document-wide ordered lists in ascii doctor - asciidoctor

I would like to define a new style of ordered lists in asciidoctor that is composed of a fixed uppercase letter and a counter that increments. It has to be document wide. For example
A1. first item
A2. second item
some text
A3. third item
the flow of the text continues
The solution I came up with is as follows, which is heavy and not 100% satisfactory.
[horizontal]
A{counter:ol1}.:: first item
A{counter:ol1}.:: second item
some text
[horizontal]
A{counter:ol1}.:: third item
the flow of the text continues
Is there a simpler solution ? Is there a possibility at least to define a macro that would expand to A{counter:ol1}.::?

You have a couple of choices:
Create a macro in your editor that inserts the required markup (assuming that your goal is to reduce the amount of typing to achieve this effect).
Adjust the markup to specify a custom role and drop the counter:
= My document
:docinfo: shared
[horizontal, role=numbered]
A:: first item
A:: second item
some text
[horizontal, role=numbered]
A:: third item
the flow of the text continues
Then add some custom CSS, via a docinfo file (see: https://asciidoctor.org/docs/user-manual/#docinfo-file), that does the counting for you. This won't work in PDF output.
body {
counter-reset: myli;
}
.hdlist.numbered .hdlist1::after {
content: counter(myli) ". ";
counter-increment: myli;
}

Using custom table to feed drop-down list datasource

Let's assume that I have Custom Table named Possible URL target parameters with code name xyz.PossibleTargets with 2 columns:
Explanation and Value.
How to feed drop-down field on page type with data to have Value (from table) as Value and Explanation as name in drop-down?
What I already tried and it is not working:
Generate value;name pairs divided by newline and place it as List of options:
z = ""; foreach (x in CMSContext.Current.GlobalObjects.CustomTables["xyz.PossibleTargets"].Items) {z += x.GetValue("Value"); z +=";"; z += x.GetValue("Explanation"); z += "\n" }; return z;
Validator do no allow me to do such trick.
Set option Macro expression and provide enumerable object:
CMSContext.Current.GlobalObjects.CustomTables["xyz.PossibleTargets"].Items
In Item transformation: {%Explanation%} and in Value column {%TargetValue%}.
This do not work also.
Dropdown configuration
How to do this correctly? Documentation and hints on the fields are not helpful.
Kentico v11.0.26
I think that you should do it without marking field as a macro. Just type there the macro. Take a look on screen
No need to use a macro, use straight SQL, using a macro only complicates what appears to be a simple dropdown list.
SELECT '', '-- select one --' AS Explanation
UNION
SELECT TargetValue, Explanation
FROM xyz_PossibleTargets -- make sure to use the correct table name
ORDER BY ExplanationText
This should populate exactly what you're looking for without the complication of a macro.

How to verify ANY text is present with selenium IDE

I know how to verify if a specific text is present in a web page using Selenium IDE. But what I wanted to know is, can you verify that any text is present in an element?
For example there's a text box with the title "Top Champion". This text box will be changed daily with the name of a person. Now I just wanted to check whether there is a text in this text box, no matter what the text actually is. I've tried the verify text command and tried blanking the value, but it doesn't work. If the command can return a true or false command that would be really helpful
BTW, verify value doesn't work either since the element that I'm testing is not a form field
Your best bet is as follows (I have written single tests for this for numbers)
Medium rigour:
waitForText | css=.SELECTORS | regex:.+?
This will wait until there is at least 1 character present.
Strong rigour (only works if you have a subset of characters present):
waitForText | css=.SELECTORS | regex:^[0-9]+$
This will wait until there is text. This text must start with a number, have at least 1 number, and then finish. It does not permit any character outside of the subset given. An example you could do to match numbersNAMEnumbers would be.
waitForText | css=.SELECTORS | regex:^[0-9]+[a-zA-Z]+[0-9]+$
This would wait for a string such as 253432234BobbySmith332

If i have understood your question properly there below is one way you can search for an element contains a string. Not sure if this is what you are looking.
List<WebElement> findElement = webElement.findElements(By.xpath("YOUR_TEXTINPUT_PATH_HERE"));
if( findElement.size() > 0 ){
if( findElement.get(0).getText() != null && findElement.get(0).getText().indexOf("THE_STRING_THAT_YOU_WANT_TO SEARCH") != -1 ) {
// IF IT COMES HERE, THAT MEANS THE ELEMENT IS PRESENT WITH THE TEXT
}
}
store text|[your element]|StoredText
execute script|return ${StoredText}.length > 0|x
assert|x|true
Using these three lines in the Selenium IDE, the first line will extract the text from the element into the variable StoredText.
The second line will store whether the length of that text is greater than zero into the variable x (a true or false result).
The third line asserts that the result was true, failing the test if not. You don't need the third line if all you want is the true or false result.
So if the element contains any text, the extracted text length will be greater than zero, the variable x will be true, and the assert will pass. This verifies that any text is present in the element.

