How to check for objects that did not exist at test start

I have a test that creates new items on our website. This consists of multiple parts that each create pieces of what will come together at the end as a fully functional program.   One of the steps ...

Once the item is created, it needs to be added to a schedule. We do this by going to the schedule and clicking the Add button. A Dialog opens and in it is a table with 2 columns; one with checkboxes and one with the item names.

 

The list includes all items that are available but not added to the schedule (either because they are new or exist on a different schedule)

 

I need to find the checkbox in the first column that is next to the Cell with the newly created item's name.

Yup, definitely use a Find on the table itself.  Once you find the cell with the created items name, you then go to the Cell with that same row and one column over and access the child object of the cell.  We do something similar in our stuff.

 

function findRow(tableObject, stringSearch, searchColumn) {
    var cellFound = Utils.CreateStubObject();
    if ((searchColumn == 999) || (searchColumn == undefined)) {
        cellFound = tableObject.FindChild('innerText', aqConvert.VarToStr(stringSearch) + '*', 0, true);
    }
    else {
        for (var i = 1; i < tableObject.RowCount; i ++) {
            if (aqString.Trim(tableObject.Cell(i, searchColumn).innerText) == aqString.Trim(aqConvert.VarToStr(stringSearch)) ) {
                cellFound = tableObject.Cell(i, searchColumn);
                break;
            } 
        
        } 
    }
    if (cellFound.Exists) {
        return cellFound.RowIndex;
    }
    else {
        throw Error ('Unable to find the cell with string ' + stringSearch);
    }
}
