I have application in Angularjs2, and developers have not been using ids into it. Now I have to implement the Protractor on same application. Is there anyway to implement the Protractor without using "absolute XPath"?
Thanks in advance!
Please find a huge range of locator-possibilities on the official Protractortest API Page
Every element on a page needs to be uniquely identifiable... else the page wouldn't work, no matter which technology. Therefore with the help of any of the above provided locator-possibilities you'll always find the element you're looking for.
And there is never a need for XPath, except for this only one. (though there is an parentElementArrayFinder introduced in the meantime, so not even that one exception is valid anymore)
UDPATE
If you could use XPath, you can for sure use CSS-Locators.
Here some examples for locators:
$('div.class#id[anyAttribute="anyValue"] div.child.somewhere-below-div-point-class')
element(by.cssContainingText('div[data-index="2"]', 'select this option'))
Or as a specific example the "Learn More" of the "Tree List" section of https://js.devexpress.com/ :
treeListSection = element(by.cssContainingText('div.tab-content h2', 'Tree List')).getDriver();
learnMoreBtn = treeListSection.element(by.cssContainingText('a.tab-button','Learn More'));
learnMoreBtn.click();
Those are just examples, but there is always a way to do it.
If you provide some example-HTML in your Question, I can direct you towards a solution.
UPDATE 2
For getting the Parent Web Element, one could use getDriver() as well

Is the property "health.config.enabled" still valid and being processed in current Spring Cloud?
If yes, where in the code it is being done?
The property is in the current official documentation and has worked well for me so far (in cloud clients).
But as a whole string, it cannot be found anywhere in the current source code (besides the doc source).
For me as a beginner, it was easy to find in the old version of ConfigClientAutoConfiguration.java
Recent version of ConfigClientAutoConfiguration.java does not contain that whole property name, although I guess it's still being processed but in a more abstract way that I don't understand yet. Thus I'd appreciate even a hint in the form of "what used to be done on line "#ConditionalOnProperty(value = "health.config.enabled", matchIfMissing = true)" before is now roughly done on line XY".
Thanks.
It is replaced by #ConditionalOnEnabledHealthIndicator("config") (see here).
From the javadoc for that annotation
Blockquote
#Conditional that checks whether a default health indicator is enabled. Matches if the value of the management.health.<name>.enabled
So the new property is management.health.config.enabled
I have been researching about this term for so many hours, but I found anything useful yet.
Hope you can help us building this redmine plugin, or provide us some research links to help us find the correct key.
What we want to build
The thing is we want to update one custom field in redmine (let's name it 'Target_CF') whenever another one is created or updated.
We are looking for incrementing possible values of Target_CF, so we can have all custom field's names available to select.
Of course, we want to achieve this without directly editing Redmine's Core, so we thought developing a plugin would be the best approach.
Our plugin also creates and configures a new custom field (the one mentioned above), but I will let this out of the question, because I think it is not relevant for this.
Where we are right now
We have identified some hooks that could be useful for us, as the following:
:controller_custom_fields_new_after_save
:controller_custom_fields_edit_after_save
We have the following directories/files structure so far:
plugins/
custom_plugin/
init.rb
lib/
hooks.rb
The code we have written
init.rb
require_dependency 'hooks'
Redmine::Plugin.register :custom_plugin do
name 'custom_plugin'
author 'author name'
description 'description text'
version '1.0.0'
end
hooks.rb
class Hooks < Redmine::Hook::ViewListener
def controller_custom_fields_edit_after_save(context={ })
#target_custom_field_name = "Target_CF"
CustomField.find_by_name(#target_custom_field_name).possible_values.push(context[:custom_field].name)
end
end
The result of this code is none. I mean, no erros, no updates, nothing at all. There is no change in our possible values after editing/creating another custom field. We are sure there is something we don't know, some concept or workflow, and due to this we are doing something so badly.
Please, help us understeand what we are missing.
Previously we have succesfully developed another plugin that overwrites certain views. So we have kind of little skills in views related plugins, but zero experience at all at controllers ones.
We are using a Redmine 3.2.0 stack by Bitnami and a mysql database.
