.rb:85:in `text'
C:/Documents and Settings/Asserts_01.rb:22:in `testBasic'
The complaint for the second assert is:
unable to locate element, using {:class=>"error", :tag_name=>"small"}
And yet that same using was OK for the first assert.
Problem solved.
After discussion with the developer, it appears that by some unusual manipulation of automatically generated HTML, the text of the error message appears at its correct location on the page. But the assertion must be based on a different tag, which is specified at some completely different position on the page.
For example, I was trying to assert on this code at the correct position:
<small class="error" style="margin-top:0px;">
Gender is required
</small
Even unique xPath generated by FirePath failed to find this.
What I should have asserted on was a HIDDEN tag on a completely different part of the page.
<input id="errorMsgGenderID" name="errorMsgGenderID" type="hidden" value="Gender is required" />
There were several such tags for each mandatory field that was not populated, all bunched together on the same line. They were all "input" tags, which puzzled me.
