Is it possible to traverse on diffrent webpage and pick data from webtable without mentioning the webpage in code?

[amit]

hello,

I want to make a common code which pick some data from webtable from different webpages. Here the webpages consist identical table .

This is an example in which I am picking data from ReportingReportTable . And the table present on RoleAssignment page.

So I want to use this code for different pages where table is identical . Is it possible without mentioning page we can traverse on any page and pick data?

 

 [CodedStep(@"Verify element 'ReportingReportTable' 'is' visible.")]
        public void check_CodedStep()
        {
     
            foreach (HtmlTableRow row in Pages.RoleAssignment.ReportingReportTable.AllRows)
                {
                    
                    if (row.Cells[1].InnerText.Equals("test, hr"))
                        {
         
                        row.Cells[1].AssertContent().InnerText(ArtOfTest.Common.StringCompareType.Contains,"test, hr");
                        row.Cells[2].AssertContent().InnerText(ArtOfTest.Common.StringCompareType.Contains,"hr1");
                        row.Cells[3].AssertContent().InnerText(ArtOfTest.Common.StringCompareType.Contains,"NFCEXAMPLE");
                        row.Cells[4].AssertContent().InnerText(ArtOfTest.Common.StringCompareType.Contains,"NFCEXAMPLE - NFCExample-Description");    
                            break;
                           
                            
                        }
                        else
                        {
                         
                              Pages.RoleAssignment.NextPageSubmit.Click(false);
                 
                        }
                        
            
        }
               
        }

Hello Amit,

Thank you for providing a sample code and details about the test scenario that you want to automate. 

It is certainly possible to find a table in a coded step, without relying on the Pages object. It is even recommended to use the approach below in some cases, because it makes the code independent of the project and the elements in the Elements Explorer.

The idea is to replace the HtmlTable object - Pages.RoleAssignment.ReportingReportTable, with another object that is created by the coded step itself. So, every time you execute this code, it will look for the table based on the provided logic in the current page's DOM tree. Please refer to the different methods in the Find class and see which one is the most suitable for your. Here is a sample code snippet that you can add to your code.

            HtmlTable table = Find.ByExpression<HtmlTable>("tagname=table", "id=tableid"); //adjust the find expression based on the table's attributes
			
			foreach (HtmlTableRow row in table.AllRows)
                {
                    
                    if (row.Cells[1].InnerText.Equals("test, hr"))
                    ....

I hope the above information and suggestion will be helpful to you. Let me know if you need further assistance.