Well, finally we found out how to extend base controller's methods. I will post it here so hopefully this can be useful to anyone who finds the same doubts we had.
After some more researching, we conclude that it is mandatory to extend base controllers, in order to not directly modify core methods.
This is our final directories/files structures:
plugins/
custom_plugin/
init.rb
lib/
custom_plugin/
issue_custom_field_patch.rb
We previously stated that we could use some hooks to inject our desired functionality, but it seems not to work that way with controllers. On the other hand, we built a patch which will extend target class functionality.
Our final working code
Init.rb
require 'redmine'
ActionDispatch::Callbacks.to_prepare do
require_dependency 'issue_custom_field'
unless IssueCustomField.included_modules.include? CustomPlugin::IssueCustomFieldPatch
IssueCustomField.send(:include, CustomPlugin::IssueCustomFieldPatch)
end
end
Redmine::Plugin.register :custom_plugin do
name 'custom_plugin'
author 'author name'
description 'description text'
version '1.0.0'
end
issue_custom_field_patch.rb
module CustomPlugin
module IssueCustomFieldPatch
def self.included(base) # :nodoc:
base.extend(ClassMethods)
base.send(:include, InstanceMethods)
base.class_eval do
unloadable
after_save :update_possible_values
end
end
end
module ClassMethods
end
module InstanceMethods
def update_possible_values
self.reload
updatedPossibleValues unless self.name == "Target_CF"
end
private
def updatedPossibleValues
#safe_attrs = ['project', 'description', 'due_date', 'category', 'status', 'assigned_to', 'priority', 'fixed_version', 'author', 'lock_version', 'created_on', 'updated_on', 'start_date', 'done_ratio', 'estimated_hours', 'is_private', 'closed_on']
#custom_fields = IssueCustomField.all.select {|cf| !cf[:position].nil?}.collect {|cf| cf.name}
#possible_values = #safe_attrs + #custom_fields
CustomField.find_by_name("Target_CF").update possible_values: #possible_values
end
end
CustomField.send(:include, IssueCustomFieldPatch)
end
Functionality explained
As we stated in the question, we needed to update Target_CF possible values each time the users create/modify/removes a custom field from Redmine.
We extended IssueCustomField's class's instance methods, triggering our new function 'updatedPossibleValues' after each save. This includes creating new custom fields, and of course, updating existing ones and removing them. Because we reload our list of possible values each time, we had to control if its position were nil. If it is, this means that custom field has been removed.
Because of the ultimate action of this patch, which is the updating of another custom field, this also triggered our function, causing an infinite loop. To prevent this, we linked our functionality to every other custom field which name was not 'Target_CF'. A bit rusty fix, but we couldn't find a better approach.
I hope this can be useful to somebody in the future, as they could invest a fraction of time that we spent on this.
Comments, fixes and improvements are very welcome.
Based on: https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/wiki/Plugin_Internals which is a bit outdated, but finally could complete the code with help of another resources and forums.
I am using a FlexColumnLayout for my app.
In the mid column I need to access a controll of the begin column of the FlexColumnLayout. Here is the problem:
Since it is a different view I cannot use
this.getView().byId("myId")
My first solution was to use stable ID's, by giving the views (XML) IDs.
Like that I could use:
sap.ui.getCore().byId("application---viewId--myId")
At first it worked just fine, but now that I integrated my app into the fiori launchpad the first part of the stable ID (the part before "viewId") changed and when I transport into productive it will change again.
Is there a way to access the mid column controls without sap.ui.getCore().byId?
Or is there a way to load the first part dynamically so I don't need to change my IDs when tranporting?
Sadly I don't know how to reproduce a Launchpad for testing purposes, but for those who want to test their ideas about my problem, my FlexColumnLayout is build just like in the DemoApp: https://sapui5.hana.ondemand.com/#/entity/sap.f.FlexibleColumnLayout
Ok guys i found a solution:
this.getView().getParent().getParent()
returns the FlexColumnLayout. This has a method called "getBeginColumnPages", which returns an array of the views representing the begin column. Now that i can access the view in which my control is found, i can access it with the sap.ui.core.mvc.View.byId() method.
