Hello,

I have an issue want to ask in here. I have a textbox and I want to input a string into, after that, I want to get the string in the text box and compare with string I just using.

For e.g:

text = '123456789abcde'
WebUI.setText(findTestObject('my-testob'), test)
WebUI.getText(findTestObject('my-testob')

it still get text is ‘’ because it not submit to anywhere

How I can solve my issue?

String value = WebUI.getAttribute(findTestObject('my-testob'), "value")
WebUI.comment("value=${value}")      //  will show "123456789abcde"

If you don’t need to actually “get” the text but just want to verify the text was set in the textbox, then you can use:

WebUI.verifyElementAttributeValue(findTestObject('my-testob'), "value", "your text here", 10)
