random number used in byValue

[Jurij]

Hello, first time posting here. I have a case where I want to generate a random number and use it in byValue selection. To be more specific, first I want to generate a random number on the fly (I used your VB code found in: http://docs.telerik.com/teststudio/advanced-topics/coded-samples/general/generate-random-number), then use this number to pick the number available from the dropdown menu.

I searched all over the docs, here and found nothing that would be useful to me. Example what I have in the test:

1. ...

2. Extract selection 'ByValue' on 'PriceCat' into DataBindVariable $(PriceCatValue)

3. [Add_to_cart_CodedStep1] : Generate random number between 1-5 $(randomNr):
         
          Dim random As New System.Random()
          Dim randomNr As Integer = random.[Next](1, 5)

4. Select 'ByText' option '1' on 'PriceCat' - DataDriven: [$(PriceCatValue)] <- here I want to use randomNr instead of "option '1'", like for example "option '$(randomNr)'"

Hopefully I'm specific enough.

Thanks!

Hello Jurij,

You don't need to use both (i.e. Data Driven and the random number). You should use one of them.

Here is an example code how to achieve it with the random number:

Dim random As New System.Random()
Dim randomNr As Integer = random.[Next](1, 5)
yourSelectElement.SelectByText("option " + randomNr.ToString(), True)

This is the example of SelectByText. SelectByValue works in the same way.

Hope this helps.
