How do we use selenium webdriver + ruby to check to see if the value of a text field is equal to a certain value?
I was doing:
#tester.browser.find_element(:id => "id_of_text_field").text.should == 'test value'
Why doesn't that work?
this test failed ... couldn't get the value of the text field.
Text fields do not have text. The value you see in the text field is actually the value of their value attribute.
You can get an element's value attribute by doing:
element['value']
Therefore, your test needs to do:
#tester.browser.find_element(:id => "id_of_text_field")['value'].should == 'test value'
Write as below using should eql(expected)
Passes if given and expected are of equal value, but not necessarily the same object.
# I write in below way, just for readability, you can write it in one line.
elem = #tester.browser.find_element(:id => "id_of_text_field")
elem.text.should eql('test value')

I'd like to validate the text of an element (p element, for instance) with the help of Cypress.
I have used this code:
cy.get('#word').should('have.value', 'Color')
and I received this:
expected <p#word> to have value Color, but the value was ''
Evidently, it validates the CSS but not the html element value. How can I validate the element content here?
If you are asserting the inner Text, instead of have.value you have to use have.text.
cy.get('#word').should('have.text', 'Color')
Or, If you want to assert a partial string, you can use include.text
cy.get('#word').should('include.text', 'Color')
I need to write a method which will get text with the help of index number from popup and then i need to compare with the expected text
i.e i need to verify expected plan name is displayed at the bottom of the popup box
Setting the correct id for the query (which you can get by doing on calabash console the command query("*", :id)) on code below should do the trick. If you can't use id try to get another component property (like Android component by using query("*") ) and set the query inside theget_text calls.
def get_text(query)
query(plan_query, :text).first
end
def text_equals(text, expected_text)
unless text == expected_text
fail "#{text} not equal to #{expected_text}"
end
end
def verify_plan(index, expected_text)
plan_text = get_text("* id:'PLAN_TEXTS_ID' index:#{index}") # Can change 'id:...'' by Android class if plan does not have id
expected_text = get_text("* id:'BOTTOM_PLAN_ID'") # Same as above
text_equals(plan_text, expected_text)
end
I'm writing automated tests using Cucumber, Capybara, WebDriver, SitePrism, and Faker. I am new to this and need some help.
I have the following steps..
Given (/^I have created a new active product$/) do
#page = AdminProductCreationPage.new
#page.should be_displayed
#page.producttitle.set Faker::Name.title
#page.product_sku.set Faker::Number.number(8)
click #page.product_save
#page.should have_growl text: 'Save Successful.'
end
When (/^I navigate to that product detail page) do
pending
end
Then (/^All the data should match that which was initially entered$/) do
pending
end
In config/env_config.rb I have set up an empty hash...
Before do
# Empty container for easily sharing data between step definitions
#verify = {}
end
Now I want to hash the value generated by Faker in the Given step so I can validate it saved properly in the When step. I also want to enter the value generated by faker in the script below into a search field.
#page.producttitle.set Faker::Name.title
How do I push the values generated by faker to the #verify has?
How do I pull that value and insert it into a text field?
How do I pull that value to verify the save value equals the value generated by faker?
1. How do I push the values generated by faker to the #verify has?
A hash is simply a dictionary of key-value pairs, which you can set with hash[key] = value.
The key can be a string #verify['new_product_name'] = Faker::Name.title
The key can also be a symbol #verify[:new_product_name] = Faker::Name.title
Since the value you generate may be used multiple times within the step definition (once for storing it in the #verify hash, and once for setting the field value) I personally prefer to first store it in a local variable, and reference that where needed.
new_product_title = Faker::Name.title
#verify[:new_product_title] = new_product_title
2. How do I pull that value and insert it into a text field?
You can reference values by their key. So after you have stored the value in the hash, you could do this
#page.producttitle.set #verify[:new_product_name]
Or if you stored it in a local variable as suggested above, you would just do this
#page.producttitle.set new_product_name
3. How do I pull that value to verify the save value equals the value generated by faker?
Similarly, you can assert that a field value equals what you've stored in the hash. An example would be #page.producttitle.value.should == #verify[:new_product_name]
Putting this all together:
Given (/^I have created a new active product$/) do
#page = AdminProductCreationPage.new
#page.should be_displayed
# Create a new title
new_product_title = Faker::Name.title
# Store the title in the hash for verification
#verify[:new_product_title] = new_product_title
# Set the input value to our new title
#page.producttitle.set new_product_title
#page.product_sku.set Faker::Number.number(8)
click #page.product_save
#page.should have_growl text: 'Save Successful.'
end
When (/^I navigate to that product detail page) do
pending
end
Then (/^All the data should match that which was initially entered$/) do
#page.producttitle.value.should == #verify[:new_product_title]
end
I want input field value to be a number instead of string.
A simple scenario is you have 2 input fields and submit button on a page. When you click submit you should get sum of numbers keyed in both the input fields and not appended strings.
I tried using "number_field_tag" for input type=number but the value is still a String and not Fixnum what I want.
As Surya stated in his comment, what comes from the form fields is always a string. But you can do something like this in the controller action that processes the form (presuming you're using Rails):
def process_form
#result = params[:first_field].to_i + params[:second_field].to_i
end
Pretty positive you have to use .clear, or maybe not as it doesn't seem to be working for me, maybe i'm just implementing it wrong I'm unsure.
Example:
browser.div(:id => "formLib1").clear.type("input", "hi")
Can anyone tell me how to simply clear a field then enter in a new string?
Assuming we are talking about a text field (ie you are not trying to clear/input a div tag), the .set() and .value= methods automatically clear the text field before inputting the value.
So one of the following would work:
browser.text_field(:id, 'yourid').set('hi')
browser.text_field(:id, 'yourid').value = 'hi'
Note that it is usually preferred to use .set since .value= does not fire events.
I had a similar issue, and, for some reason, .set() and .value= were not available/working for the element.
The element was a Watir::Input:
browser.input(:id => "formLib1").to_subtype.clear
after clearing the field I was able to enter text.
browser.input(:id => "formLib1").send_keys "hi"
I had a similar issue, and, for some reason, .set() and .value= were not available for the element.
The element was a Watir::HTMLElement:
[2] pry(#<Object>)> field.class
=> Watir::HTMLElement
field.methods.grep /^(set|clear)$/
=> []
I resorted to sending the backspace key until the value of the field was "":
count = 0
while field.value != "" && count < 50
field.send_keys(:backspace)
count += 1
end
field.send_keys "hi"
