Question

I’m having a hard time testing our Wicket application using Selenium because of the random markup ids.

For individual elements, I can use abc.setOutputMarkupId(true).setMarkupId("myId")
to set their markup id explicitly.
But what if the element is added dynamically using a repeater (like ListView)? Is there a way to specify how the markup id sequence should look like?

Answer 1

Well, can’t you do the same thing with ListView? If you make your own ListView implementation, and then in the populateItem(final ListItem<?> listItem) method, on that respective listItem you do:

listItem.setOutputMarkupId(true); // write id attribute of element to html
listItem.setMarkupId("id"+i);

where i is some index you initialize in the ListView’s constructor or something?
