_getText issue

rj412

Basically I'm creating and assigning a new variable by grabbing the links ID with _getText

/*

---

*/
_popup($popupWindow)._assertExists(_link("1"));
//var $DocHeadline = _popup($popupWindow)._getText(_link("1"));
//var $DocHeadline = _getText(_link("1"));
var $DocHeadline = "This is the 'link and headline' name compare test" ;
_popup($popupWindow)._click(_link("1"));

_popup($popupWindow)._assertExists(_heading3(0));
_popup($popupWindow)._assertEqual($DocHeadline, _getText(_heading3(0)));

/*

---

*/

(Think news.google.com ; before clicking on the link, get its ID, then click it and make sure that it opened the correct page by checking its heading)

Eventually what I really want to achieve is to a compare of:
_getText(_link("1")) is equal to _getText(_heading3(0))
both are captured with _getText BUT at different times (since _heading3(0) is only available after _link("1") has been clicked to load the doc on that page).

And if I manually hard-code $DocHeadline (line 4 of code above) - the test works.
So it has to be the _getText(_link) syntax or bug. Please help.

Hi Rj412

Use:

var $DocHeadline;
_popup($popupWindow)._set($DocHeadline, _getText(_link("1"));

We are verifying why your construct did not work.

I believe the problem is with _getText and _popup combination.

//The following works if I run _getText on the parent page
_debug(_getText(_link("1")));

//But when run with a child page, it no longer works
var popupWindow = "/Page 1/";
//_debug(_popup($popupWindow)._getText(_link("1")));

//Also tried the _set as per your instructions...
var $DocHeadline;
_debug(_popup($popupWindow)._set($DocHeadline, _getText(_link("1"))));

None of this seem to work.
Please help.
Thanks.

Hi,

_popup() is a prefix to tell Sahi that whatever follows needs to be executed on a popup.

_debug(_popup($popupWindow)._getText(_link("1")));
should be
_popup($popupWindow)._debug(_getText(_link("1")));


Why do we have both _debug and _set in the same line? _set does not return any value. It just sets $DocHeadline with _getText(_link("1"))

The following code should work:

var $DocHeadline;
_popup($popupWindow)._set($DocHeadline, _getText(_link("1")));
_debug($DocHeadline);

I think both of my issue with _getText and _exists are related and both times failed when used with _popup
Let me explain why:
With hard-coded popup Window Title is used- both of these operation work.
But once popup window is reference with /.* -xxxxx- .*/ - the same operations no longer work: getting [Exception][object Object]


//when _exists works with _popup
_popup("Test Page - This is only a Test - user1 (Sample/User/Text)")._exists(_div("This user has already been taken"));
//when it does not work with a reference popup
var $popupWindow = "/.*This is only a Test.*/" ;
_popup($popupWindow)._exists(_div("This user has already been taken"));
//when it does not work with a reference popup
var $popupWindow = "/.*This is only a Test.*/" ;
var $condn = false;
_popup($popupWindow)._set($condn, _exists(_div("This user has already been taken")));
_debug($condn) ;

//when _getText works with _popup
_popup("Test Page - This is only a Test - user1 (Sample/User/Text)")._getText(_div("This user has already been taken"));
//when it does not work with a reference popup
_popup($popupWindow)._getText(_div("This user has already been taken"));
//when it does not work with a reference popup
var $popupWindow = "/.*This is only a Test.*/" ;
var $ReadText ;
_popup($popupWindow)._set($ReadText, _getText(_div("This user has already been taken")));
_debug($ReadText) ;
