I have three input fields:
cy.get(':nth-child(1) > .input-module_input__3wsvS').should('be.visible').type(foo)
cy.get(':nth-child(2) > .input-module_input__3wsvS').should('be.visible').type(bar)
cy.get(':nth-child(3) > .input-module_input__3wsvS').should('be.visible').type(foo-bar)
How to I get my test to pass? I am using css modules in react. ID-Tags don't seem to work, so any other suggestions?
.first() is ok to identify the 1st, but how would I address the 2nd and 3rd input?
Be careful using the "hash" the originates from frontend websites who use css-modules as any change to the underlying css will change its value and therefore break the tests.
Similarly the more complicated a selector is the more surface area there is for change in the structure of the document to break the test.
.eq() is how you select children by index (0 based) you can find the documentation here:
https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/eq
For projects using css modules i'd suggest using the "starts with" selector
cy.get(`[class^='${cls}']`))
// or add the following command for "partial class" to make writing it easier
Cypress.Commands.add('pclass', (cls) => cy.get(`[class^='${cls}']`));
usage in your example:
cy.get(`[class^='input-module_input']`).eq(1) // (for second child)
// or (After you've added the command)
cy.pclass("input-module_input").eq(1); // (for second child that mathes)
Using .eq() might give you better results
cy.get('.input-module_input__3wsvS').eq(0).should('be.visible').type('foo')
cy.get('.input-module_input__3wsvS').eq(1).should('be.visible').type('bar')
I have a single test case to test a particular scenario in a particular environment everyday, this is automatically done by a jenkins job.
Scenario Outline: Verify a user can book
Given I navigate to the "xxxxx" Page
And I set the "Location" field with "<location>" value
And I click on the "Search" button on "xxxxx" page
Then I verify the "Results" page is displayed
Examples:
| location |
|Boston |
I need to internally have a list of 20 locations and everytime the test case is executed it changes the location some how, can be ramdon or in any order, but always changing.
I'm using cucumber, capybara and of course ruby
Thoughts please?
Cucumber has a lot of limitations in terms of being used as a programming language. It's easier to do this kind of thing if you move it into a ruby file (cucumber files aren't ruby).
One option would be to make a single step that calls these other steps internally. Some people might say it's better to call methods rather than steps from inside other steps, but if you already have your cases written as steps than this will be quicker to do it this way, because you don't have to rewrite the code into methods. It is a good idea to write test code in methods and then call them from steps, by the way, rather than putting all the logic in the test cases.
Cucumber file:
Scenario Outline: Verify a user can book
Given I navigate to the "xxxxx" Page
Then the search bar works
Ruby file:
Then /the search bar works/ do
locations = ["Boston", "Berkeley"].shuffle
locations.each do |location|
step %{I set the "Location" field with "#{location}" value}
step %{I click on the "Search" button on "xxxxx" page}
step %{I verify the "Results" page is displayed}
end
end
Another reason this could be considered nonidiomatic is because it's packing too much into a single test case. However I'm not sure a good way to get around this other than simply copy-pasting the original step definitions in the cucumber file with different hard-coded values.
It's possible
locations = ["Boston", ...]
day_of_the_month = Date.new(2001,2,3).mday
today_location = locations[(day_of_the_month - 1) % locations.count]
I use - 1 in the third line since #mday returns integer from 1 to 31.
A portion of some tests I am writing calls for checking if an option gets removed from a select list once that option has been used. I am inconsistently getting this error: timed out after 60 seconds, waiting for {:xpath=>"//select[#id = 'newIdentifierType']//option", :index=>31} to be located (Watir::Exception::UnknownObjectException)
It causes my test to fail maybe 2-3 times out of 10 runs and seems kind of random. I think Watir is looking for the "old" select list with this ID since it caches the element and may also include that it had 32 items, but it times out since a select list with this ID and 32 items no longer exists. The new select list has the same ID but only 31 items.
Is there a way to always get a new reference on this element even though it's not technically going stale? Am I experiencing this problem due to a different issue?
My current code for getting the options in the select list:
#browser.elements(:xpath => "//select[#id = 'newIdentifierType']//option")
I am using Ruby/Cucumber with Selenium and Watir Webdriver level. I first tried defining the element as a select_list in a page-object but moved it to the step definitions using #browser.element to see if that would stop the timeout. I thought it may ignore Watir's cached elements and get the most current one with the ID, but that does not appear to be the case.
Please avoid using XPath with Watir. Everything you can do with XPath, Watir has a much more readable API to handle.
To check for a specific option not being there, you should avoid collections and locate directly:
el = browser.select_list(id: "newIdentifierType").option(value: "31"))
# or
el = browser.select_list(id: "newIdentifierType").option(text: "This one"))
Then to see if it has gone away:
el.stale?
