For my acceptance testing I’m writing text into the auto complete extender and I need to click on the populated list.

In order to populate the list I have to use AppendText instead of TypeText, otherwise the textbox looses focus before the list is populated.

Now my problem is when I try to click on the populated list. I’ve tried searching the UL element and clicking on it; but it’s not firing the click event on the list.

Then I tried to search the list by tagname and value:

Element element = Browser.Element(Find.By('tagname', 'li') && Find.ByValue('lookupString'));

but it’s not finding it, has anyone been able to do what I’m trying to do?

  1. The shorter version of that is:

    string lookupString = 'string in list'; Element list = Browser.Element('li', Find.ByText(new Regex(lookupString))); list.MouseDown();

    Regexs will do a partial match so you don’t need to specify .* either side and use string.Format. This assumes however that the lookupString doesn’t contain any characters special to Regexs, they’d need to be escaped.
