Sahi Pro - Tweaking Sahi APIs
Identifying elements by an attribute not available with Sahi
It is possible that Sahi does not use your desired element attribute while identifying elements.For example one of our users wished to use the "title" attribute of a button
<input type="button" title="findMe">
To add title as one of the attributes, do the following:- Open sahi/userdata/config/accessors_metadata.txt
- Search for
- Add "title" to the list of attributes so that
- Save the file, restart Sahi and clear browser cache.
{tag: "INPUT", type: "button", event:"click", name: "_button",
attributes: ["value", "name", "id", "index", "className"],
action: "_click", value: "value"};
attributes: ["value", "name", "id", "index", "className"]
becomesattributes: ["value", "name", "id", "index", "title", "className"]
The full line looks like this after the change:{tag: "INPUT", type: "button", event:"click", name: "_button",
attributes: ["value", "name", "id", "index", "title", "className"],
action: "_click", value: "value"};
NOTES:
- Any attribute of the HTML element can be used for identification. So if you are using a framework which introduces something like widgetID="myId", you can add "widgetID" in the above attributes list.
- The order of the attributes is significant. So if you wish to move "title" to be the default attribute, make it
- When an attribute is added, regular expression matching, adding of index for duplicates etc. are handled automatically by Sahi.
attributes: ["title", "value", "name", "id", "index", "className"]
infoNOTE: title is now added by default to Sahi
