How to evaluate a boolean Conditon in IF ... ELSE loop

oot

Hi..
I am trying to automate execution of testcase scenario where in I just want to evaluate a condition in a If ....Else loop such that I can print a success message on successful completion of that scenario or else print failure . Below is a sample code .

1)_click(_imageSubmitButton("Save"));
2)_click(_byId("validationMessageBillingEvent"));
3)_assertNotNull(_byId("validationMessageBillingEvent"));
4)_assertContainsText("Billing Event is successfully created.", _byId("validationMessageBillingEvent"));
5) If(evaluate condition){
6) _debugToFile("Billing Event is successfully created ", "D:\\abc.csv");
7) }
8) else {
9) _debugToFile("Billing Event is unsuccessfull ", "D:\\abcd.csv");
10) }

I want to use a If condition at the line (5) such that it will evaluate condition and return a boolean value so that i can write success/failure message accordingly using If Else condition.How can i do it ?
Please help me out .

Hi oot,

Try this........

_assertNotNull(_byId("validationMessageBillingEvent"));
var $ret;
_set($ret,_assertContainsText("Billing Event is successfully created.", _byId("validationMessageBillingEvent")));
If($ret)
{
_debugToFile("Billing Event is successfully created ", "D:\\abc.csv");
}

else {
_debugToFile("Billing Event is unsuccessfull ", "D:\\abcd.csv");
}


_assertContainsText-Returns true(boolean value) if that assert is passed

You could use

if (_condition(_containsText(_byId("validationMessageBillingEvent"), "Billing Event is successfully created."))){
  _debugToFile("Billing Event is successfully created ", "D:\\abc.csv");
}else{
  _debugToFile("Billing Event is unsuccessfull ", "D:\\abcd.csv");
}

or

$status=false;
_set($status, _containsText(_byId("validationMessageBillingEvent"), "Billing Event is successfully created."));
if ($status){
  _debugToFile("Billing Event is successfully created ", "D:\\abc.csv");
}else{
  _debugToFile("Billing Event is unsuccessfull ", "D:\\abcd.csv");
}

The last one is similar to what Priya suggests, except that _containsText is more correct than _assertContainsText.
