Selenium – How to perform auto complete textbox operation in selenium IDE

functional-testingseleniumselenium-idetesting

I am testing a Magento POS application with Selenium IDE. There is a auto complete textbox, where I need to put the product name. As the auto complete textbox works, when we started typing, it starts searching. I tried a lot, but still I am unable to figure out how to test that in Selenium. I have tried the below command

typeAndWait(selector,sony)
verifyText(class=ui-autocomplete:first-child,sony)
click(class=ui-autocomplete:first-child)

But it is not working. Any help? I don't understand, what to do ?

Use waitForText instead of verifyText

Selenium IDE select window issue

The issue you are facing is that there is a bug in selenium IDE where it can only recognize windows that IT opened. You are unable to select the new window with "selectWindow" because Selenium IDE did not "Open" the window. It "clicked" on the link, and the webpage "opened" the window.

The workaround is to use storeAttribute on the hyperlink element pointed @href to extract the url from the link and store it as a variable. Then use openWindow. So instead of:

<tr>
    <td>click</td>
    <td>//table[@id='dtgList']/tbody/tr[1]/td/a/u</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>10000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>selectWindow</td>
    <td>Profile</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

Use this tactic:

<tr>
    <td>storeAttribute</td>
    <td>//table[@id='dtgList']/tbody/tr[1]/td/a@href</td>
    <td>Profile</td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>echo</td>
    <td>${Profile}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>openWindow</td>
    <td>${Profile}</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>pause</td>
    <td>10000</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>
<tr>
    <td>selectWindow</td>
    <td>Profile</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

Hope that helps.
