Selenium - Regular Expressions, Dynamic Objects

Hi Guys,


I am using selenium RC with Visual Studio 2010 IDE  and created tests.
Also i am using Selenium RC with Eclipse...


Here i am listed out some ideas in identifying dynamic objects.
Take your Object id looks like "ctl00_MainEntry_AreaCreationControl_AreaGridView_ctl12_AreaNameFooterTextBox"
Here ctl12 is the part which is changing part based on which row / session...But you want to enter the value irrespective of row position..


Here you have to use regular expressions

  1. //input[Contains(@id,'ctl00_MainEntry_AreaCreationControl_AreaGridView_ctl') and Contains(@id,'_AreaNameFooterTextBox')]
  2. //input[@id,RegExp:'ctl00_MainEntry_AreaCreationControl_AreaGridView_ctl??_AreaNameFooterTextBox']
  3. //input[@id,glob:'ctl00_MainEntry_AreaCreationControl_AreaGridView_ctl*_AreaNameFooterTextBox']
  4. //*@id,glob:'ctl00_MainEntry_AreaCreationControl_AreaGridView_ctl*_AreaNameFooterTextBox']

If all the above methods are not working for you, then try these...

  1. //input[contains(@name,concat("starttext","_","middle","_")) and contains(@name,"endtext")]
  2. css=input[id$='starttext'] --- this means starts-with
  3. css=input[id^='endtext'] --- this means ends-with
  4. input[starts-with(@id='starttext')] --- this means starts-with
  5. input[ends-with(@id='endtext')] --- this means ends-with
Hope any one of the above solution will work....

Change IE Browser ZOOM settings

Lot of UI automation testers could have faced this problem as we could change the zoom settings while operating manually for our convenience and forgot to reset to 100%. But our QTP and some other related tools would operate the browser perfectly if browser zoom is 100%. So wee need to change the zoom before start to run the scripts. Its better to have a code snippet in our framework to change this zoom setting right? Here we go... 1. We can simply change the Registry values before Invoking IE Function  ChangeRegistry   Dim  objShell   Set  objShell =  CreateObject ( "WScript.Shell" )  objShell.RegWrite  "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Zoom\ZoomFactor" ,  "100000" ,  "REG_DWORD"   Set  objShell =  Nothing End   Function This option is very useful. But in real time, lot of customers could have restricted write access to windows registry. So we can try othe...
