Name of ID (HTML): Button, input etc.

[ZigZig]

Hello everybody,

 

I'm doing some testing with Selenium WebDriver. 

 

Unigui / ExtJS generate html names automatically for id(s): button, input etc.. 

 

eg

 

O38_id 

 

or 

 

id="tab-1048-btnInnerEl" unselectable="on">.

 

I would like to give a name to these ids (eg MyButton1 instead of  O38_id).

 

 Is there any way to do this.

 

Thank you.

Hi ZigZig.

 

One way to solve:

function beforeInit(sender)
{
  sender.id = "MyButton1";
}

 

But be careful with this approach (there is a chance to give the same ID for multiple objects) !

 

Try...

 

Best regards.

Hi,

 

maybe this will help also. This is python code for clicking buttons and filling edit boxes:

 

 

def uni_set_element_text(driver, element_name, element_text ):
    try:
        s = "//table[contains(@class, '" + element_name + "')]//input[contains(@id, 'inputEl')]"
            
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(s).clear()
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(s).send_keys(element_text)
    except NoElementPresentException as e: return False
    return True

def uni_click_label(driver, element_id):
    try:         
        s = "//label[contains(@id, '" + element_id + "')]"
        
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(s).click()
        #driver.find_element_by_id(element_id).click()
        
    except NoElementPresentException as e: return False
    return True

def uni_click_button(driver, element_name):
    try:         
        s = "//a[contains(@class, '" + element_name + "')]//span[contains(@id, 'btnEl')]"
        
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(s).click()
    except NoElementPresentException as e: return False
    return True

def uni_click_pgc_tab(driver, page_control_name, element_caption):
    try:         
        s = "//div[contains(@class, '" + page_control_name + "')]//span[contains(@id, '-btnInnerEl') and .//text()=" + element_caption + "]"
         
        driver.find_element_by_xpath(s).click()
        #driver.find_element_by_id("tab-1013-btnInnerEl").click()
        
    except NoElementPresentException as e: return False
    return True
 

 

On Server side i have:

 

procedure TUniForm.UniFrameCreate(Sender: TObject);
begin
  Button.JsControl.Cls := Self.Name + '.' + Button.Name;
  EditBox.JsControl.Cls := Self.Name + '.' + EditBox.Name;
end;
 

 

Saved me lot of typing in testing
