CodedUI assert a nonexistent element - visual-studio-2013

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

Katalon counting the conditional statements that goes into else block, into failure

I recently started using the Katalon Studio, for automation. While writing the scripts I checked if an object is present or not on the DOM by using:
if(findTestObject('{Object ID}')){
//do some work
} else{
//do another work
}
if the object is found it's all good, but if it isn't, it continues executing in the else block, but in failure log it shows it as a failure. I've tried implementing some of the solutions to fix it that were on the Katalon discussion page, but none of them worked.
Is there any way to stop counting the else block code into failure?
Recommended way is using Verify Element Present. Try changing your script to:
if(WebUI.verifyElementPresent(findTestObject('{Object ID}'), 5)){
//do some work
} else{
//do another work
}
(in this example, '5' is the timeout you expect to find the element in, lower it if needed).
I believe this happens because findTestObject only returns reference to object in Object Repository but does not guarantee the element is really loaded in DOM.

How to validate Browser Error's message with 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.

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

Xpath Part NULL, with xpaths set via content control toolkit

I've been able to set, via code, the xpaths for the placeholders found in the document.
for (Object o : finderSdtRun.results) {
if (o instanceof SdtRun){
SdtPr sdtPr=((SdtRun) o).getSdtPr();
Tag t = sdtPr.getTag();
CTDataBinding ctDataBinding = Context.getWmlObjectFactory().createCTDataBinding();
//JAXBElement jaxbDB = Context.getWmlObjectFactory().createSdtPrDataBinding(ctDataBinding);
sdtPr.setDataBinding(ctDataBinding);
ctDataBinding.setXpath("tuttappostaferragost");
ctDataBinding.setStoreItemID("something");
ObjectFactory factory = new org.opendope.xpaths.ObjectFactory();
DataBinding db = factory.createXpathsXpathDataBinding();
db.setXpath("tuttappostaferragost");
db.setStoreItemID("something");
Xpaths.Xpath xp = factory.createXpathsXpath();
xp.setDataBinding(db);
xp.setId("something");
try {
wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getXPathsPart().getContents().getXpath().add(xp);
} catch (Docx4JException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
;
The problem is that, once set, they are not recognized by word, so I thought to add the created Xpaths to a new XpathPart, and then add it to the main Document part.
But I failed because the method:
wordMLPackage.getMainDocumentPart().getXPathsPart()
returns null. This sounded reasonable, since only content control was set, without any Xpath.
Then I set the Xpaths via content control toolkit and the same line of code like above, returned me null, which added a lot of confusion in my yet confused ideas.
Is there any way to tell the document that new Xpath have been added to the document?
I mean, if there is a way to add Xpath via code (the w:databinding w:storedItemId tags), why it is not possible to make it work?
In general I want to add Xpath and all information necessary, via code, avoiding the use of any toolkit.
Thank you :D
First, you have to decide whether you want plain old Word databinding, or the additional OpenDoPE capabilities (which use the content control tag to support repeats, conditionals etc).
You only need an XPaths part if you are using the OpenDoPE extensions.
I'll assume for now that you are just looking to do basic Word content control databinding.
To set that up programmatically, you need to add a custom xml part, and a rel from it to its itemProps.xml part, which contains something like:
<ds:datastoreItem ds:itemID="{5448916C-134B-45E6-B8FE-88CC1FFC17C3}" xmlns:ds="http://schemas.openxmlformats.org/officeDocument/2006/customXml">
<ds:schemaRefs/>
</ds:datastoreItem>
(to add a part B to part A, use partA.addTargetPart)
You can see it is this part with gives the custom xml part its itemID; this corresponds with the value you set in:
DataBinding db = factory.createXpathsXpathDataBinding();
db.setStoreItemID("something");
Then, set the XPath via the method you were using.

Grails filter stops working after

I have a filter set up as follow to control users login status.
class SecurityFilters {
def filters = {
login(controller:'login|logout|proxy|API|error', action:'*', invert: true) {
before = {
if (!session.isLoggedIn){
switch(controllerName){
case "enroll":
switch(actionName){
...
default:
log.warn "Permission Denied. Default action for enroll."
render(view: '/permissionDenied', model: [message: "You must be logged in to access the enroll system. If you are a consumer, please contact your agent for more information."])
break
}
break
...
}
else {
switch(controllerName){
case "agent":
if (!session.user.isAgent) {
render view: "/permissionDenied", model: [message: 'This portion of the site is only available to agents.']
return false
}
break
....
}// switch
}// else
}// before
...
}// login
}// filters
The problem I am having is that when I run this in development it works fine but when I run it on our QA system it works fine for a while and then suddenly it stops working correctly.
I added logging and I can see that the session information is available in the filter and the session variable (session.user.isAgent) is set correctly (true) but the code inside the if(!session.user.isAgent) gets executed regardless.
I can's seem to find the cause for odd behaviour.
My question is has anyone seen this behaviour before and how did they solve it or have any ideas of where to look for probable cause for the sudden change in the way the filter is working.
Thanks in advance.
UPDATE (02/19/2014):
After adding more logging in an effort to hunt down the cause the filter did not execute the code in the if(!session.user.isAgent) as it was doing before. Now it runs normally and then executes only the render line for when the user is not logged in. The logging still show that the user is logged in and that (s)he is an agent but then it runs the render but not the lines of code above it. It is as if there was a "goto" the render line after it completes checking if the agent is logged in.
Again any information or solution would be appreciated
I've had a few issues with filters and Groovy truth. The problem I was seeing was that no errors were logged, even with aggressive exception catching (i.e. catching Throwable) and the only output in the browser was a blank page. This seems to happen only in Filters- everywhere else the errors get logged.
In my case, the issue was down to Groovy truth. I was trying to set a Boolean attribute on the session, but every time I did this it failed. In the end I had to convert the value to a String, and then set it, and it worked.
I know this isn't a direct answer, but I've been bitten a few times by the above and for example, lazy GString evaluation.
If you're still debugging, I'd log some output showing the underlying Class type of what you think you're dealing with. It may be that when your boolean conditions are evaluated above an exception is being thrown and swallowed. I'd log the actual values of each of your conditional statements to see what they are. Also remove each line one by one, to see if the failure goes away. And/or replace your conditionals with absolute values i.e. true/false to see if the code gets executed. If it does, it points to an error in the current conditional evaluation.
