How to click button of an attribute value. Dont understand the syntax

keith

I dont understand the syntax. I think if I see these examples written for Sahi I would probably get it.


1. Click the radio button
_click(_radio(?))
With id contains "LaunchEFRadioList" and is left of the visible _label("KM StandAlone Author Home")
radio button full id name is: id=KANAAPPS_wavemakerNode_PAGE_Admin_Login_20_24__V1_K_27_K_LaunchEFRadioList_Create_btnNode;
text _label("KM StandAlone Author Home") is right of the radio button

2. Click the image button with the attribute title="Launch" below the radio button with label "KM StandAlone Author Home"
title=Launch;

3. I'm switching over from selenium where this xpath worked, what is the Sahi non-xpath syntax?
this xpath would click whatever radio button relative of the found text.
//*[contains(text(),'DefaultEF')]/preceding-sibling::*[1]
Sahi is better and will click the radio left of the found visible text. How do I do this?
Are there any examples for complex locator references?

Thanks

Hi Keith,

Have you looked at
http://sahi.co.in/w/browser-accessor-apis
and

?

The example works if you are referencing the whole id text value. So what if the three textboxes are "qazInputbox123", "wsxInputbox234", "edcInputbox345" How do I reference only the "Inputbox" part of the id string? In otherword I want to avoid refrencing the whole part of the id or not at all. Many of the elements have a type attribute where I could reference type='text'

_textbox("q", _near(_cell("Ruby for Rails")))

Thanks
Keith

Example1
id=K_27_K_LaunchEFRadioList.EFTagId_EF_KM_AuthorHomeSA_label;
className=KANA-CheckBox-Label KANA-RadioButton-UncheckedIcon;
htmlFor=K_27_K_LaunchEFRadioList.EFTagId_EF_KM_AuthorHomeSA;

Example2
id=KANAAPPS_wavemakerNode_PAGE_Admin_Login_20_24__V1_K_27_K_LaunchEFRadioList_Create_btnNode;
className=formLaunchButton_normal wm_Border_BottomNone wm_Border_TopNone wm_Border_LeftNone
title=Launch;

You can use a regular expression of the id, or use an index as specified in
http://sahi.co.in/w/browser-accessor-apis


Eg.
1)
_radio("/LaunchEFRadioList_Create/")
or
_radio(0, _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home")))
or
_radio("/LaunchEFRadioList_Create/", _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home")))


2)
_button("Launch")
or
_button("Launch", _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home")))

Thanks Narayan.

With _button("Launch", _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home"))) what if instead we want to not reference the button with the ID, but use only the attribute of title='Launch'?

_button(title='Launch', _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home")))
How would the syntax look for this?
I'm guessing it would be like this?
_button(_getAttribute("title","Launch"), _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home")))



Thanks

Hi Keith,

Sahi automatically looks for various attributes on the button. I just checked that title is not one of them currently.
We have added documentation on how to fix this: http://sahi.co.in/w/tweaking-sahi-apis

After the changes you will be able to use
_button("Launch", _near(_label("KM StandAlone Author Home")))

Thanks Narayan,
The FAQ will be useful to adapt for custom attributes.
I'm thinking it might be better if I can pass the intended attribute name and expected value into a function so Sahi could identify any attribute label name and value from the calling script. Like _attribute("title","launch"). Would this be difficult to add such a script method?

Thanks

Hi Keith, it should not be too tough. Have a look at the code in concat.js especially the function findTagHelper
