Is there a checkpoint you can use for "Element Exists"?

Question

Hi,So I am trying to write a test script which will check to see if elements exist on the page or not. All elements will be using the DOM model and the elements I will be looking for will have an ID string.Is there a way to have a checkpoint which just checks to see if the element exists on the page or not?

Hi,In the DOM model, obtain page elements with the WaitItem method and when check the Exists property value of the object it returns. See the Waiting for a Process or Window Activation help topic.

Thanks Jared!Is there any way to do this through the GUI interface?I don't have anything against scripting myself, however, I work with a team of QA testers that have no knowledge of scripting and would love to be able to show them ways of recording scripts without my help.

Hi Jason,Maybe in this case you can consider recording not scripts but Keyword tests that has an option to insert checkpoints during recording via wizard?

Hey Alex,Yes, I actually figured out it is easy to do this when using If and Else statements in the Keyword Test interface.If (Element Exists) LOG MESSAGEElse LOG MESSAGE
