aqObject.CheckProperty- (checkpoint on Content text) Control does not go to else condition

[Gaya]

Hi,

Is there anything wrong with below code? Control is not going to Else conditon even if the If condition is not true. It just evalutes If condition and throws an error.  

Note: Object properties for both are same only the "content text" differs.

if((aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4, "contentText", cmpEqual, "Order accepted"))==true){
Log.Message("Order Accepted")
}
else{
if(aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4, "contentText", cmpEqual, "A pending order already exists.")==true){
//Code goes here
}
}

Two things to look at: The text has to match exact any differences e.g. a "." at the end of the text will return false.  Also, CaseSensitive is an optional parameter  By default the value is true if not specified.  If you add a CaseSensitive of false you may find the value to equate to true:

aqObject.CheckProperty(Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4, "contentText", cmpEqual, "Order accepted",false)

aqObject.CheckProperty Method

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. The text is exactly same how it is showing in object properties. I tried the Case Sensitive option as well still did not work.

If condition evaluates to false then the Control should go to else right? but it is not going.

I'd Expect so, yes.  

A cleaner way of comparing though would probably be

var doesCompare = aqstring.Compare(Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4.contentText,"Order Placed",false);

if(deosCompare==0)
{
...
}
else
{
...
}

since contentText is a property of a TC object.

When you are doing the check, are you sure the contentText has changed e.g. what does Log(Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4.contentText) tell you at each step of the process ?

If it' not what you see on the screen, you may be able to Refresh mapping info

[RUDOLF_BOTHMA]

Also, does the TC object exist when you evaluate.  In other words, what do you get if you stick

Log.Message(Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4.Exists);

just in front of your if statement ?

If it returns false, TC couldn't find it.  It may not be ready on the page or the mapping may have changed because your table structure changed

I was just going to suggest that the problem may not be necessarily in the code but in the assumption that the object exists.  You mentioned that there's an error.  What's the error you're getting?

[Gaya]

I tried the Exists option, it did not work as well.

[Gaya]

The error is "The property checkpoint failed, because Exists does not equal (case-insensitive) "Order accepted". See Additional Information for details. 15:37:46 Normal 10.48". See Additional Information for details. 9:49:37 Normal 10.58

which is the condition I gave inside If

[RUDOLF_BOTHMA]

@tristaanogre Will probably be able to confirm - I don't use them - but I believe if a checkpoint fails, the test errors and stops.  You won't see any code after the check executing.

[tristaanogre]

AH!!  I think I see it... you're using the CheckProperty method.  If that returns false, it will log as an error... and if you have "Stop on Error" as true in your project, as soon as that error gets logged, your project stops.

So, you can do one of two things....

You can just compare the property to the expected value in a strict if case...  something like

if (Aliases.browser2.pageFos2.formPlaceorder.tableOrderlist.cellColumn4.contentText == 'Order accepted')

Alternatively, replace CheckProperty with CompareProperty and change the message type to be either a warning or a straight message
