Wrapping assert calls

Hello,

As my first post here I would like to say that SAHI is a nice product and we are about to use it for automation of several test suites for several products.

The question I have is regarding the creation of a function that calls multiple asserts. It can be seen as a wrapper: instead of writing 4 lines of code, I can write 1 line of code which does the same.

Here is the code that I tried, but which does not work:

function AssertText(element, text)
{
    _assertExists(element);
    _assert(_isVisible(element));
    _assertEqual(text, _getText(element));
    _assertContainsText(text, element);
}

When I call 'AssertText(_div("username"), "username");' the SAHI playback tool shows '_assertExists(element)', instead of '_assertExists(_div("username"))'. Ofcourse it fails, because it does not recognize 'element'.

The problem is probably my lack of Javascript knowledge. I have Googled for solutions and for the possibility of C-style macro definitions in Java, however I have found nothing.

Do you guys have any ideas on this problems?

Regards,
Dave

Hi daveneijsen,

The code should be:

function AssertText($element, $text)
{
    _assertExists($element);
    _assert(_isVisible($element));
    _assertEqual($text, _getText($element));
    _assertContainsText($text, $element);
}

Now call the function using:

AssertText(_div("username"), "username");
