getting "FindAll is not a function" error
Hi folks, Any idea why I'm getting error "FindAll is not a function"? Below code successfully returns parentElement object, But when I try to call FindAll with the obtained object, it fails with the...

It's an Angular-based app. I just found a public sample page, where this can be tested:
https://material.angular.dev/components/chips/overview#autocomplete
I've updated the test project with this particular page and elements.
Basically, I need to find all mat-chip-rows and click [x] button for each row. Of course, I know there is an easy way to achieve this by using name mapping and simple loop. But I can't use it that way. This project is just a simplified sample. In original project, I'm collecting all form inputs (using the complicated xpath) and do various things for each input. Basically collecting IDs/values, storing them in JSON, eventually loading IDs/values from JSON and filling individual form inputs. Therefore, I'm working on a generic method, which should work with various forms, containing variable number and types of elements.

Champion Level 3Not sure if this is helpful, but here's a few coding examples that highlights the button. Example 4 highlights and deletes. Name mappings are not used
function examples()
{
// Using Chrome, navigate to https://material.angular.dev/components/chips/examples
var page = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("https://material.angular.dev/components/chips/examples");
var panel = page.FindElement("//example-viewer[@id='chips-reactive-form']//chips-reactive-form-example/section/mat-form-field//mat-chip-grid[@role='grid']");
// Example 1
var items = panel.FindAll(["CustomObjectType", "contentText"], ["MatChipRow", "regexp:(how-to.*)"], 100);
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
Sys.HighlightObject(items[i]);
}
// Example 2
var items = panel.FindAll(["CustomObjectType", "contentText"], ["MatChipRow", "tutorial*"], 100);
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
Sys.HighlightObject(items[i]);
}
// Example 3
var items = panel.FindElements("//span[@aria-describedby='mat-mdc-chip-7-aria-description']|//span[@aria-describedby='mat-mdc-chip-4-aria-description']");
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
Sys.HighlightObject(items[i]);
}
// Example 4
var panel = page.FindElement("//app-component-viewer[contains(., 'overview')]")
// Fina all objects in the page, where CustomObjectType = MatChipRow
var items = panel.FindAll("CustomObjectType", "MatChipRow", 100);
// Iterate through all found objects, highlight them and then click the X button to close them
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
Sys.HighlightObject(items[i]);
items[i].Button(0).Click();
}
}I also have this snippet of code,
function pagesize()
{
var page = Sys.Browser("chrome").Page("*");
page.contentDocument.Script.eval("document.body.style.transform='scale(0.8, 0.8)'");
aqUtils.Delay(2000);
}which performs JavaScript injections - which performs the same as if using Chrome DevTools. However, this functionality was last working in TC v15.55 and has been broken since.
Hi, thank you for the suggestions! Yeah, I will most probably have to use one of these workarounds. To be quite honest, I don't quite like them, because they add unnecessary complexity and hardcoded xpaths ;) I would still prefer to use aliasElement as the reference and fnid its parent or certain ancestor.
Do you know what's funny? As I mentioned before, FindElementByXPath failed to find the ancestor. You explained that TC uses an outdated JS, which may be the cause of this issue. However, I found out, that EvaluateXPath does exactly what's expected to do! It finds the expected ancestor element, which FindElementByXPath fails to find. The problem is, that it returns an object, which is again not compatible with FindElement and other find-related functions :D
As you can see here, the EvaluateXpath found proper element. But FindAll fails with "FindAll is not a function" error.
