Missing checkbox

Hi all,   I'm testing a webpage in Chrome. I recorded the flow, but when I played back, TestComplete could not find the checkbox. I tried to select the object with drag the target and point and fix...

    Hi,

     

    Thank you for the screenshot. What is reported to test log if you execute this test?

    From what I see, I can make these notes:

    1. The operation (Call Object Method) where you are searching for the web element using .FindChildByXPath() method returns the object been found. In order to use this object later, you must create keyword test variable and assign this variable a value returned by .FindChildByXPath(). Use the Set Variable Value operation with the Last Operation Result option value for the Mode parameter.

    2. Sample code snippet that I provided previously assumed that the tested web page is referenced via the page variable, but in your keyword test the tested web page is referenced as pageIts20. So the code must be adjusted correspondingly.

    3. Use either approach with .FindChildByXPath() or the code that was provided as the alternative. Alternative code may be used as is (with corrected reference to page). If you decide to use .FindChildByXPath(), then you should assign the result of the search to variable (as mentioned in point 1) and then use this variable to call method .click() (note small first 'c') of the found object.

Hi,

 

> Where can I use the pseudo that you wrote?

The suggested code should be inserted where the recorded click is done. (Post recorded script or screenshot of the keyword test if you like me to point you exact place.)

 

> Can you write step by step how can I set the missing parts?

Assuming screenshots that you already posted (and JScript language), I would start with this:

-- Code snippet:

var cbox = page.FindChildByXPath('//SPAN[contains(@id, '-checkboxEl')];

if (cbox != null)

  cbox.click();

else

  Log.Error('check-box for Megtekintes label was not found');

 

-- Paste this code snippet instead the line where the click on check-box was recorded and try to execute.

 

 

P.S. Alternative code snippet:

var cboxLabel = page.FindChild(['ObjectIdentifier', 'contentText'], ['appcheckcolumn_textInnerEl', 'Megtekin*'], 100);

if (cboxLabel.Exists)

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

else

  Log.Error('Megtekintes label for check-box was not found');
