Question

I am testing a extjs-based web applaction with robotframework and selenium2library,but I can not locate some elements which is contained by a table component. The selenium2library have a keyword called Execute javascript, so I want to kown how can I execute javascript ,For example how can I execute the js code:

var a=document.getElementById('ext-comp-1155').getElementsByTagName("button");
a[0].click();

Does anyone have successful extjs-based web pages automated testing experiences ? Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

You should be able to execute the javascript like this

  Execute Javascript var a=document.getElementById('ext-comp-1155').getElementsByTagName("button"); a[0].click(); 

I.e. event though there are mutliple statements in the javascript, you can give them in single argument, as long as the semicolons are in place.

That can be made a bit more readable like this:

 ${button clicker}=  document.getElementById('ext-comp-1155').getElementsByTagName("button")[0].click() 
 Execute Javascript  ${button clicker}
