    Hi,

     

    I would say this is expected behavior: <i> tag does not represent a web element but just indicates that enclosed text must be in italics. Icon is also not a part of page DOM because it is rendered as a result of applied CSS class.

     

    If you need to click this 'icon' from your test, you may take the parent element (div) and click 5 pixels to the left from its right margin - this is where the 'icon' must be located.

    Pseudocode:

    var obj = page.Find('div', ...);

    obj.Click(obj.Left + obj.Width - 5, obj.Top + obj.Height / 2);

Hello AlexKaras ,

 

I had tried to do click the + icon using coordinates. Below is how i done.

ParentObj.Panel is the object in the hierarchy, which has no children. Panel is pointing to whole object which includes 'Territory Name' and '+'. So I took approx coordinates of + in the Panel and done the action on 'Panel' object.

parentObj.Panel.Click(128,12);

If we do this way, the script will fail next time when executed in different resolution machine as the AUT has responsive UI.

 

Thank you,

Anumolu.

    That is why you should use not absolute hardcoded coordinates but calculate them during runtime as I suggested previously.

    (The final code may differ from the one that I suggested but I hope that you got overall idea and approach.)
