How can I get this input element by name?
<input min="0" class="" name="details["contactEmail"]" type="email" autocomplete="off" value="">
I tried this but it doesn't work
cy.get('[name="details["contactEmail"]"]').type('tara#gmail.com')
also this:
cy.get('[name="details[\"contactEmail\"]"]').type('tara#gmail.com')
I also tried using a lot of combinations on the name attribute by escaping the characters but nothing worked. One suggestion that worked for me was to use the combination of the partial value of the name attribute and the type value. Something like:
cy.get('[name*="details"][type="email"]').type('test')
Or, if you just want to use the name attribute or the type attribute, that works as well.
cy.get('[name*="details"]').type('test')
cy.get('[type="email"]').type('test')

I am using Custom ForRequest class to validate my form, it works fine. But when it redirects back on form page, the form is not populated.
I don't want to use
old('form_field_name')
My code will be weird if I use old('form_field_name') because I use same form to store and to update the model
What am I missing?
thanks
if you use the same form for store and update, use old with optional. just like
<input name="name" id="name" placeholder="Name" type="text" class="form-control" value="{{ old('name', optional($object)->name) }}">
this is the way you can get the old form values as well as the object values. if there is old value it will put that as value otherwise it will put the object value as value.
make sure to send the object as null from the create function.
I have a search form input where i want to display the searchterm value in the searchbox after searching on the results page.
I tried the following which is not working
<input type="text" name="search" value="{{ old('search') }}" placeholder="Search help articles" class="form-control form-control-gray col-md-10">
What is incorrect in the value=""
old() is used when flashing data to the session. This is mostly used for forms which involve redirects back when something fails. Read about old input here.
request() should be used here since you're wanting to display the value that was submitted on that request.
Instead of showing ../product/1
$breadcrumbs->push($name,url('/product/'.$id));
I want it to be displayed as ../product
Any method can be used to do this ?
Use hidden input field like:
<input name="id" value="{{$id}}" hidden>
Not a too good practice, But you can hide id parameter from url
I'm trying to cover my project with test and faced with problem.
The "press" method of TestCase fails with 'InvalidArgumentException: Unreachable field ""'
However the "see" method sees the needed button
Besides another form on another page tests fine
Hours of debug show me that the issue might be in the fact that the problem form has multiple (with this brackets []) inputs
Test code that fails
$this->type($params['from'], 'from[]');
$this->type($params['event'], 'event[]');
$this->type($params['class'], 'class[]');
$this->type($params['method'], 'method[]');
$this->press('save_handlers');
With form and button everythings is okey
Button:
<button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary btn-block" name="save_handlers">Save</button>
And of course button is in the form tag
Indeed, the problem is linked with the fact that there are attributes with brackets[].
I just had the same problem. I'm using a form with multiple checkboxes, and all of them have the same name (but different id) : codes[]. I'm doing this in order to retrieve them later (in a controller) simply as an array of values.
<input id="perm-0" type="checkbox" name="codes[]" value="perm-0" />
<input id="perm-1" type="checkbox" name="codes[]" value="perm-1" />
<input id="perm-2" type="checkbox" name="codes[]" value="perm-2" />
My friend var_dump() told me that the Symfony component which parses the form inputs doesn't like it when I'm using codes[] with nothing inside the brackets. It is seen as two fields : "codes" and "" instead of codes[]. That's causing the Unreachable field "" error.
A simple solution I found is to simply add an explicit index for the codes[] array :
<input id="perm-0" type="checkbox" name="codes[0]" value="perm-0" />
<input id="perm-1" type="checkbox" name="codes[1]" value="perm-1" />
<input id="perm-2" type="checkbox" name="codes[2]" value="perm-2" />
This way each checkbox is distinct from others, and the method press() does not cause the error any more.
It seems that this doesn't affect the processing of the resulting array in my controller.
This seems rather confusing seeing as the docs state this:
"Press" a button with the given text or name.
While the docblock above the actual press method states the following:
Submit a form using the button with the given text value.
So instead of using the value of the name attribute (save_handler) use the actual text (Save).
$this->press('Save');
All of the elements are dynamic. I can see only Placeholder which is unique from the following html:-
<input
id="ext-gen1617"
type="text"
size="20"
class="x-form-field x-form-text x-form-focus"
autocomplete="off"
aria-invalid="false"
placeholder="Gender"
data-errorqtip=""
role="textbox"
aria-describedby="combobox-1166-errorEl"
aria-required="true"
style="width: 78px;"
/>
I need to get the value displayed in
placeholder="Gender".
I tried using
//input[#placeholder='Gender']
But my webdriver script failed to identify it.
Can anyone please help me out with possible solution to it?
String s=driver.findElement(By.xpath("//input[#placeholder='Gender']")).getAttribute("placeholder");
System.out.println(s);
To get an attribute for a filed, you can use the .getAttribute() method.
I assume you are dealing with (front end)script generated web elements, then you must need to embrace lean way of thinking. Don't try to pull out a web element by it's property alone. If you are not getting them try to build a xpath from its parent or siblings.
say, the HTML goes like this,
<div id="somestatic id">
<div id="xyz">
<input name="dynamic one"/>
</div>
</div>
Then you can build a xpath as ,
//*[#id='staticID']/div/input
for the HTML,
<div id="staticID"></div>
<input name="dynamic one"/>
the xpath is ,
//*[#id='staticID']/following-sibling::input
similarly there are n number of option available. Give them a try
Try
driver.findElement(
By.cssSelector("input[id*='ext-gen']")
).getAttribute("placeholder")
Let me know is the above statement is working or not.
The best way is to find the element with CSS selector in this case -
input[placeholder='Gender'], which can easily find the element.
