Hi,
Hi everybody,
There are many things that need a real cleanup, but the first that I
want to do is buttons management.
Currently, we have :
clickButton(String buttonId)
clickButtonWithText(String buttonValueText)
clickElementByXPath(String xpath)
submit()
submit(String buttonName)
submit(String buttonName, String buttonValue)
reset()
In HTML 4.01 or XHTML 1.0, we can have many different possibilities :
<form>
<input type="submit">
<input type="reset">
<input type="button">
<button type="submit">
<button type="reset">
<button type="button">
</form>
I don't know if it is legal to use one of it outside of a form, but I
think it's possible (especially for client-side scripting), and
validator.w3.org has no problem with a page like :
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Test</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>
<input type="button" name="button1">
</p>
</body>
</html>
Currently, all our methods call assertFormPresent() in first place and I
don't think it's a good thing, as it seems to be allowed to have a
button outside a form...
There is also the problem of button identification : by text, by name,
by id, by image inside, by XPath...
Should we add as many methods as possible, or provide generic method ?
Example :
clickButton(String type, String attribut, String value);
-> clickButton("button", "name", "button1"); for <button name="button1">
or <input type="button" name="button1">
-> clickButton("reset", "id", "reset_btn"); for <input type="reset
id="reset_btn"> or <button type="reset id="reset_btn">
-> clickButton("submit", "", ""); for <input type="submit"> or <button
type="submit">
Or perhaps only provide the clickElementByXPath() method ?
