    Hi Sonya,

    We are not passing any aliased or namemapped object from keyword test as did not find solution for that.

    But will try to minimize usage of xpath as per advice given.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your reply. We are looking to get the ContentText of the objects (Not mentioned in the function code snippet). At the moment, we are passing Xpath of the objects and internally getting the content text of these objects after which converting to a string format with delimiter ";" as per the functionality check required for our application.

 

Any other workarounds possible excluding name mapping as you've mentioned the pitfalls that could arise?

The client wants us to only use name mapping for all check but we think xpath is an easier alternative :-)

I think your client and AlexKaras are correct.  NameMapping and Aliases are much easier to use.

 

Once you have the context text, why are you converting it to a string?   mycontexttext + ";" will get you the string you want.
