attribute exists verification ?

[Elo]

So I have a attribute verification step that looks like this:

 

AttributeName: readonly

AttributeName: <blank>

 

my markup looks something like this

<input type=text readonly id="text1">

<input type=text id="text2">

 

running the step against text1 produces a passed test

running the step against text2 also produces a passed test, even though the input textbox does not contain the readonly attribute.

 

Is there a better way to verify the existence of a particular attribute?

I know how to do this in code, but I'd always avoid code and use the builtin mechanisms first and foremost. :)

Hello Elo,

Thank you for sharing details about the test scenario that you want to automate.

I tried a few things on my end, in order to help you automate this verification without code, but it turns out that is not possible. The Advanced Verification allows you to verify the value of any particular attribute, however, that does not allow to check whether the attribute exists, as it defaults to an empty string.

I am sorry to bring you the bad news, but you need to stick to a coded solution on this.

Thank you for your understanding in advance.
