| Assigning value to ID attribute to rendered html components [message #42189] |

Hi,
For the testing framework (Selenium) to be able to find HTML components in
the browser, one can assign unique value to ID attribute to the HTML
component (the alternative is using XPath, how can I do this through RAP
widget so that the resultant HTML component has their ID set ?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
Setya

Hi Setya,
I played around with RAP and Selenium awhile ago. I got to a point where
I can test a RAP application with JUnit tests based on Selenium.
BUT there is a major drawback in my current approach: You need to define
the id for every widget you can get by looking at the XHR responses of
your application. Also these ids can dramatically change due
circumstances like the widgets created before or the way you go trough
your application.
I put together a wiki page how to test RAP applications with this
approach. See http://wiki.eclipse.org/RapUITesting
There is a nice idea of identifiying widgets with a xpath-expression
like /shell[@active]/button[2] but we need to tweak RWT a little but to
make this happen (and also need a rap-specific selenium user extension).
But I really don't know if we have the time to adress this before the
1.0 release :(
If you're interested in this topic, we're happy about any contribution
or idea in this area.
Hope that helps a little bit
Benny

Thank you very much for this.

Yes, XPath is another way to find components, but I've heard that this is
not browser compatible approach.
