using if

escape

Hi

In the documentation there is a warning : _assertNotNull / _assertNull .....

DO NOT USE THIS IN AN IF CONDITION as it does not return any value, and throws an exception if the object is null.

But If I [Test-->] this API Function I get the value true (assertNotNull(spandiv("somespandiv")), true in grey box below) --> how can I get this value,

I want to give my testscript more flexibility with if , in my case

if ( the element not there )
{do this }
else { do that }

if ( _assertNull (_spandiv("somespandiv"))==true)
.......
doesn't work

How can I do this assertion with Sahi functions ???

regards escape

escape

Hi

I have found a solution, but for later releases it would be nice if the assert Functions return some values ......

Solution:

if ( _containsHTML(_byId("FOOTER"), "ERROR-sth went wrong")==false)
{ do it }

// if there is no error do it .... : D

if (_condition(spandiv("somespandiv") == null)){
  // do this
}else{
  // do that
}
