I am spying one button from one browser based application. But I am getting the error saying more than one item found.
I am able to spy it only under the Accessibility Mode.
Although,I can see in my page that there is only one element in my page.
How to refer my element uniquely under Accessibility Mode as there is no exact path to specify.
If you are not able to see the elements, but Blue Prism is saying that there is more than one element found, then you may have unchecked these two attributes:
Visible
Screen Visible
Try setting them as "True", and please check if that will help with your problem.
Different approach would be to use one of these two:
Match Index
Ordinal
In a nutshell, they tell Application modeller about which item should be used, if there are multiple similar object visible.
I think it happens when you are having two fields having same properties like in a login page, username & password have same properties when you spy these elements using Blue Prism it shows the error.So, to get rid of that error, check the box ordinal in the application modeller popup(which opens after clicking ctrl+left click) after you've spied the element.I hope you got it.
Whenever we spy elements it is recommended to uncheck few attributes like parent url, input identifier, title etc.
"if there is an error stating that more than one matching window found" then at this point we have to uncheck "windows text" and check the ordinal attribute.
Please try below in Application module
Uncheck the checkbox with empty values
Uncheck the ParentURL.
You just need to check the Match Index and Ordinal property of the spied element. Ordinal will always gives you the unique element on the screen.
This is even mentioned in Blue Prism's Training module.
For Browser/Web-based application, Ordinal Attribute cant not be found.
To Spy the exact element, you can also use "Application Navigator" or UI Automation Navigator.

I am using citrix vdi to read an element on webpage. It is able to highlight and read the value in open vdi but in close vdi layout of webpage messes up and element i need went out of bound/off screen from webpage. I have tried minimize and maximize before reading value but invain. I also tried html mode and AA still cannot read it. In html mode i kept only path attribute for element, value remains exactly same on close and open vdi. The only difference i have notice is width of div in which element resides. Div width changes in open 1921and close 1203 which i assume push element out of screen bounds. Any help will be appreciated.
When working with Blue Prism don’t rely on initial attribute set. You need to choose as few attributes as possible to uniquely identify element. You should always untick attributes that are empty or it’s value it’s “Self” (for example Element ID attribute tends to have such value which doesn’t mean anything). Generally, attributes connected with elements position on the screen or its size are not helpful, because it may be easily affected.
When working with HTML spy mode your elements don’t need to be visible on screen to interact with them (unless you are using surface automation techniques), HTML elements don’t have any Visible or Screen Visible attributes.
Try to use attributes like:
Tag Name
Class Name
ID
If Value has always particular text, use wildcard type of match: text
Path attribute is not always the best choice as it might change because web page is dynamic or application update mess up the layout. If you won’t be able to identify element any other way, make sure you use Path as Dynamic match type & store it as environmental variable, so it could be easily adjusted if needed.
If you have problems reading value using “Get Current Value”, try “Get HTML Attribute” in Read stage options & try “Value” or “Title” as an Input.
Working on Coded UI testing and for scripts developed using Record Capture and playback feature (ctrl +I).
The problem is when the page has sub-menus (e.g. I need to hover over menu link then click sub-menu). When I record and capture element using Ctrl+I and executed a script it recognizes, but when I ran the script for the second time the element gets changed and it's not recognized.
I have tried simple x path utility posted here but coudn't able to use this feature. What would be the problem for always element id's getting changed. How to resolve it ?
Are you sure it isn't a nested object?
See http://executeautomation.com/blog/how-to-identify-all-the-child-elements-within-a-page-in-coded-ui-test-cuit/
You could also try EnsureClickable()
There could few reasons behind not recognizing an element:
List item Element is not visible when you are trying to click on it.
If Type of Parent Element is e.g. winclient then it’s difficult in coded UI to identify its child elements.
There could various solutions, you can try:
First Click on Menu Item and then click on Sub Menu Item, if you are directly clicking on sub menu item in your recorded script, this will make sub menu element visible.
Also you can check the visibility from Coded UI Test Builder-> Add Assertion button then going to UI Control Map, then select the element in tree and click on Refresh. It will show if element is visible or not.
If Ids are changing, then you can various other properties like Name, ClassName, InnerText, ControlType, TagInstance, ControlName etc. whichever is supported by Element.
I am trying to check my check box in Geb.