Now I have
this.getView().getParent().getParent().getMidColumnPages()[0].byId("myId")
Since the doulbe .getParent() doesn't seem to be ideal, please post a better solution if you know one : D
You have to use createId() function, this will return the complete ID of your control.
this.byId(this.createId("myid"));
So new to MarkLogic am stuck and not finding the documentation of use. I know what i need to do, just do not know how to do it.
I have a keyvalue? search on my REST server which returns ML's standard search results and XML snippet. I want to create my own custom search result which will output a title element for my XML files.
I am aware that i need to create an XSLT transformation document and upload that to the server but do not know how to target ML's search function or how to write this out.
I have basic knowledge of XSLT, if i just created something that targets each files title using xPath will this work, or does ML require use of their custom functions?
I know its a bit broad, but hopefully someone can point steer me.
Sounds like you are talking about the GET /v1/keyvalue endpoint of MarkLogic REST API. Unfortunately that does not allow you to choose a transform. You can probably use GET /v1/search with a transform param instead though, using a structured query for an element value query. The docs contain a good syntax reference on that.
Docs on creating and managing transforms can be found here:
http://docs.marklogic.com/guide/rest-dev/transforms#chapter
HTH!
You can use extract-metadata in your search options with search:search or the /v1/search/ REST API endpoint to include the title element in a metadata element or JSON property in your results:
import module namespace search = "http://marklogic.com/appservices/search"
at "/MarkLogic/appservices/search/search.xqy";
search:search(
"my query string",
<options xmlns="http://marklogic.com/appservices/search">
<extract-metadata>
<qname elem-ns="" elem-name="title"/>
</extract-metadata>
</options>)
If you need more flexibility, you specify a custom snippet implementation or a results decorator function in your search options.
Is this key-value or full text? For key-value you could use XPath. Any XPath that starts with / or // or fn:collection() or fn:doc() will search the entire database. You can search specific document(s) or collection(s) too.
For full text you'd probably want to use https://docs.marklogic.com/search:search - or possibly https://docs.marklogic.com/cts:search for really low-level control.
There's some example code using search:search from XSL at https://github.com/marklogic/RunDMC which might help. It doesn't use the REST API: it's a traditional form-submit web page. But the view/search.xsl code might give you some idea how to call the search API from XSLT.
That RunDMC code might also help you if you need to call XSL from XQuery: take a look at controller/transform.xqy.
I've been implementing a RESTful web service which has these operations:
List articles:
GET /articles
Delete articles (which should remove only selected articles to a trash bin):
DELETE /articles
List articles in the trash bin:
GET /trash/articles
I have to implement an operation for restoring "articles" from "/trash/articles" back to "/articles".
And here is the question. Ho do you usually do it? What url do I have to use?
I came up to the 2 ways of doing it. The first is:
DELETE /trash/articles
But it feels strange and a user can read it like "delete it permanently, don't restore".
And the second way is
PUT /trash/articles
Which is more odd and a user will be confused what this operation does.
I'm new to REST, so please advice how you do it normally. I tried to search in google but I don't know how to ask it right, so I didn't get something useful.
Another option could be to use "query params" to define a "complementary action/verb" to cover this "special condition" you have (given that this is not very easily covered by the HTTP verbs). This then could be done for example by:
PUT /trash/articles?restore=true
This would make the URI path still complaint with REST guideline (referring to a resource, and not encoding "actions" - like "restore") and would shift the "extra semantics" of what you want to do (which is a very special situation) to the "query parameter". "Query params" are very commonly used for "filtering" resources in REST, not so much for this kind of situation... but maybe this is a reasonable assumption given your requirements.
I would recommend using
PUT /restore/articles
or
PUT /restore/trash/articles
Late answer but, in my opinion, the best way is to change the resource itself.
For instance:
<article is_in_trash="true">
<title>come title</title>
<body>the article body</body>
<date>1990-01-01</date>
</article>
So, in order to remove the article from Trash, you would simple use PUT an updated version of the article, where is_in_trash="false".
