Return value for assertions

Hi Narayan.

I have another question about assertions.
Is there anyway, in the assertion, when it is a success or it fails, to make Sahi give me a response about this?
I don't know if you can understand, but its something like this:
var $test;

if(assertion is a success){
         $test = "success";
         doSomething();
}else{
         $test = "fail";
         doSomethingElse();
}

Thanks.

    Hi JaoBr,

    What you are looking for is not an assertion, but just the outcome of a condition.

    Eg:

    if($a == 10)

    or

    if (_condition(_containsText(_div("error_msg"), "Invalid login")))

    Don't use an assertion in these places.

    An assertion checks for a condition, and throws an exception if the condition is false. This causes the script to log an error message. You should not use assert statements for conditional flow.

    Oh, well, doing by this way, I was trying to do the following:
        if(_condition(_containsText(_textbox("id"), ""))){
        _log("success");
    }else{
        _log("error");
    }
    if(_condition(_containsText(_textbox("id"), "no text"))){
        _log("success");
    }else{
        _log("error");
    }

    But both 'if' log "error".
    Without '_condition', they log "success".

    Also tried:

    if(_condition(_textbox("\$V_Id").value == ""))

    But always throws an exception.

    if(_condition(_textbox("\$V_Id").value == ""))

    is the correct way to do it. (_containsText is for innerText matches)

    Could you share the exception?

    Here:

    _sahi.saveCondition("__lastConditionValue__0", _textbox("\$V_Id").value == "")
    TypeError: '_sahi._textbox(...).value' is null or not an object
    No trace available

    The system runs in an popup window, I don't know if I need to use "_popup("mysystem")", I tried, but no results.
  • narayannarayan Administrators
    JaoBr,

    _condition does not work on popups.

    You will need to do
    var $condn = false;
_popup("mysystem")._set($condn, _textbox("\$V_Id").value == "");
if($condn){
  _log("success");
}else{
  _log("error");
}

    Yeah, that was the problem.

    Thanks :)
