Hi Vince,
Once the destination of a link is set during the on-page routine execution, there's no way to read it, except for running this or a similar on-page routine. TestComplete can call routines from web pages, but it does not have access to the internals of these routines.
You may insert a helper function into the web page's HTML that would calculate the target location of the download link in the same way as the
download_clicked function does, and return the destination as a result.
function getlocation(){
...
if (platform == 'mac') { return 'https://192.168.0.1/download/mac.pkg'; }
if (platform == 'linux') { return 'http://192.168.0.1/products/latest.bin'; }
if (platform == 'windows') { return 'https://192.168.0.1/download/win.exe'; }
Then, during the test, you can call this web page function from TestComplete (as described in the
Calling Scripts Located on a Web Page From TestComplete Scripts topic) and store its result:
...
LinkTarget = page.Application.Document.Script.getlocation();
...
A workaround is to analyze the content of the parent page. In the HTML code you provided, the link text says "
Download for Windows", hence, the page has some sort of an on-load event that checks the current platform and modifies the link caption. Thus, you can analyze this caption and calculate the link destination on TestComplete's side:
...
LinkCaption = page.Panel("download_but").Panel(0).Link(0).innerText;
switch (LinkCaption)
{
case "Download for Windows":
{
LinkTarget = "https://192.168.0.1/download/win.exe";
break;
}
case "Download for Macintosh":
{
LinkTarget = "https://192.168.0.1/download/mac.pkg";
break;
}
case "Download for Linux":
{
LinkTarget = "http://192.168.0.1/products/latest.bin";
break;
}
}
...
Regards.
