How would I get to the HTML source page?

[Thanh]

I have an calendar web app that gives the user an RSS page / XML page of today's events. I want to verify that data, but I'm not sure how to get the XML page as as element to read the data.

Here is an example of the XML page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?><event><item><title>PROD-1464</title><date>Thursday, April 26, 2012</date><time /><enddate>Saturday, May 26, 2012</enddate><description /><location>Centerville Room 5</location><library>Centerville Library</library><link></link></item><item><title>Ongoing Event</title><date>Wednesday, May 09, 2012</date><time /><enddate>Thursday, May 31, 2012</enddate><description /><location>Centerville Room 5</location><library>Centerville Library</library><link></link></item><item><title>Automation Weekly Recurring Event</title><date>Tuesday, May 15, 2012</date><time>1:00 PM</time><enddate /><description /><location>Centerville Room 4</location><library>Centerville Library</library><link></link></item></event>

Hello Thanh,

Thanks for trying Test Studio. Because your XML document will not contain a DOM, there is no way for Test Studio to locate and verify elements within it. You can create a coded step to fetch the document and perform whatever actions you wish with its contents -- but you would have to write the code to do so.

Kind regards,

Hello Byron,

Thank you responding so quickly. Is there a variable I can call to fetch the document source to read the data?

Thank you,
Thanh

Hello Thanh,

The XML document on your site will not itself be stored in a variable. However, you can access the source of the HTML displayed in the current browser using the ActiveBrowser.ViewSourceString variable. If you wish to store the contents of the XML document in a variable, you will need to accomplish this in code.
