    Hi,

    GWT automation can be tricky and it all comes down to using stable recognition logic. GWT creates some random ids and classes and if you recognize the items with these ids and classes, the test will fail when you run it next time as these ids will be changed. You can use the context to recognise the elements. This will ensure the stability of your test case. Essentially Sahi is not affected by the technology behind your application, be it GWT or EXT JS or something else. It is your testcases that should be robust. If you can share your APP and some test script, I may be able to indicate more clearly.

    Thanks,

    Hi raosgm,

    Try using _in(element) or _near(element) ...etc for dynamic elements.
    Please refer this browser accessor apis (http://sahi.co.in/w/browser-accessor-apis).
    Good Luck!!

    HI hungrYpYth0n

    please find the below mentioned script i used for automating a GWT application

    click(_div("12 Dec 2012"));
    _click(_cell("5"));
    _click(_cell("GGH-4N5BOC GGH-4N5BAD GGH-4N5BHD GGH-4N5BKD"));// cell id which changes it fails during playback
    _click(_cell("GGH-4N5BOC GGH-4N5BAD GGH-4N5BHD GGH-4N5BKD GGH-4N5BID"));
    _setValue(_textarea(0), "For Test");
    _setSelected(_select(0), "ATI1120072206-1");
    _setSelected(_select(1), "Food");
    _click(_div("0.00"));// i have alternate ID for this div but it works once when i try to run the script it fails.
    _click(_div(105));
    _setValue(_textbox(1), "50");
    _click(_div("0.00"));
    _click(_div(106));
    _setValue(_textbox(1), "10");

    help would be appreciated

    Thanks in advance
