Setting "ID" for TableItem [message #814801]

Hello,

We have a need to attach an unique ID for UI components to allow our Selenium automation tests to detect the UI components and run test. We have no problem setting IDs for most components, such as Button, Composite, even Table. Now, we want to set an ID for a table ROW. The closest Java class for a row is TableItem. When I try to set WidgetUtil.CUSTOM_WIDGET_ID in TableItem.setData(), the ID never shows up in the corresponding HTML code. Does anyone have an idea why it does not work?

Thank you,
Ronald

Hello Ronald,

currently it is not possible to set an ID on a row.

Could you further describe your use case? Do you want to have the ID of the TableItem that is currently displayed by the row to show up as the row-ID?

The other option is to have a row with a certain ID, regardless of which TableItem is displayed by this row.

Regards,
Nick

Hi Nick,

I am Ronald's colleague. We would like each row in a table to have a unique id. The ID could be of the form "row_1", "row_2", etc ... That would suit our needs. We can then write our automation tests written in selenium to find our table, then find each child row, and perform actions against columns in the desired row.

Regards,

George

Hi George,

I'm Nick's colleague ;-) For me that sounds reasonable and I think it
shouldn't be too hard to implement. Would you mind filing an enhancement
request in our bugzilla [1]?
