Problem with customer function

escape

Hi

I'm testing a web application, to aviode repetition I'm trying to use functions:

function checkMessage($htmlobject, $text)
{
_assertNotNull($htmlobject);
_assertEqual($text, _getText($htmlobject));
_assertContainsText($text,$htmlobject);
}

this functions looks good to me, but with the following call "checkMessage("<objectname>", "<text>"); " I'm getting this error:

_assertEqual("sometext", _getText("_cell(_table(8), 0, 0)")); Assertion Failed. Expected:[sometext] Actual:[undefined]
_assertContainsText("sometext","_cell(_table(8), 0, 0)"); TypeError: 'undefined' is Null

I think in case of _getText, there are problems with " " . it should be _getText(_cell(_table(8), 0, 0)) . Is there a workaround or a better solution?

thanks for help

best regards

$htmlobject seems to be a string in your case.
Could you show how $htmlobject is declared and how checkMessage is being called?

Hi

yes you're right - it is string, because I try to identify the object by name, I'm told to use name instead of id or DOM-Position *o*

call for checkMessage:

checkMassege("_cell(_table(8), 0, 0)","verify_this_text")

So the function _assertNotNull needs an object, is there a function to built this _assertNotNull( < _getobjectbyname("objectname")> )

You could use something like this:

_assertNotNull(eval($htmlobject));
_assertEqual($text, _getText(eval($htmlobject)));
_assertContainsText($text,eval($htmlobject));

This will work, but I am not sure you are doing the right thing here.

try this:

function checkMessage($htmlobject, $text){
  _assertNotNull($htmlobject);
  _assertEqual($text, _getText($htmlobject));
  _assertContainsText($text,$htmlobject);
}

_call(checkMessage(_cell(_table(8), 0, 0), "verify_this_text"));
