As part of automation testing, we want to inspect the element in a website which is made of using the Zebkit UI framework.
We are unable to find the element using zebra.ui
examples can be found here
Can someone help us on inspecting the element
Zebkit UI components are rendered on HTML5 Canvas. So they are not part of browser DOM tree what can be a problem for a test tool that expects DOM as an input. But it doesn't mean you cannot go over zebkit UI stuff to perform test cases.
First of all keep in mind zebkit components are a hierarchy/tree like DOM is. Every rendered on a canvas zebkit UI component has a related JS instance of appropriate class. There are number of API methods you can use to travel over UI components tree. These methods expect path (XPath-like) since path (from my point of view) is less "encrypted" way than CSS selector.
The API methods you probably need:
byPath(path [,callback]) - traversing UI components tree by the given path
var zcanvas = new zebkit.ui.zCanvas();
...
// travel over all UI components in tree
zcanvas.byPath("//*", function(comp) {
// perform test cases here
...
});
properties([path,] properties) applies the specified properties set to component or number of components requested by the given path
var zcanvas = new zebkit.ui.zCanvas();
...
// set color property to black value for all labels
zcanvas.properties("//zebkit.ui.Label", { color: "black" });
on([eventName], [path], handler) add listener method(s) for the given event (or all events) of the given component or components identified with the path:
var zcanvas = new zebkit.ui.zCanvas();
...
// register event listener for all found buttons
zcanvas.on("//zebkit.ui.Button", function (src) {
// handle button press event here
...
});
fire([eventName,] [path,] [argument]) fire the given event to the given component or to components identified with the path:
var zcanvas = new zebkit.ui.zCanvas();
...
// fire button pressed event to button with id equals "testButton"
zcanvas.fire("//[@id='testButton']");
...
// or the same with a shortcut
zcanvas.fire("#testButton");
