Re: [QF-Test] Unable to get the state of a checkbox

[Martin Moser <martin.moser@?.de>]

Hi Michael,

your web-page is a good sample how you could extend QF-Test to recognize
custom HTML objects.

The short answer:
Insert a procedure call to qfs.web.ajax.installCustomWebResolver from
the qfs.qft as last step of your Setup node.
Then set the parameter "genericClasses" to checkbox=CheckBox.

In case you have already such a call or a call to
qfs.web.ajax.installToolkitResolver, please replace that call with the
new one.


The long explanation:
As HTML as no clear definition which object represent a button or a
checkbox there are lots of toolkits around which create whatever they
want to create. In order to make a generic tool like QF-Test working
with such a flexible and generic infrastructure, it's required to
"translate" the custom HTML structure to the vocabulary of QF-Test
generic classes.

Let's take a look at your case:
If you analyze that checkbox with any developer tools for web-pages you
will see that this checkbox has the following HTML code:

<div class="checkbox c-checkbox">
	<label>
		<input ...>
		<span....
	</label>
</div>

Whenever you record clicks the "span" node get all clicks, because this
node is drawn over the actual input node.

So now we need to find a way how we can translate that structure to the
QF-Test generic classes.
This translation happens via the "qfs.web.ajax.installCustomWebResolver"
procedure from the qfs.qft.
At this call you have the parameter "genericClasses" which you can use
to translate the css-classes of your application to QF-Test generic classes.
In your case the <div> node actually represents the entire checkbox and
it has a meaningful class attribute, so I translated this into a QF-Test
"CheckBox". That's why the short reply has checkbox=CheckBox in the
parameter.

You can find more information about this in the manual:
Chapter "38.3 Customizing Qf-Test for your AJAX toolkit".

BTW: In November there will be a special webinar dealing with this topic.

Best Regards,
Martin
