Question

I’m testing an Extjs application in selenium and I need to run a Script to set the value of the combo box. I’ve tried getEval command with target

var combo=Ext.getCmp('combobox name'); combo.setValue('4'); combo.fireEvent('select');

but I’ve got the following error:
[error] Threw an exception: Ext is not defined

can anyone help me please?

Answer 1

what about jsExecutor?

    JavascriptExecutor js = (JavascriptExecutor) driver;
    StringBuilder stringBuilder = new StringBuilder();
    stringBuilder.append("var combo=Ext.getCmp('combobox name');");
    stringBuilder.append("combo.setValue('4');");
    stringBuilder.append("combo.fireEvent('select');");
    js.executeScript(stringBuilder.toString());

if any other exceptions thrown – try debug step by step in IDE you work

also look here in Executing JavaScript from Your Test section:

JavaScript comes very handy in exercising an application which is not directly supported by selenium. The getEval method of selenium API can be used to execute JavaScript from selenium RC.

public static String[] getAllCheckboxIds () {
             String script = "var inputId  = new Array();";// Create array in java script.
             script += "var cnt = 0;"; // Counter for check box ids.
             script += "var inputFields  = new Array();"; // Create array in java script.
             script += "inputFields = window.document.getElementsByTagName('input');"; // Collect input elements.
             script += "for(var i=0; i<inputFields.length; i++) {"; // Loop through the collected elements.
             script += "if(inputFields[i].id !=null " +
             "&& inputFields[i].id !='undefined' " +
             "&& inputFields[i].getAttribute('type') == 'checkbox') {"; // If input field is of type check box and input id is not null.
             script += "inputId[cnt]=inputFields[i].id ;" + // Save check box id to inputId array.
             "cnt++;" + // increment the counter.
             "}" + // end of if.
             "}"; // end of for.
             script += "inputId.toString();" ;// Convert array in to string.
             String[] checkboxIds = selenium.getEval(script).split(","); // Split the string.
             return checkboxIds;
 }

or another example:

selenium.getEval("window.document.images.length;");

Hope this helps you
