Visibility of UI buttons in Automated Test Facility

sbrecht · ‎06-19-2017

The ATF returns results that UI buttons are not visible but they are plainly visible. A test to confirm the invisibility of the buttons is successful. What could cause this confusion.

If you are trying to test the UI Action such as 'Save', you need to remember that there might be several UI Actions named 'Save' (I have 4 of them in my environment) on the same table (plus global UI Actions) and you need to make sure to pick exactly the one that appears on your form. I would try to verify sys_ids to be certain.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Masha. Having made that mistake numerous times already, I ran a test to confirm that I was using the correct UI buttons by asking it to confirm that the buttons were not visible. That test came back positive. Thanks again. Your help is greatly appreciated.

Hi,

Appreciate this is going back sometime ago but I was wondering if you could share the TEST step which allows you to check the button is not visible?

Many Thanks,

James
