On our site we have validation controls (VAM) that we use with our forms to force valid data input. If the input is invalid then an error/label will appear. VAM will validate the form when events that are associated with the form elements are fired. In simple terms it looks like this:
- Enter invalid text into textbox
- Remove focus from textbox (click away)
- Error/label displays
Today in my automated test using SWEA, I couldn't get the error/label to display since IE doesn't fire the event when the value is changed programmatically. In order to get SWEA to display the error I needed to use SWEA's Invoke() method to invoke the OnChange event. This is what it looked like:
|
case TestGoal.ClientSideError1:
//Enter a value into the textbox
((HtmlInputText)(IE.Scene["Zip"])).Value = zip;
//Force the OnChange Event using Invoke()
((HtmlInputText)(IE.Scene["Zip"])).Invoke("Method_OnChange");
myBrowser.Scene.WaitForActive(30000);
//Validate the resulting error label
Assert.AreEqual(message,
((HtmlContent)(IE.Scene["ClientMessage1"])).InnerHtml,
"Incorrect message");
break; |
Alex helped me through this issue and told me that he would work on making SWEA cleverer by adding automatic event handling. Thanks for your help Alex! |
