尝试从Watir-Webdriver中的自定义属性中选择一个单选按钮

Question

Is trying it this way not possible? I added the code to extend the ability to allow custom selectors:

module Watir
  class ElementLocator    
    alias :old_normalize_selector :normalize_selector

    def normalize_selector(how, what)
      case how
        when :data_sku
          [how, what]
        else
          old_normalize_selector(how, what)
      end
    end
  end
end

And here is my code trying to select it from the random array. Even with the middle two lines uncommented I still get errors.

$monthlydata = ["GC311Z-02","GC307Z-02","GC308Z-02","GC309Z-02","GC310Z-02"].sample
#Watir::Wait.until { @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlydata) }
#@b.radio(:xpath, "//input[@data_sku='$monthlydata']").exists?
@b.radio(:xpath, "//input[@data_sku='$monthlydata']").set **(line causing the error)**

The error I get is the UnknownObjectException: unable to locate element. The line that's throwing up the error is the last one shown.

UPDATE

My updated code getting timeout errors:

    if @b.url == "http://www.website.com/cart/plans?ProductId=product"
        $monthlydata = ["GC311Z-02","GC307Z-02","GC308Z-02","GC309Z-02","GC310A-02"].sample
        assert @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlydata).when_present.set
    end

    $monthlymin = ["GC504Z","GC505Z","GC506Z","GC507Z","GC508Z"].sample
    assert @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlymin).when_present.set

    $monthlytxt = ["GC313Z-02","GC314Z-02","GC315Z-02","GC316Z-02","GC320Z-02"].sample
    assert @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlytxt).when_present.set

Answer 1

I assume that the radio buttons on your page have html like:

<input type="radio" data-sku="GC311Z-02" />

Solution 1 - Data Attribute Locator

Watir already supports locating elements via custom data attributes. There is no need to do any patching of the normalize_selector method.

You are correctly defining the data attribute locator when you did:

@b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlydata)

However, the line:

Watir::Wait.until { @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlydata) }

Will not do what you expected. Watir::Wait.until will wait until the block evaluates to true. The line @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlydata) will always return a truthy value as it is returning a Watir element object (one that has not yet been located). Therefore, wait never waits. The block needs to verify that the element is present:

Watir::Wait.until { @b.radio(:data_sku, $monthlydata).present? }

Though, you could shorten this to:

@b.radio(:data_sku => $monthlydata).wait_until_present

Or since you want to set the radio button:

@b.radio(:data_sku => $monthlydata).when_present.set

Solution 2 - Xpath

While I do not recommend going the xpath route in this scenario, it is possible. The reason that the line:

@b.radio(:xpath, "//input[@data_sku='$monthlydata']").set

fails is that $monthlydata is not properly inserted. As written, the xpath says to find a data-sku attribute that has the value "$monthlydata" (not the value that was randomly selected).

You need to do a string interpolation so that $monthlydata is actually interpreted rather than literal. As well, xpath requires @data-sku instead of @data_sku :

@b.radio(:xpath, "//input[@data-sku='#{$monthlydata}']").when_present.set
