Re: Three Strangers
...and until the day the Great Wise Bear cometh, there shall be much strife and needless suffering caused by the Golem of Mapping. Hence, unto the wisest, I embolden you to admonish the seduction of Mapping but for a few Aliases, and steadfastly secure your place in the Code Writing Kingdom, where you shall learn to ascertain objects of all forms dynamically by finding children into the specific depths of the DOM, with the wisdom of the Great OB [Object Browser], and to even locate the elusive native web objects [NWO] in dire situations; Thus, taking firm control of your automation destiny my friend. [translation: Imo, I'd suggest to limit most forms of mapping at all, and do it all in code (except for a single top-level "browser" alias for multi-browser-compatibility, and maybe some key levels as the very eminent AlexKaras indicated in his post; but personally, I don't even bother with those because 1 line of code finds them easily). Write some wrapper functions to eliminate redundancy, which would include logging, object finding (.FindChild, etc.), scrollIntoView (for browsers), clicks (as a parameter), performance counters, checkpoints, etc... It all works without mapping, and it's lots of fun when you're in control of it.] Cheers!1.9KViews1like0Comments
