How to add more conditions in an assertEquals statement

mg26

Dear All,
I need to check whether a value is displayed in a table ,using an assert statement .I wrote an assert statement like

_assertEqual("Expected Value", _getText(_cell(0,_near(_span("Reference Value"),
_under("my col name")),_table("my Table Name"))));

This assert does not throw any error , now why i am using the _table("my Table Name") statement is because the web page may contain multiple tables with similar values.

Now the problem with the above assert is that once "Expected Value", _getText(_cell(0,_near(_span("Reference Value"),
_under("my col name")) is true , sahi is not checking whether the expected text is in that table also.When i gave another name for the table name, sahi returned true.

ie

_assertEqual("Expected Value", _getText(_cell(0,_near(_span("Reference Value"),
_under("my col name")),_table("new my Table Name"))));

also gave result as true

how to proceed in these kind of situation ??

thank you

Hi you could use

_assertTrue(_getText(_cell(0,_near(_span("Reference Value"),
_under("my col name"))=="Expected Value" && _exists(_cell("Expected Value"), _in(_table("My table")));

this evals first if the cell exists in relation to span and col, then if the cell exists in the table.
Does this solve you issue?

Dear globalworming,

That statement did not work , but that idea works

_assertTrue(_getText(_cell(1,_near(_span("reference value")) ,
_under("my column name")))=="value to assert" && _assertContainsText("value to assert",
_table("my table name")));

this seems to work..I hope sahi will provide a simple function to do this.

i have another observation
in the statement


_getText(_cell(0,_near(_span("reference value")) ,_under("Column name")))


what is the point in using the statement _under("column name") , whether i use it or not, the result depend on the value 0 or any other number i give in _getText(_cell(0,_near..

my question is if i specifically need the value under a column how the _getText statement should be modified


thank you globalworming, thanks for the support.

I didn't checked if the syntax is valid, good you got the intention
(some people here get stuck when you don't post them 100% valide code...)

if you need to verify, that the cell is in a specific column, you could have a look at http://sahi.co.in/w/_cell
with _assertExists(_cell(_table(“my table”), “my row”, “my column”)) you may get better results.

Dear Wormi,
Thanks for the reply..._cell() method is good ..but i cant use it since for a dynamic table finding in which row my data is populated ...... is difficult ..

thanks again
