hi everyone please help with this question. i would like to repeat several steps in a test case but when the loop happens i would like step 8 to use a different object. so. after step 11 it would start at step 7 and click a different object. step 8’s object is basically a hyperlink. so would i have to save all the objects, or is there a way to enter the id #'s into a data driven file and pull from there on the loop?
Hi @j_berg72
Hi, may I see the details of the Test Object of step #8 ?
The idea is that you would parameterize your Test Object, which means instead of using a specific number in the locator such as:
//*[@href='/your/end/point/123']
You would do something like this (in the Selected Locator field in your test case
//*[@href='/your/end/point/${id}']
Then in the test case using this object, you can write something like this
def values = ['1111','2222','3333','4444'];
// Looping over the array declared above, and with each value
for(value : values) {
// Find the test object, pass the value inside it, and then click on it
WebUI.click(findTestObject('your Test object Id', ['id': value]));
}
That’s the general idea. Please try to apply it to see if there’s any difficulty.
yes here is the details of test object in step 8. if i change the text to the specific id, it will grab it. my goal is when it loops grap the next id. but i cant figure how for it to pull the next ID when it loops for the second, third, so on so forth…
