Gui Widgets¶
GuiElement¶
So far this was the GuiWidget type that was dicussed in documentation.
Arjuna has more types of widgets covered in the following sections.
GuiMultiElement - Handling Multiple GuiElements Together¶
Arjuna provides a special abstraction for representing mutliple GuiElements together rather than a raw Python list. This provides an opportunity to include higher level methods for test code authors.
Defining and Using a GuiMultiElement In Code¶
You can create a GuiElement using the multi_element factory call of a GuiApp (assume app to be GuiApp object):
app.multi_element(<locator_type>=<locator_value>)
Defining GuiMultiElement in GNS and Using it in Code¶
You can also define a GuiMultiElement in a GNS File.
In the GNS file for a label corresponding to a GuiMultiElement, add the type entry and set it to multi_element, for example:
cat_checkboxes:
type: multi_element
name: "delete_tags[]"
In your code, you can create an element of this as usual, however this time you’ll get a GuiMultiElement object instead of GuiElement.
check_boxes = app.gns.cat_checkboxes
Interacting with GuiMultiElement¶
It provides various properties and methods for a higher level interaction with a sequence of GuiElements.
It supports index based retrieval just like a regular list. Indexes start from computer counting (0).
In addition to this, it provides propeties like first_element, last_element and random_element.
DropDown - Handling Default HTML Select¶
DropDown object in Arjuna represents the Select-style control in the UI. Here, we cover handling of a default-HTML select control which has <select>` as the root tag and **option as the tag for an option.
Defining and Using a DropDown In Code¶
You can create a DropDown using the dropdown factory call of a GuiApp (assume app to be GuiApp object):
app.dropdown(<locator_type>=<locator_value>)
Defining DropDown in GNS and Using it in Code¶
You can also define a DropDown in a GNS File.
In the GNS file for a label corresponding to a GuiMultiElement, add the type entry and set it to dropdown, for example:
role:
type: dropdown
id: default_role
In your code, you can create an element of this as usual, however this time you’ll get a DropDown object instead of GuiElement.
element = app.gns.role
Interacting with DropDown¶
It provides various properties and methods for a higher level interaction with a drop down list.
You can select an option by its visible text by calling select_text method of DropDown.
DropDown provides various enquiry methods - has_visible_text_selected, has_value_selected, has_index_selected**.
DropDown also has enquirable properties - value and text.
There are other ways of selection as well - select_value to select by value attribute of an option, select_index to select an option present at provided index.
DropDown also has a way of selecting an option by setting its text property. This is similar to .text property setting of a text-box. It is different from select_text method in terms of implementation. select_text uses DOM inquiry to match the text of an option and then clicks it to select it. Setting the .text property similuates the user action where the user types a string in a focused/highlighted select control to select an option (in technical terms it is equivalent of sendkeys).
RadioGroup - Handling Default HTML Radio Group¶
RadioGroup object in Arjuna represents the Radio Buttons in the UI that belong to a single selection group (have the same name). Here, we cover handling of a default-HTML RadioGroup control which represents multiple <input type=’radio’>` elements which have the same **name attribute value.
Defining and Using a RadioGroup In Code¶
You can create a RadioGroup using the radio_group factory call of a GuiApp (assume app to be GuiApp object):
app.radio_group(<locator_type>=<locator_value>)
Defining RadioGroup in GNS and Using it in Code¶
You can also define a RadioGroup in a GNS File.
In the GNS file for a label corresponding to a GuiMultiElement, add the type entry and set it to radio_group, for example:
date_format:
type: radio_group
name: date_format
In your code, you can create an element of this as usual, however this time you’ll get a RadioGroup object instead of GuiElement.
element = app.gns.date_format
Interacting with RadioGroup¶
It provides various properties and methods for a higher level interaction with a radio group.
You can select a a by its visible text by calling select_text method of DropDown.
RadioGroup provides various enquiry methods - has_value_selected, has_index_selected.
RadioGroup also has value enquirable property.
You can use two ways of selecting a radio button - select_value to select by value attribute of an option, select_index to select a radio button present at provided index.
