I made a demo

Verifying today's Year/Month/Day in a Web page using XPath; plus how to create a parameterized TestObject by script

I have made a GitHub project: where I described my project just for your interest. I’m not reporting any problems of KS. Problem to solve There is a web page http://demoaut-mimic.kazurayam.com/ [demoaut-mimic] A date string 2020/5/16 is displayed in the page. I want to verify the date is TODAY. The value displayed yesterday was different from today. Tomorrow, it will be different from today. The date value displayed in the page moves. I do not want to edit my test script to cope with t…

1. The script needs the datetime value of TODAY. I will use java.time.LocalDate class to get it.
2. The LocalDate class provides plusDays(int n) and other convenient methods. We can calculate the date of Tomorrow ( today.plusDays(1) ) or Yesterday ( today.minusDays(1) ) just easily.
3. Datetime value displayed in a web page is formatted in various ways. Often date display is tailored according to Locale. E.g, in Japan, I may see 令和2年5月16日. I need to format the today’s date to cope exactly with the format applied in the web page. I will use java.time.format.DateTimeFormatter to format the instance of java.time.LocalDate into a String.
