Question

I cant click on a Sencha 2 generated button as it isnt a input field. It builds up the button with divs and spans.

Found this link which describes how to click the buttons with a Selenium test
http://mobilewebqa.blogspot.com/

Problem: How to click on a Sencha Touch button? The built in Selenium click, click_at, etc methods would not work.

Solution: Fake out a Sencha Touch tap event by using the following steps:

focus
mouse_down
mouse_up

But how do I invoke this events from Selenium?

Any other good advice how to test the UI is received with thanks. I saw someone mentioned Siesta, anyone used that?

You can execute Javascript via Selenium. So you’re able to use Ext.ComponentQuery.

((JavascriptExecutor) driver).executeScript("var button = 
Ext.ComponentQuery.query('mypanel button')[0]; 
button.fireEvent('tap',button)");

This is not pretty but works.