Is there any way when I choose an option not to clear previously typed data in the input

The problem is this:
In my programme at first the user gets options for a first name - so hopefully he likes something from the options and he chooses it -so far everything is OK!
But then when he types space he starts receiving options for second name and a if he likes something and chooses it - then the Autocomplete just erases the first name. Is there any way I can change that?
hello Rich thank you very much or your response - now i've decided to change my task and here is what I made when a user types for example I character i get all the first names that start with I- so far no problem! ANd when he types the white space and K for example I make request to my web service that gets the middle names that starts with K or the last names that start with K (one of them should start with K for Iwelina), so in this case for Iwelina Ive got RADULSKA KOSEWA and KOSEWA NEDEWA! For the source of autocomplete I concatenate iwelina with (radulska kosewa)and iwelina with (KOSEWA NEDEWA) so at the end I've got IWELINA IELINA RADULSKA KOSEWA and IWELINA KOSEWA NEDEWA!!! the only problem is that when i type Iwelina K i get only IWELINA KOSEWA NEDEWA!!!here is the code for autocomlete
$('#input').autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
var matcher = new RegExp( $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term, " "));
var data = $.grep( srcAutoComp, function(value) {
return matcher.test( value.label || value.value || value );
});
response(data);
}
});
if you know how i can change it I will be glad for the help
I don't understand how, when the user begines to type the second name, he's getting results that are only the last name. For example, if he types "Joh" and selects "John" from the options, and then continues to type "John Do", then how is it possible that your drop down gives him results for only the last name, like "Doe"?
At any rate, assuming this is truly happening, you could just combine all combinations of first and last names in your source data and that will show "John Doe" in the drop down when the user types "Joh" selects "John" and then continues to type "John Do".
Another way to do this is with a complicated change to the search and response events to search after a space if it is there, and recombine it with the first string after the search for the last name is complete. If you give me your source data, I could put something together for this.

locating visible elements

Is there any way to locate just visible elements with Watir?
I want to locate only visible forms (by the index param) so that Watir would return first or second visible text field.
How is it possible to filter invisible fields / elements?
Is it possible to do that with xpath?
This will return the first visible text field:
browser.text_fields.select {|text_field| text_field.visible?}[0]
You can set text in text field like this:
browser.text_fields.select {|text_field| text_field.visible?}[0].set "text"
This will return the second visible text field:
browser.text_fields.select {|text_field| text_field.visible?}[1]
Please note that element can be visible, but disabled.

JqGrid - losing ability to sort and perform multipleSearch when column header text is changed programmatically on gridComplete

This is my jqgrid - $("#list1")
When it loads, i.e. on the gridComplete event, I need to rename the column header texts.
Original column header texts are in this format - Colomn1, Column2 ...
On gridComplete, I change these header texts like this:
$("#list1_Column" + someNumber).text(someText);
However on doing this, I lose the ability to sort columns. Column headers are no longer clickable and hence I cannot sort the grid after this custom programmatic editing.
Similar thing happens when I try changing the texts in the search dropdown list (search modal - using multipleSearch: true)
When, on gridComplete, I change text values in the select list as per the grid column headers, like this -
var select = $('#grid_wrapper #fbox_list1 .ui-widget-content .sf .fields select');
$('#grid_wrapper #fbox_list1 .ui-widget-content .sf .fields select option').remove();
$.each(data, function (i, item) {
select.append('<option value="Column' + item.id + '">' + item.ColumnName + '</option>')
});
...I lose the ability to perform multiple search, i.e. the + and - buttons in the search modal disappear.
How do I get around these two issues? Retaining ability to sort and perform multiple search after having changed column header and search list text values on load.
Please guide.
The column header <th> element has two child elements: one <span> with the text of the column header and another with the sort icons which are hidden the most time. So if you want to change the text manually you should use another selector
$("#list1_Column" + someNumber+ " > span").text(someText);
If you do so you will change the text on the page, but not change the text in the colNames or in the colModel (if you use label property instead of colNames). The text will be used for example to create Multisearch dialog. You can make changes in the colModel with respect of setColProp method or use getGridParam to get reference to any internal parameter of jqGrid (which are objects like inclusive colNames and colModel) and then make any changes which you need.
The best way in my opinion to solve the described problems is to use setLabel method to change the text in the column header:
$("#list1").jqGrid('setLabel','ColumnName','My new Name');
this will solve both problems.
