 anchor pos report

anchor pos report

Description

Determines whether after the given automated tests are finished, TestArchitect generates a report file which contains the anchor and/or anchor pos properties and their replacement XPath property.

Allowable values

• yes/true

  Exports a report file in tab-delimited format to a default location. (See Notes)

• no/false

  Does not export a report file.

Default value

no/false

Applicable Systems/Platforms

• This built-in setting is supported on the following systems/platforms:
  • Windows: Mozilla Firefox.
• This built-in setting is able to successfully output a report file, when all of the below conditions are met. Otherwise, no report file is generated.
  1. The use browser built-in setting is set to Firefox.
  2. The presence of the anchor and/or anchor pos properties in test procedures.

Notes

• It is highly recommended that you declare this built-in setting in startup settings, before launching a test run. This minimizes the modifications to your test procedures.

• After the given automation tests are done, a report file is automatically exported to the following location C:\Users\Public\LogiGear\TestArchitect\log (Windows).

• Syntax of the filename is as follows: anchors_report_<resultName>.txt, such as, anchors_report_ActionBasedTesting (2017-10-19 13.40.36) - 7292.txt

• A report file has three columns including:

  1. Entity URL: TestAchitect URL of project items which contains anchor and/or anchor pos properties.

  2. XPath: The replacement XPath property.

     注意: 
     Use this column’s value when your interface elements are defined in interface entities, also known as static identifiers.

  3. Element XPath Definition: Definition of the replacement XPath property in case of dynamic identifiers.

     注意: 
     Use this column’s value when your interface elements are defined dynamically.

• Each column in a report file is separated by a tab delimiter. Therefore, it is highly recommended that you open this file by MS Excel spreadsheet.

Steps to replace anchor and/or anchor pos by XPath

1. In startup settings, declare the anchor pos built-in setting with the value of yes. (Learn more.)
2. Execute your tests.
3. After the tests are finished, find the report file located at C:\Users\Public\LogiGear\TestArchitect\log. Filename of the report is anchors_report_<resultName>.txt, such as, anchors_report_ActionBasedTesting (2017-10-19 13.40.36) - 7292.txt
4. Open the report file by using MS Excel spreadsheet.
5. Repeat the below steps for each of anchor and/or anchor pos which are replaced by XPath.

   1. In the report file, from the Entity URL column, copy and paste URL of a project item to File Explorer, and then press the Enter key. TestArchitect navigates exactly to the desired item.

   2. For static identifiers:

      1. Copy the value from the XPath column in the report file.
      2. Manually modify anchor and/or anchor pos to XPath in TestArchitect’s test editors.
         
         

   3. For dynamic identifiers:

      1. Copy the value from the Element XPath Definition column in the report file.
      2. Replace the dynamic definitions of anchor and/or anchor pos by the dynamic definitions of XPath in TestArchitect’s test editors.