I have tried following codes, but no luck
$('input', type:'checkbox', id: 'chkTermsConditions', tabindex: '-1').value('true')
$(".CheckBoxUI").value('true')
Following is the HTML
After mouse go over the check box additional text updated (marked in the screen shot)
You are attempting to check the box which has the attribute with value='true'
From the Geb manual:
The value of input, select and textarea elements can be retrieved and set with the value method. Calling value() with no arguments will return the String value of the first element in the Navigator. Calling value(value) will set the current value of all elements in the Navigator. The argument can be of any type and will be coerced to a String if necessary. The exceptions are that when setting a checkbox value the method expects a boolean (or, an existing checkbox value) and when setting a multiple select the method expects an array or Collection of values.
Try this:
$("#chkTermsConditions").value(true)
If you are using non standard HTML generated by some other platform. You may have to resort to clicking the element or using javascript.
The element that produces the desired click result could be one of the surrounding elements. If the widget is javascript controlled you may have to call a function that is embedded into the page for that widget. If its a javascript widget I cannot help you unless you can point me to a page which uses the same platform.
Try:
$('a[class=CheckRadioFocus]').click()
$('a[id=termLink]').click()
or any of the other surrounding elements.
I managed to check the check box with $(".CheckBoxStyle").click()
Only issue is still Submit button doesn't get enable. Following is the html code for before and after checking the check box in real situation.
I tried the to click on the submit button with following code. It doesn't give any error. But still doesn't move to next page as expected.May be because of Submit button disable issue.
$("#submitBtnMsg").click()
Edited :
It was turned out above was application related issue. We have to click on the address after selecting via address validation service. Then only Submit button get enable.
$(".RedColor").click()
I am new to XPages, and I have a Check Box Group ('checkBoxGroup1') as one of my design elements that contains three choices ("CBChoice1", "CBChoice1", "CBChoice1"). Underneath that Check Box Group, I have three edit box fields which correspond to the three checkbox choices. Each time one of the checkbox choices is chosen, I want the corresponding edit box to become visible.
Whenever one of the checkboxes is chosen, I have it partially refreshing the panel that the edit boxes are in, but I cannot figure out the code in each of the edit box's visible property. I started with
getComponent('checkBoxGroup1').getValue() == "CBChoice1"
which kind of works, but isn't the answer. I also tried
var valueArray = getComponent('checkBoxGroup1').getSelectedValues();
valueArray[0] == "CBChoice1";
which seems more on target, but I was getting the following browser error:
Error 500 HTTP Web Server: Command Not Handled Exception
I notice that in the computed code for the visibility property, it is SSJS. I feel like I am close, but have been banging my head for too long. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
A better method might be to bind the checkbox group to either a document data source or a scope variable.
Then, your visible property might look something like:
#Contains(myDoc.getItemValueArray("checkBoxFieldName"),"CBChoice1");
or
#Contains(viewScope.get("checkBoxScopeVar"),"CBChoice1");
I am trying to work with mouseover on a particular Item in my application by using the following command
{
ie.text_field(:xpath, "//a[contains(text(),'Deal')]").fire_event('onmouseover')
}
On doing mouseover on a item, two subitems are displayed.
Is there any way to capture the sub items which are part of the Item by doing mouseover with which we can report that our test is pass or fail.
Please suggest.
Additional Information :
If we take example,On the StackOver flow page, If i do mouseover on my name, i get a window where i see activity, privileges, Logout and other stuff. This is really what i was looking for. Is there a way to capture the items displayed on the window on doing mouseover.
I also tried to capture the subitems with the following :
{
text=ie.text_field(:xpath, "//a[contains(text(),'Deal')]").fire_event('onmouseover')
puts(text.inspect)
}
On doing this "text" value is displayed as 'nil'.
My general tactic for such things is a combination of using IRB and the IE Developer tool, or Firebug.
using IRB, type out (or cut and paste) the watir statement to fire the onmouseover command to the proper element on the page.
Then have the developer tool rescan the DOM (there's a little refresh icon you can click) The use the tool to point to an element to point to one of the items in the stuff exposed by the onmouseover. Using the info from that, you can then figure out how to address those elements to get the text from the proper div, etc.
If I do that here to the info that opens up when I float the mouse over my name I can find out that it is a table of class "profile-recent-summary" Furthermore I can then look at the way the table is made up and see for example that the 'today' reputation value is in the second cell on that row.. The row also has the text 'reputation' in it.. so
browser.table(:class, 'profile-recent-summary').row(:text, /reputation/).cell(:index, 2).flash
Should flash the cell I want (index might be 1 if using firewatir or webdriver) I can then replace the .flash with something else like .text if I want to get the text from that cell (which is actually inside a link that sits in the cell)..
without seeing your code, I would 'inspect' the element that you are trying to verify and when_present (text) assert that its true