# or
el.wait_until(:stale?)
That won't test the right thing if the entire DOM has changed, though, so you might need to just relocate:
browser.select_list(id: "newIdentifierType").option(text: "This one")).present?
If you are intent on using a collection, the correct way to get the list of options is:
options = #browser.select(id: 'newIdentifierType').options
el = options.find { |o| o.text == 'This one' }
# Do things
el.stale?
I have recorded a script to Click on an XML file(highlight, right-click and open) from a popup treeview, the popup contains a number of files(varying amounts/types and they can appear in any order), the one I will always want to select always begins with 'AB', the numerics of the filename will change per test however:
SwfWindow("APPMAIN").SwfWindow("2000HOME").SwfTreeView("MainTreeList").SelectCell "AB99872","Object Name"
SwfWindow("APP-MAIN").SwfToolbar("SwfToolbar").Select "Open"
After Recording, I run the script, but I get the following error:
SelectCell :SelectCell :Cannot identify the specified item = AB99872 of the TreeView.
So my question is 2 part:
Why can it not select the file AB99872 after the initial record using SelectCell?
Considering that the filename will change per test(ie... AB*), what is the best way to automate this to be robust enough to select any Filename beginning with 'AB'. I did try UI Automation/Object Recognition and I used a regular expression like ^AB.* but UFT(v12.54) continually crashed with this approach.
You can use the tree's GetContent method and then use regular expressions to find the name of the node to select (then use that value in SelectCell.
Query's throwing an ORA-00907 Error when I try to paste a list of values into a criteria.
Background: I'm not a developer, I'm just an end user that's studied enough to where I can write queries using PS/Query within Peoplesoft,
for my company's implementation. I work with Peoplesoft's FSCM module
(Financials and Supply Chain Management), currently on Version FSCM
8.90.08.024, using I think Oracle 11g as the base database.
I'm mostly self-taught, and the technical experts we have are busy
with database/application stuff, or they aren't familiar with my
section's specific data needs.
I should point out that I'm unable to directly write SQL statements to
Query the database. I have to use a built-in program called "PS/Query"
(also known as Query Manager) with a GUI that writes the SQL for you
and saves it as a Query that you can run to the database to extract
data. This is relevant to my question only in that:
1. I cannot create or alter views/tables
2. I cannot perform any type of SQL Statement except "SELECT"
3. I can embed PL/SQL, MetaSQL and plain SQL into Expressions
4. At this point, Query Manager is the only option I have.
PS/Query is my only experience with SQL so far, aside from Oracle's
documentation and sites like this. From my research, it's considered
extremely confining by "actual" SQL programmers.The restrictions on it
require you to do things in a manner that violates what seem to be
best practices of SQL coding.
Query Request: I have a query I've been requested to write that pulls out spend (on Vouchers and POs) against certain system-defined
Category Codes. What I'm trying to do is pull in Voucher IDs, sum the
merchandise amounts on them by Vendor and Category Code, and display
the results. Or in other words, for every unique combination of
Vendor/Category, add up all the Voucher Amounts that have that
Vendor/Category combination.
Using the SUM (Fieldname) OVER (PARTITION BY fieldname, fieldname)
syntax.
So the end result should look something like...
Code Vendor Amount
123-45 Acme $5000.00
123-45 Apple $4200.00
123-46 Acme $750.00
With that said, here's the SQL that Query Manager is displaying to get the result set I showed above:
SELECT DISTINCT D.CATEGORY_CD, D.TN_DESCR1000, C.VENDOR_ID, E.NAME1, SUM ( A.MERCH_AMT_VCHR) OVER (PARTITION BY D.CATEGORY_CD, C.VENDOR_ID),E.SETID,E.VENDOR_ID
FROM PS_PO_LINE_MATCHED A, PS_PO_LINE B, PS_PO_HDR C, PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D, PS_VENDOR E, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF F
WHERE A.BUSINESS_UNIT = B.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.PO_ID = B.PO_ID
AND A.LINE_NBR = B.LINE_NBR
AND B.BUSINESS_UNIT = C.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND B.PO_ID = C.PO_ID
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = B.CATEGORY_ID
AND D.EFFDT =
(SELECT MAX(D_ED.EFFDT) FROM PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D_ED
WHERE D.SETID = D_ED.SETID
AND D.CATEGORY_TYPE = D_ED.CATEGORY_TYPE
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = D_ED.CATEGORY_CD
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = D_ED.CATEGORY_ID
AND D_ED.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
AND ( F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT >= TO_DATE('2010-07-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
AND F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT <= TO_DATE('2011-06-30','YYYY-MM-DD'))
AND D.CATEGORY_CD LIKE :1
AND E.VENDOR_ID = C.VENDOR_ID
AND A.BUSINESS_UNIT = F.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.VOUCHER_ID = F.VOUCHER_ID
ORDER BY 1
Underlying Issue: This works fine, but it can only prompt on one
Category Code at a time. Category Codes are 5 digits, a 3-digit
"Class" followed by a dash and then a 2-digit "subclass. I have a list
of 375 Category Codes I need to get this Query result for.
