As the title says, I've been trying to sift through a DOM that has a bunch of "inbox" messages that are all lined up in a div. I've been trying just to grab the first inbox message's div and get it's id value and set it as an extracted value. Once I click on the message, and and come back to the page, it no longer is marked as "unread" and I want to grab that same id again to compare. (these messages are sorted by most recent, so it will always be the first message.)
You can see in the code block below that the unread messages are marked with a specific class, which lets me grab the first message. I also tried grabbing it as an element type (not using the <HtmlDiv>), and getting the ID via that way, it also didn't work.
Since these messages all have unique, generated ids based on their content, I haven't been able to work out a way to extract and compare them. Let me know if you need anything else from me, and I appreciate the help.
[CodedStep(@"Extract id of first new inbox message")]public void extractFirstNewInboxMessage(){ HtmlDiv firstMessageElement = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByAttributes<HtmlDiv>("class= row message unread"); string id = firstMessageElement.ID; SetExtractedValue("firstNewMessageElementID", id);}[CodedStep(@"Extract id of first inbox message")]public void extractFirstOldInboxMessage(){ HtmlDiv firstMessageElement = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByAttributes<HtmlDiv>("class= row message"); SetExtractedValue("firstOldMessageElementID", firstMessageElement.ID);}[CodedStep(@"compare extracted inbox messages")]public void compareInboxMessage(){ string newMessage = GetExtractedValue("firstNewMessageElementID").ToString(); string oldMessage = GetExtractedValue("firstOldMessageElementID").ToString; //bool value bool a = false; if (newMessage == oldMessage) { a = true; } Assert.IsTrue(a);}


Need to verify or confirm the field is displayed with * in the field name
thanks

Hi
I receive the error "System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object." on a coded step that logs a user out of web application in step 5, and then waits until the "thank you" text is displayed on the subsequent page until continuing with the script. The error is thrown on line 8. I construct the ThankYouSignOut object in line 7 almost exactly the same as the SignOutLink in step 2, so I'm at a loss as to why it's passing on step 2-5, but failing on 8. Any help would be appreciated!
1.ActiveBrowser.Window.SetFocus2.Dim SignOutLink AS HtmlAnchor = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression(Of HtmlAnchor)(new HtmlFindExpression("tagname=a", "href=~logout"))3.SignOutLink.Wait.ForExists(30000)4.SignOutLink.ScrollToVisible(ArtOfTest.WebAii.Core.ScrollToVisibleType.ElementTopAtWindowTop)5.SignOutLink.MouseClick6.ActiveBrowser.Window.SetFocus7.Dim ThankYouSignOut AS HtmlControl = ActiveBrowser.Find.ByExpression(Of HtmlControl)(new HtmlFindExpression("tagname=p","TextContent=^Thank you for using"))8.ThankYouSignOut.Wait.ForExists(30000)
Hi,
I have some questions related to Mobile app automation in telerik test studio:
1. How can you access the code behind the automatically created test steps?
2. how can I add a xpath to an element? i basically want to identify the element using xpath. It seems that I can access the element properties(query builder), and there is a "+" to add new properties. How can i generate a xpath automatically?
3. How can I reuse the elements in my previous test case? Currently, It seems that it creating a the same element again and again in every test case. please look in to the attached pic. This is a really big issue because in case if the developer changes the element information, I will have to go in to each test cases and update it.
4.How can I reuse test cases?

I have added a coded step to one of my tests and on trying to execute it, it throws some compiler error. (attached).
If anyone can help me out with resolving these error please.
