Using Watir Webdriver, I wanted to have a helper that would check for any element with given id. I may not know what type it is ( button or link or text). Can I just do
browser.Element(:id, id).exists
All of the examples i've found on google check against a specific element type, as in
browser.button(:id," ").exits
If there is a way, please share the syntax.
In Watir-Webdriver, I would use something like this:
browser.element(class: 'post-tag').exists?
which would find the watir-webdriver tag on this page and report that it exists. Note that I used the 1.9 syntax instead of the alternative syntaxes of:
browser.element(:class => 'post-tag').exists?
or
browser.element(:class, 'post-tag').exists?
As Dave points out, there is #element method. (You were wrong just in capitalization, it is not #Element.)
Since you are asking about accessing it using id attribute, try this:
browser.element(:id => id)
I've never gotten .exists? to work right on it's own.
What I've had to use in these cases has been to explicitly validate the "exist?"... like:
cf_checbox = #browser.text_field(:id=>'continue-ring', :value=>true).exists?
assert( cf_description == true)
without that explicit assertion, I would always get a "true" even when the value didn't exist.

Programming Gatling performance test I need to check, if the HTML returned from server contains a predefined string. It it does, break the test with an error.
I did not find out how to do it. It must be something like this:
val scn = scenario("CheckAccess")
.exec(http("request_0")
.get("/")
.headers(headers_0)
.check(css("h1").contains("Access denied")).breakOnFailure()
)
I called the wished features "contains" and "breakOnFailure". Does Gatling something similar?
Better solutions:
with one single CSS selector:
.check(css("h1:contains('Access denied')").notExists)
with substring:
.check(substring("Access denied").notExists)
Note: if what you're looking for only occurs at one place in your response payload, substring is sure more efficient, as it doesn't have to parse it into a DOM.
Here ist the solution
.check(css("h1").transform((s: String) => s.indexOf("Access denied"))
.greaterThan(-1)).exitHereIfFailed
You can write it very simple like:
.check(css("h1", "Access denied").notExists)
If you are not sure about H1 you can use:
.check(substring("Access denied").notExists)
IMO server should respond with proper status, thus:
.check(status.not(403))
Enjoy and see http://gatling.io/docs/2.1.7/http/http_check.html for details
EDIT:
My usage of CSS selector is wrong see Stephane Landelle solution with CSS.
I'm using substring way most of the time :)
I want to search for a project where a custom field is not null. Something like this:
GET /attask/api/project/search?status_mod=notnull&&DE:Custom Field_mod=notnull
I see it's working for normal fields, but when I try this for a custom field it's crashing, when I extend the field with _mod.
I'm a bit late on this but have you tried something like this?
GET /attask/api/project/search?status_mod=notnull&DE:Custom Field=0&DE:Custom Field_mod=notnull?
You usually need to give it a value before you try to modify the value from what i understand.
You can use below request url
GET attask/api/project/search?apiKey=xxxxx&status_mod=notnull&categoryID_Mod=notnull
It will return all project which contains custom_fields(part of category)
GET attask/api/project/search?apiKey=xxxxx&status_mod=notnull&DE:Custom Field_Mod=notnull
you need to use "_Mod" (M in caps) with any custom_field which should be present on Workfront.
I feel like I must be missing something obvious. I know the XPath to a WebElement and I want to compare the text in that element to some string.
Say the XPath for the element is /html/body/div/a/strong and I want to compare it to $str.
So it shows up in source like ...<strong>find this string</strong>
So I say
use strict;
use warnings;
use Selenium::Remote::Driver;
# Fire up a Selenium object, get to the page, etc..
Test::More::ok($sel->find_element("/html/body/div/a") eq $str, "Text matched");
When I run this the test fails when it should pass. When I try to print the value of find_element($xpath) I get some hash reference. I've googled around some and find examples telling me to try find_element($xpath)->get_text() but get_text() isn't even a method in the original package. Is it an obsolete method that used to actually work?
Most of the examples online for this module say "It's easy!" then show me how to get_title() but not how to check the text at an XPath. I might be going crazy.
Following up on our comment thread, I'm posting this as an answer:
Selenium::Remote::WebDriver definitely has a method named find_element(), and Selenium::Remote::WebElement definitely has a method named get_text().
Something like this...
my $text = $sel->find_element(...)->get_text();
...works fine on my end, though it looks like it'll error out if the element isn't found.
While testing code in the google chrome developer console, i get
[]
and sometimes i get "".
The later shows up,when i think there not such strings available with the current selector combinations.But i still couldn't figure out the meaning of the former [] square brakets.
Please help.
With the information that you've given, all we can do is make assumptions. However, when you're logging things to the console, [] is an empty array, whereas "" is an empty string.
[] are returned whenever you jquery returns empty object. i.e. you selector expression cant locate what you are trying to search.
whereas "" is just simple string
i looked into your given site..
when i tried :
$('.four columns alpha') i get object[] (which means there jquery is returning empty object)
but when you write correct expression like :
$('.four.columns') you will get array of Div's which can be used like object.
Hope i'm able to make you understand. if any doubts do write.
And $('.four columns alpha') this is not the right way to select div's with more than one css class right way is to do something like below:
$('.four.columns.alpha')
I'm using a plugin and want to perform an action based on the records statuscode value. I've seen online that you can use entity.FormattedValues["statuscode"] to get values from option sets but when try it I get an error saying "The given key was not present in the dictionary".
I know this can happen when the plugin cant find the change for the field you're looking for, but i've already checked that this does exist using entity.Contains("statuscode") and it passes by that fine but still hits this error.
Can anyone help me figure out why its failing?
Thanks
I've not seen the entity.FormattedValues before.
I usually use the entity.Attributes, e.g. entity.Attributes["statuscode"].
MSDN
Edit
Crm wraps many of the values in objects which hold additional information, in this case statuscode uses the OptionSetValue, so to get the value you need to:
((OptionSetValue)entity.Attributes["statuscode"]).Value
This will return a number, as this is the underlying value in Crm.
If you open up the customisation options in Crm, you will usually (some system fields are locked down) be able to see the label and value for each option.
If you need the label, you could either do some hardcoding based on the information in Crm.
Or you could retrieve it from the metadata services as described here.
To avoid your error, you need to check the collection you wish to use (rather than the Attributes collection):
if (entity.FormattedValues.Contains("statuscode")){
var myStatusCode = entity.FormattedValues["statuscode"];
}
However although the SDK fails to confirm this, I suspect that FormattedValues are only ever present for numeric or currency attributes. (Part-speculation on my part though).
entity.FormattedValues work only for string display value.
For example you have an optionset with display names as 1, 2, 3,
The above statement do not recognize these values because those are integers. If You have seen the exact defintion of formatted values in the below link
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-in/library/microsoft.xrm.sdk.formattedvaluecollection.aspx
you will find this statement is valid for only string display values. If you try to use this statement with Integer values it will throw key not found in dictionary exception.
So try to avoid this statement for retrieving integer display name optionset in your code.
Try this
string Title = (bool)entity.Attributes.Contains("title") ? entity.FormattedValues["title"].ToString() : "";
When you are talking about Option set, you have value and label. What this will give you is the label. '?' will make sure that the null value is never passed.
