How to capture Layout Grid rows dynamically in ATS scripts

0
I have a listview which displays list of jobs, on clicking one job in this list next dataview listens and displays corresponding details of job. I am trying to capture this click on list view row but ATS recorder is not identifying this event. Is there any action in ATS that can be used to dynamically identify a list row, just like we have for data grid. If I explicitly give following – layoutGridSavedJobs index-1 textBox4, it works as expected. But my index# will vary everytime I run the script and hence need a way to dynamically look for row with my expected job#.

Hi Shaivya,

This can be achieved by using three ATS actions:

First, you need to find the element that contains the job#. You can use one of the 'Find Element’ actions for that, of which I prefer the ‘Find Element by Sizzle’ action. (Sizzle is an extended JQuery library, which allows you to find anything on the page). This action uses a sizzle selector as required parameter. If your job# is in textBox4 that selector would look like this:

.mx-name-textBox4:contains(“[job#]”)

Now, if that job# is different for every time you run the test case, you can create the selector dynamically with a ‘Concatenate String’ action. For now, I'll assume you know how to do this. If not, let me know and I'll explain.

Second you can now use ‘Find Item/Row (by child element)’, with the element that you located in step 1 as parameter. This returns the row in the listView that contains that job# element.

Third, you can use the ‘Click/Doubleclick’ action, using the returned row as parameter.

Hope this helps you on your way. If not, please don’t hestitate to continue asking questions here or contact me directly by email.