I've set up a prompt on this version that allows entry of a Wildcard
(So 123-%%), but that's still about a hundred separate runs of the
Query. Query Manager allows use of an "In List" expression type in
Criteria, but it requires you to manually enter each entry in the
list.
I'm trying to set it up to where I can paste a plaintext copy of the
Code list into an Expression, with proper quotes/commas, and have it
evaluate that to give me a combined list of all the NIGP codes
specified. The Prompt field created by Query Manager doesn't allow
pasting of lists (as far as I know).
Attempted Solution: I viewed the page at http://peoplesoft.ittoolbox.com/groups/technical-functional/peoplesoft-other-l/create-an-expression-in-psoft-90-query-to-paste-a-list-of-emplids-2808427 and I've tried some of the answers given there, but none of them worked. That page led to me trying this modified SQL (obviously the list of codes is truncated a bit for display here):
SELECT DISTINCT D.CATEGORY_CD, D.TN_DESCR1000, C.VENDOR_ID, E.NAME1, SUM ( A.MERCH_AMT_VCHR) OVER (PARTITION BY D.CATEGORY_CD, C.VENDOR_ID),E.SETID,E.VENDOR_ID
FROM PS_PO_LINE_MATCHED A, PS_PO_LINE B, PS_PO_HDR C, PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D, PS_VENDOR E, PS_PYMNT_VCHR_XREF F
WHERE A.BUSINESS_UNIT = B.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.PO_ID = B.PO_ID
AND A.LINE_NBR = B.LINE_NBR
AND B.BUSINESS_UNIT = C.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND B.PO_ID = C.PO_ID
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = B.CATEGORY_ID
AND D.EFFDT =
(SELECT MAX(D_ED.EFFDT) FROM PS_ITM_CAT_TBL D_ED
WHERE D.SETID = D_ED.SETID
AND D.CATEGORY_TYPE = D_ED.CATEGORY_TYPE
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = D_ED.CATEGORY_CD
AND D.CATEGORY_ID = D_ED.CATEGORY_ID
AND D_ED.EFFDT <= SYSDATE)
AND ( F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT >= TO_DATE('2010-07-01','YYYY-MM-DD')
AND F.SCHEDULED_PAY_DT <= TO_DATE('2011-06-30','YYYY-MM-DD'))
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = '005-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00,'' '015-06,'' '015-10,'' '615-07'')
AND E.VENDOR_ID = C.VENDOR_ID
AND A.BUSINESS_UNIT = F.BUSINESS_UNIT
AND A.VOUCHER_ID = F.VOUCHER_ID
ORDER BY 1
And the SQL above is what's giving me the ORA-00907 error. Has anyone ran into this problem before? Massive wall of text, I know. My apologies. This is my first post here and I'm trying not to leave anything relevant out.
I've got the immediate problem that spurred this question fixed,but that request is just the tip of a very large iceberg, and at some point I need to figure out a way to be able to paste plaintext lists in as criteria using Query Manager, preferably in a way that plays nice with Analytic Grouping.
TL;DR version:
Using Peoplesoft Query Manager to do an Analytic SUM with grouping using OVER, PARTITION BY. When I try to paste a list into the criteria, it throws an ORA-00907 Error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Ok, after a bit more tweaking with this, I've found what I think is the underlying issue.
The error, in this case, is two-fold. Part of it was my fault (I didn't check for Peoplesoft mangling the quotation marks I pulled from Word), and part of it was the way Query Manager interprets some kinds of functions (you have to wrap some stuff in a Case When statement to get it to evaluate properly).
First, the "My Fault" part:
Every time I was pasting in my list of test NIGP Codes, I was doing it from a file I kept saved in Microsoft Word.
Which has the probably-handy "replace straight quotes with smart quotes" feature. Peoplesoft goes bonkers when its presented a "smart quote", and will display them as upside-down question marks (there's probably a technical term, I don't know it).
So when I'd test suggestions (such as fixing the quote/comma order as suggested by #Rene Nyffenegger and #WayneH) I'd start with my base test query, add in the expressions and test it, saving it as a separate query. If they didn't work, I'd go back to the base query. That way I could iterate changes and save potential tests as different versions.
