Hello Arbind,

Thank you for contacting us.

The test fails most probably because Test Studio uses TextContent in the find expression of the drop down item. This TextContent differs in the different languages.

To resolve this you should also data bind it in the find expression.

Please check out this article which describes it details.

Let me know if this helps.

Boyan,

I believe that I am attempting to do the same thing. I have a drop-down field that contains the 50 US States. I'm trying to verify the values of the dropdown against a data binded excel sheet. Is it possible to achieve this without code?

Hi Herbie,

Thanks for contacting us. 

As per the provided details I suspect you do not need to use code to data bind the drop down and the required verifications. However I would like to know if you have reviewed how to data bind the find logic of an element and if that was helpful to find the best approach for your scenario. 

If you still encounter difficulties please specify your actions so far and the results you got. What are your expectations and what fails in your test? 

Thanks in advance for your cooperation!

Hello Elena,

My application contains a drop that has all 50 states abbreviated. I want to compare the values in that drop down to an Excel file that consist of all 50 states abbreviated and listed in a single column. Am I able to create a test up until the point of selecting the dropdown element, then have the test compare the list to the values in the Excel file?
So far, I've attempted to select the step of the drop down and data bind that step to the Excel sheet. I've also attempted to data bind the find logic of that element (described in the link you provided).

My expectation is that, if I data bind my drop down to the values of an Excel sheet to verify the states, if I were to (for example) delete or rename a state within the Excel sheet, then the test would fail when trying to compare the two. Is this correct?

I am trying to do something similar to the YouTube video titled "Taking Data Driven Web Testing for A Spin with Test Studio." The only difference is that I want to iterate though a single column of state abbreviations.

Thanks for you help, Elena!

Elena,

I just figured it out. I did not realize that (in my case) the specific step that is selecting the element to be validated, needs to be a Test As Step. After doing this, I was then able to bind that individual step within that test to my Excel file.

Thank you for your help
