Unable to capture value of Webelement which is changing dynamically

[sheetal]

Hi All,

I am trying to automate a web application developed in Java. Attached is the screenshot. In the screen, I want to capture the value of Issue# which is 12544 in the screen. When I capture the property of the object its seen as Browser-> Page -> WEbElement -> WebTable ->innertext.

But the value of WebTable changes dynamically like WebTable,WebTable_1,WebTable_2. I used regular expression for this and I am trying to capture the value currently as

Code:

Browser("AES - CATS - Login >>").Page("Whitepaper Summary
Page_2").WebElement("Name:=WebTable.*").GetROProperty("innertext")

But I am getting a run-time error saying - The "[ WebElement ]" object's description matches more than one of the objects currently displayed in your application. Add additional properties to the object description in order to uniquely identify the object.

Please can you help me in identifying the object uniquely and capturing the value...

Regards,
Sheetal

Hi,
As per the object state mentioned i.e,
Browser-> Page -> WEbElement -> WebTable ->innertext.

Then it will comes like this

Code:

Browser("xxxX").Page("xxxxx").WebElement("xxxx").WebTable("xxxxxx").getcelldata(row,column)

But ur code seems

Code:

Browser("AES - CATS - Login >>").Page("Whitepaper Summary
Page_2").WebElement("Name:=WebTable.*").GetROProperty("innertext")

Here u were capturing innertext directly from webelement instead of webtable

Finally after getting the cell value then use the Mid function to capture the required value from the cell

Try with this and let me know if u have any issues..

Sheetal -
Can you provide a spyshot of the Webelement ? It is necessary because i believe the name of the webelement is webtable and not a webtable there actually.

[sheetal]

Thanks for the replies...

Basanth @ - As u told the WebTable is name of Webelement and not a webTable object as such. I have attached the screenshot.

Venkat@ - Since there is no WebTable object I cannot use the fucntion you have mentioned below.

Sorry for the wrong information. I am attaching the ObjectSPy screenshot. Please can you have a look at it and help me out..

Hi Sheetal,
Did u try like this

Code:

Browser("xxxX").Page("xxxxx").WebElement("xxxx").WebTable("Issue #").GetRoProperty(“text”)

---

sorry it is

Code:

Browser("xxxX").Page("xxxxx").WebTable("Issue #").GetRoProperty
(“text”)

use webtable instead of webelement to get the dynamic value

I am unable to use WebTable directly under Page. Please can you suggest any other solution.

[Saket]

try using one more property like index with the name. like-

Code:

Browser("AES - CATS - Login >>").Page("Whitepaper Summary
Page_2").WebElement("Name:=WebTable.*","index:=1").GetROProperty("innertext")

But your screenshot is showing that webtable("Issue#") has been placed under "Page"

So while adding the object to object repository add this object as webtable, then your problem will resolve