My mistake was in not saving the different versions, leaving the application and going back in. It's when you save the query, leave the page, go somewhere else in Peoplesoft, then go back to open Query Manager that it actually shows you that it's doing the character conversion. You can't see it unless you do that. Even though Query Manager is doing it. So it was throwing a character Query Manager wouldn't recognize, but not showing me the character it wouldn't recognize.
I got a new work PC recently, and I've now disabled the Smart Quotes auto-replace for future use.
Second, the "Query Manager: part:
On the version of this that I got to work, I made use of wrapping the "IN" function inside a Case statement. I've found that a lot of SQL functions, when used "plain" (as I'd define them by just copy-pasting from Oracle's definitions pages and filling in the appropriate variables) tend to give PS/Query (Query Manager) heartburn. But if you wrap them inside a CASE...WHEN...END statement that evaluates the result of the function and then build a criteria that selects based on certain values of that result, the function will work and properly display a result.
So for an example, set up this expression (like in the example from #qyb2zm302). I'm using different codes from what was in my original example, but they work the same (they're all five-digit, character-typed codes consisting of three digits, a dash, then two digits)
Case when E.CATEGORY_CD IN
('375-15', '375-30', '375-54', '375-60', '380-30','938-63')
then 'true'
else 'false'
end
And then set a criteria:
AND
Case when E.CATEGORY_CD IN
('375-15', '375-30', '375-54', '375-60', '380-30','938-63')
then 'true'
else 'false'
end
= 'true'
It'll run to completion and return any rows that have that Category Code.
If you don't want to do that, you can do like in #qyb2zm302's Method 2. The only downside to that in Query Manager is that you have to enter them into individual rows in the "List", and if you can only copy-paste 25 at a time.
Wrapping it in a Case Statement lets you paste it directly into an Expression, which is far better for larger lists.
Solutions:
The above is the code I went with that worked. It's simplifying a bit for brevity's sake, but it works.
In List works through the native Query Manager option as long as you manually-populate the list
D.CATEGORY_CD = '005-00' OR works as long as you wrap it in a Case Statement
D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07') works as long as you wrap it in a Case Statement
Peoplesoft hates Smart Quotes. None of the above will work if you're copying quotation marks directly from Word, but you won't see it unless you save, leave and come back to the same query in edit mode
Formatting is important. All of the above require the proper comma/quotation formatting, as pointed out by Rene and Wayne. Meaning: ('xxx-xx', 'xxx-01','xxx-02') etc
Thanks to everyone who helped on this! I don't think I've head-desked this hard before on any question, but I guess that's part of the learning process. Since all the answers posted are valid and correct (or at least a portion of the larger "correct"), I'm going to flag them all.
The
D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00,'' '015-06,'' '015-10,'' '615-07'')
part looks fishy to me
Since a '' within a string "evaluates" to a single ' the first string is
'015-00,'' '
followed by (the non-string)
015-06,
The following '' is probably the thing that the parser stumbles upon since it's pretty meaningless.
Edit try it with a D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07').
Following the link you posted, I see 2 methods for doing what you are trying to accomplish.
I also notice that you tried a 3rd method.
Method 1
Criteria > Add Criteria
Expression Type: Character
Length: 255
Expression Text: D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07') AND 1
Condition Type: equal to
Constant: 1
Method 2
Criteria > Add Criteria
Field: D.CATEGORY_CD
Condition Type: in list
Value: 015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07
Method 3 (Your Method)
Criteria > Add Criteria
Field: D.CATEGORY_CD
Condition Type: equal to
Define Expression: '015-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07')
Question) Does the below exactly match the text you are putting the Expression box?
'015-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00','015-06','015-10','615-07')
If not, what are you putting in that box?
I think the D.CATEGORY_CD criteria are giving you the problems, I changed the double quotes to single quotes and then it still looked strange to me. I then notice the commas are inside your quotes and not between them, try making the one criteria line look like this:
before:
OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00,'' '015-06,'' '015-10,'' '615-07'')
after:
OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07')
Also, the "IN" is an implied "OR" and I am not sure if you have parenthesis around the two D.CATEGORY_CD,
I would just put the one additional code into the IN criteria and remove the "D.CATEGORY_CD =" line:
before:
AND D.CATEGORY_CD = '005-00' OR D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07')
after:
AND D.CATEGORY_CD IN ('015-00', '015-06', '015-10', '615-07', '005-00')
Of course, you are already ordering by CATEGORY_CD, you could remove this criteria and pull all categories in one run (that is unless there are too many rows for excel), and then you might also want to include either VENDOR_ID or NAME1 in the ORDER BY clause.
Hope that helps you.
