isTextPresent in Selenium 2 WebDriver?
one common question I get is:
What is the correct way to assert
the existence of some text on a page with WebDriver?
|
Solution:
AssertEquals(driver.getPageSource().contains(text),
true);
... which is a bad solution. E.g. does not reflect what is displayed on the page.
ReplyDeleteFrom the Selenium FAQ:
"Q: What's the Selenium WebDriver API equivalent to TextPresent ?
A:
driver.findElement(By.tagName("body")).getText()
will get you the text of the page. To verifyTextPresent/assertTextPresent, from that you can use your favourite test framework to assert on the text. To waitForTextPresent, you may want to investigate the WebDriverWait class."
I agree with artoo that it's not very nice solution. I believe that selenium test should act like
ReplyDeletelive person: when I open page and want to verify that one of headlines equals 'isTextPresent WebDriver', I will take a look in the particular place of page, I don't need to open page source or read all text in the page from header to footer.
So I will check only that block which I need, e.g.: AssertEquals(getDriver().findElement(By.tagName("h1")).contains(text), true);
