如何验证 selenium IDE 中是否存在任何文本

Question

I know how to verify if a specific text is present in a web page using Selenium IDE. But what I wanted to know is, can you verify that any text is present in an element?

For example there's a text box with the title "Top Champion". This text box will be changed daily with the name of a person. Now I just wanted to check whether there is a text in this text box, no matter what the text actually is. I've tried the verify text command and tried blanking the value, but it doesn't work. If the command can return a true or false command that would be really helpful

BTW, verify value doesn't work either since the element that I'm testing is not a form field

Answer 1

Your best bet is as follows (I have written single tests for this for numbers)

Medium rigour:

waitForText | css=.SELECTORS | regex:.+?

This will wait until there is at least 1 character present.

Strong rigour (only works if you have a subset of characters present):

waitForText | css=.SELECTORS | regex:^[0-9]+$

This will wait until there is text. This text must start with a number, have at least 1 number, and then finish. It does not permit any character outside of the subset given. An example you could do to match numbersNAMEnumbers would be.

waitForText | css=.SELECTORS | regex:^[0-9]+[a-zA-Z]+[0-9]+$

This would wait for a string such as 253432234BobbySmith332

If i have understood your question properly there below is one way you can search for an element contains a string. Not sure if this is what you are looking.

List<WebElement> findElement = webElement.findElements(By.xpath("YOUR_TEXTINPUT_PATH_HERE"));
     if( findElement.size() > 0 ){
          if( findElement.get(0).getText() != null &&   findElement.get(0).getText().indexOf("THE_STRING_THAT_YOU_WANT_TO SEARCH") != -1 ) {
              // IF IT COMES HERE, THAT MEANS THE ELEMENT IS PRESENT WITH THE TEXT
          }
     }

store text|[your element]|StoredText  
execute script|return ${StoredText}.length > 0|x  
assert|x|true
