How to return object's mapped name (vbscript)
I mapped an element on a webpage, lets say it's Aliases.browser.page.button.
In my script I have a function which checks if this element is present on page.
Something like:
Function IsPresent (element)
....
'in case it does not exist log it's name
log.error element.MappedName
End Function
which I call like this:
IsPresent(Aliases.browser.page.button)
In case the element is not present I want to write to logs its Mapped Name (in our case it's Aliases.browser.page.button)
I know that there is method element.MappedName, but it returns a value only when element exists, if not, it returns something like "non-existent object".
Is there a way to return mapped name even if element doesn't exist? Still I send it as a parameter in IsPresent()...

- Hi Olga,
A possible solution is to change IsPresent to accept the object name as a string. You can convert a string to an object using Eval.
IsPresent("Aliases.browser.page.button")
Function IsPresent(AliasStr)
Dim element
Set element = Eval(AliasStr)
...
' In case it does not exist log its name
Log.Error AliasStr
End Function
