How to validate Browser Error's message with cypress - cypress

For example if user dont fill this field and press "continue" button, this error message will pop up.
I wonder is there a way with Cypress that I check that error message was displayed?
Kind regards

You can make this assert : cy.get('input:invalid').should('have.length', 1)
See https://github.com/cypress-io/cypress-documentation/pull/1919/files how to assert the validation message

I know this is an older question but here is another solution.
cy.get(`[data-testid="XXXX"]`)
.invoke('prop', 'validationMessage')
.should((text: string) => {
expect(text).to.contain(YYYY);
});
Using the above code here is what happens:
You grab the input / textarea element using cy.get Note: it is recommended to use a data-testid or obtain the element by something less brittle so the test doesn't fail if the text changes etc.
Using the invoke method, you can check validationMessage against prop then then, obtain the inner text and use expect to check if it's valid. This is very handy if you use custom validation messages.

What would be an easy way to check if a `q-input` element is in a error state?

I have q q-input with a data-cy="inputEmail" property
Is there an easy way to check if the q-input is in an error state ?
The data-cy prop is attached to the native input element and it looks like the only way is to use some relatively complex css selectors, for instance by checking if the input's parent's parent has a text-negative class ?
Ideally from an e2e perspective you want to test for what a user sees, for the presence/absence of the error message
cy.get('[data-cy="inputEmail"]')
.parent('.q-input')
.should('contain', 'must be a valid email')
If you look at the DOM, nothing changes on the input itself.
So assuming that in the error state text-negative class is added to the element, so you can assert the presence of this class like:
cy.get('q-input selector').should('have.class', 'text-negative')

Change error system message in oracle apex

I have a form page and all field is required when press save the below message appear
How i can change this message to custom message "please fill all required fields " , and how i can clear error when enter value (when value change to not null).
I can't see images at the moment.
However, one option might be to create your own validation which returns error text. Something like
if :P1_NAME is null then
return ('Name must be entered');
end if;
Messages are automatically cleared once you submit the page and there are no errors left.
I am not sure if you can change system messages but you can add custom error messages with javascript if a change happens in any item.
Add a change event to the item that runs javascript and use the following code:
var item = apex.item('P1_ITEM').getValue();
if(item == null) {
//First clear the errors
apex.message.clearErrors();
// Now show new errors
apex.message.showErrors([
{
type: "error",
location: [ "page", "inline" ],
pageItem: "P1_ITEM",
message: "Name is required!",
unsafe: false
},
{
type: "error",
location: "page",
message: "Page error has occurred!",
unsafe: false
}
]);
}
However, this will not stop the user from submitting, it only allows you to better display the messages, so you must add the corresponding validations after submit.
If you want to remove the system error message from the required items, you can disable the option of Value Required on item and add a custom validation as they told you in the other response.
If you want to explore all the apex.message options better, I recommend this documentation:
https://docs.oracle.com/database/apex-5.1/AEAPI/apex-message-namespace.htm#AEAPI-GUID-D15040D1-6B1A-4267-8DF7-B645ED1FDA46
More documentation for apex.item:
https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E71588_01/AEAPI/apex-item.htm#AEAPI29448
There are some ways for how to do such things.
Firstly you have the custom Validations you can make, these are awesome and you should really try to use them if possible.
Then there is also the Error message on the saving procedure, but this just throws a custom message on procedure fail so I never use it.
What you appear to be seeing there is that you got an error message and didnt change the fields associated with the error.
If the save procedure is custom, you can also put in an EXCEPTION block before the END, and catch errors there and throw out a custom error with a custom error message.
Another thing I really like is to actually rename some common errors so I dont have to catch them all individually. Say clients may often times try to save identical data, thus breaking the PK. Oracle will throw an error, but the message is good for the developer, but less understandable for the client whom I always assume is a 3 year old kid who can barely read and will cry over everything. So I make an error handling function, add it to apex, and so when the error occurs, it throws a nice message informing the client that they have tried to add some data that already exists.
So, an error handling function associated with APEX, to rename some normal errors.
Good luck

How do i clear a multi-select input using Cypress?

How do i clear (deselect) all options within a multi-select input using Cypress?
The documentation here does not seem to cover this scenario: https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/select.html#Syntax
The clear() command apparently cannot be applied to selects, as you might expect
https://docs.cypress.io/api/commands/clear.html#Syntax
I have tried passing an empty string / array / null to select() but i get the following error:
CypressError: Timed out retrying: cy.select() failed because it could not find a single <option> with value or text matching: ''
Since Cypress 8.6.0, this is supported in Cypress: https://stackoverflow.com/a/69537449/3474615
Before 8.6.0:
You can use cy.invoke() to call the .val('') method on the underlying JQuery element, which will cause it to be cleared.
Like this:
cy.get('select')
.invoke('val', '')
Note that this will not emit the change event. If you want to test that your code reacts to the change event, you can cause it to be emitted with cy.trigger():
cy.get('select')
.invoke('val', '')
.trigger('change')
I've also filed a feature request for this functionality, as it does seem like something that should be included with Cypress by default.
cy.select([])
cy.select([]) called with an empty array, can now be used to clear selections on all options.
Note: update cypress to v8.6.0 or higher to work.

SonarJs still shows warning about postMessage cross-domain issue

The error message is "make sure this cross-domain message is being sent to the intended domain".
This check rule from RSPEC-2819
Authors should not use the wildcard keyword ( *) in the targetOrigin argument in messages that contain any confidential information, as otherwise there is no way to guarantee that the message is only delivered to the recipient to which it was intended.
I assume it demands * cannot be used as targetOrigin, But It still shows warning when I use intended domain as targetOrigin like below:
Please somebody can tell me how to pass this check,
Any help would be appreciated
This rule detects only if a method postMessage is invoked on an object with a name containing window in it. Source code: PostMessageCheck.java. To bypass it, just assign your contentWindow object into different one, like this:
var content = this.elem.contentWindow;
content.postMessage('your message', window.location.origin);
Have faced similar issue in sonarQube. Below fix worked. Just get rid of using window object using directly.
Actual code:
window.parent.postMessage("data", parenturl);
Fix:
var content=window;
content.parent.postMessage("data",parenturl);

CodedUI assert a nonexistent element

my problem is that I want to check that an element is not displayed. In other words I want to check that an element was deleted.
So I am developing an automatic test that has a option to disable comments. I want to check that the textfield for the comments is nonexistent. Is there any easy way to do this?
You need to distinguish between the element (a text field or something) being not displayed and it being empty.
If the field is displayed but is empty then a simple assertion that the value is the empty string will work.
If the field is not displayed at all then an attempt on an assertion will fail with a control not found exception. The relevant code can be enclosed within a try-catch block that expects to catch the exception
try {
... access the control...;
Assert.Fail("The control was found but it should not be present.");
}
catch (UITestControlNotFoundException ) {
// Success path.
}
Make sure that the ... access the control...; checks for the correct level in thy control hierarchy. You may also want to enclose it with code to fail quickly when the control is not present, by default Coded UI may wait in case the application is slow to draw the control.
Try this :
Bool isExists = (Boolean)BrowserWindow.ExecuteScript("return $('#yourcontrolId').length > 0;");
if(isExists)
Assert.Fail("Control is not deleted");
// Success Code
