Following the other question that I raised recently, could you guys help spot what is wrong with the way how I wrote the "below" friendly locator? Thank you in advance!

Scenario: Get UI - Download
   Given url 'https://test01/v1/doc/env/
   And headers headers1
   When method get
   Then status 200
   * def env = response.url

   Given driver env
   And click('{button}Proceed')
   And click('{span}Start')
   And click('{span}Required - GSA)
   And click('{span}Required - GSB')
   And click('{span}Required - GSC')
   And click('{span}Required - GSD')
   And click('{span}Required - GSE')
   And click('{span}Required - GSF')
   And click('{span}Required - GSG')
   And click('{span}Required - GSH')
   * below('{}Required - GSH').input('karate dsl')

I have a textarea that I would like values to be entered, but the friendly locator "below" is not working for me.

javascript evaluation failed: below('{}Required - GSH').input('karate dsl'), unable to find: {}Required - GSH, BELOW, INPUT

Update: Here's the snippet of the HTML:

Radio button that I need to select first, so the text area will be enabled/required

  • impossible to answer without seeing your HTML, can you point to a public example like this: https://stackoverflow.com/a/60800181/143475 - or you have to follow this process: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/develop/examples/ui-test - but see my answer guess below – Peter Thomas Apr 28 '20 at 11:10
  • @PeterThomas, thank you so much for your prompt response. Really appreciate it. I have updated question with snippet of the HTML because adding .find('textarea') didn't work. – Drachir Apr 28 '20 at 23:43

    @PeterThomas, this ```* click('textarea[id=tab-form-element-3c020567-3db9-449b-bed5-c44b32a236fa]').input('karate dsl')``` works for me. – Drachir Apr 29 '20 at 01:47
  • @PeterThomas, The above works for single template only since the text area id is getting generated dynamically for new document. Is there a way that I can use ```
    ``` to locate the object? I tried multiple way using {^} but to no avail.
     – Drachir Apr 29 '20 at 04:43
  • won't simply `* input('.doc-tab textarea', 'karate dsl')` or `.main-text-tab-input` work ? – Peter Thomas Apr 29 '20 at 05:22
  • @PeterThomas, I have 13 of them in the page so I need to uniquely identify each one of them. The prefix of the data-label is something that I can use to uniquely steer them individually by using ```myQues1_1***```, ```myQues1_2***```, and so forth. – Drachir Apr 29 '20 at 05:56
  • ok - can you see my edit. this is an interesting challenge ! – Peter Thomas Apr 29 '20 at 06:39

    @PeterThomas, You and KarateDSL rock! I am automating API + UI and the tool is awesome! – Drachir Apr 29 '20 at 07:24

Just a guess, try this:

* below('{}Required - GSH').find('textarea').input('karate dsl')

This is needed if not the "default" input, see docs: https://github.com/intuit/karate/tree/master/karate-core#friendly-locators

EDIT: the following will work for your use-case in version 0.9.6.RC2

  * def list = locateAll('div[data-label]')
  * def condition = function(x){ var label = x.script("_.getAttribute('data-label')"); return label.startsWith('myQues1_2') }
  * def found = karate.filter(list, condition)
  * found[0].locate('textarea').input('karate dsl')

It is a little tricky, but please refer to the docs for each API to understand what is going on.

And I have opened a feature request to make this even easier, feel free to comment there or propose more changes: https://github.com/intuit/karate/issues/1123
