Checking a field in Internet Explorer

[CaptainBeardsEyesBeard]

Hi there, 

 

I have a function to test checking a field in Internet Explorer 

Func CheckAField_In_InternetExplorer($ObjID, $ObjExpected, $FieldBeingTested)
   if StringInStr($ObjID.Value,$ObjExpected) then
      MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result for field    " & $FieldBeingTested, "Test Passed:  matches"& $ObjID.Value, 4)
      FileWrite($TestResults, @CRLF & "Test" & $TestCount & "Test Passed:    matches " & $ObjID.Value)

   Else
       MsgBox($MB_SYSTEMMODAL, "Test Result ", "Test Failed: doesn't match"& $ObjID.Value & "", 4)
        FileWrite($TestResults, @CRLF & "Test " & $TestCount & "Test Failed:"& $FieldBeingTested & "     doesn't match" & $ObjID.Value)
       Sleep(4000)
    EndIf
$TestCount = $TestCount +1
    EndFunc

I then am using this function in my main file

   ;/************************* Start URL for compliance letters **************************/
Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://testurl/testapp", 1)
Sleep(10000)
if WinSetState($ApplicationWindow, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE) Then


Else
   Sleep(6000)
   WinSetState($ApplicationWindow, "", @SW_MAXIMIZE)
EndIf


 ;/****************************End*************************************************************/
 
  ;/****************************Test Search button *********************************************/

Sleep(4000)
Local $WebSearch = _IEGetObjById($oIE, "mainSearchButton")
CheckAField_In_InternetExplorer($WebSearch, "Search", "Search Button")
 ;/****************************End*************************************************************/

However the test fails. If I then check the text file which I output logs/results to I get this which seems to not output the $ObjID.Value 

 

Quote

Test 1Test Failed:Search Button       doesn't match

The code for this is

FileWrite($TestResults, @CRLF & "Test " & $TestCount & "Test Failed:"& $FieldBeingTested & "     doesn't match" & $ObjID.Value)

Also see the screenshot attached of the inspect Element page of IE. 

 

Why is my test failing and the $ObjID.Value not being output?

It is not $ObjID.Value that you should check on for a button.  It is $ObjID.innerText...
