Hi,
I have a test that tests all the links on a given page by clicking on
them. I use clickLink to click. There is one more piece of logic where
I am checking for a link url pattern and if it matches a given pattern
then I dont want to click on that link more than three times. Reason
for doing this is I have more than 500 links that have the same url
except for some different url params, so I dont want to test them all.
Below is my code and the problem I am facing.
==========================================================
<repeat xpath="//a" counterName="link" description="Click on each link
on the HomePage" >
<storeXPath description="Link Url" xpath="$link/@href"
property="linkUrl" />
<scriptStep language="groovy">
def articlePageUrlPattern = /.*ArticlePage\?id=[1-9]+.*/;
try {
articlePageCount;
} catch(e) {
articlePageCount = 0;
}
if( !("#{linkUrl}" ==~ articlePageUrlPattern) ) {
step.setWebtestProperty('clickLink', 'true');
} else {
step.setWebtestProperty('clickLink', 'false');
articlePageCount++;
if(articlePageCount > 3) {
step.setWebtestProperty('clickLink', 'false');
} else {
step.setWebtestProperty('clickLink', 'true');
}
}
</scriptStep>
<ifStep test="#{clickLink}">
<clickLink xpath="$link[@href]" description="#{linkUrl}"/>
&testForErrorPage;
</ifStep>
</repeat>
==========================================================
The problem I am facing:
It always goes in a catch block and sets articlePageCount to zero and
then test ends up testing all the links with that pattern. How do I
solve this problem? It seems link in every iteration of <repeat>,
Groovy code block behaves like it doesnt know what happened in the
previous iternation. I have also tried setting articlePageCount
outside of <repeat> inside of a separate <ScriptStep> Groovy block.
That doesnt work.
Any thoughts? Something I am doing wrong?
