Object does not exists

[shwetasharma]

Hi All,

A very stange thing is happinig when i m tring to use dynamic code in my project

Here is my code

i want to check whether this link exists or not

Code:

browser("name:=.*").page("title:=.*").Link("html tag:=A","text:=+(91)-22-67732000","class:=ctc f13").exist

It says object does not exist
when i m using repository for this its working fine in following case

Code:

browser("xyz").page("xyz").Link("+(91)-22-67732000").exist

can anyone suggest whats wrong?

One more point the following code works fine in the same script

Code:

browser("name:=.*").page("title:=.*").WebElement("html tag:=A","class:=jdv","index:=0").Exist

Escape the special characters by '\'. For ex: "+" change to "\+"
"(" change to "\(" and ")" change to "\)"
Now try again .

Thanks pradeep

it worked ....

now i want to add that number in datatable so the code will be

Code:

browser("name:=.*").page("title:=.*").Link("html tag:=A","class:=ctc f13","text:="&DataTable("Number", dtGlobalSheet)).Exist

datatable will have
Number
\+\(91\)-22-67732000

is this the right way to do this?

As per my understanding ...instead of direct putting no. in dp ,you are fetching from datatable....
If I am right then,make a function and pass parameter fetching value from datatable and in that function you append '\' to all special characters .


For ex:

Code:

p=DataTable("Number", dtGlobalSheet)
pchanged=fnReplacingSpecialChars(p)

Function fnReplacingSpecialChars(p)
p=Replace(p, "(", "\(",,,1)
p=Replace(p,"+","\+",,,1)
p=Replace(p, ")", "\)",,,1)
fnReplacingSpecialChars=p
End Function

Then write this as :

Code:

browser("name:=.*").page("title:=.*").Link("html tag:=A","class:=ctc f13","text:="& pchanged).Exist(0)

Let me know ,Is it worked for you or not?
