There is a table in the page (which is inside 1 to 4 hierarchy of nested tables). We can say, following is the structure in my page:
In a test action (that runs after this page is loaded/arrived in the run), I would like to read the manual number from this table cell and pass it onto the next/subsequent action in my test.
Following is the code that I am doing for this action "FindManualNumber"
Does the action have to have respective test-objects always associated to it (in the repository) to have the (Expert) script access them during run-time?. In other words, suppose our script accesses a table cell in a page, do we need to have this object in our repository?
Initially, I did not have any (test) objects associated to this action. Upon running the above-mentioned action script, Test-run complained saying "Could not find Browser...Page... element etc". So I added the Frame object into the action's local repository. Now test run is not able to find the specific table of my description.
I assumed, using the (Expert) script, we can access any object on the page at runtime without a corresponding test object associated/learned in the test/action repository.
As my assumption does not sound quite right!!!
Let me suppose it does (i.e. test always needs a test object even if we access it at run time completely using the script),
Can I not just have the test learn only (until) the (Browser->Page->)Frame object and access the table elements (which is a nested child of this learned Frame object) this way (as the code above)?
Your answer will clear one of my few critical doubts.
Thanks for your help
