Testing Area/Behat Testing/Selectors and Elements

Elements and Selectors

Elements and selectors are used in the syntax in the steps. They help Behat identify what exactly you want it to click on.

• Element and Selectors are to be used in unison. An Element is the title of the selector you are using. Ie, If you need to press a button. The button is the Selector and then Element is the name of the button.

As an example:

And "$elements" "$selector" should be visible

Would be written as:

And "Create page" "button" should be visible

Elements

• Element are the title of the selector.

The hard one is: "css_elemet"

• For this you need to right click-> Inspect Element and then find the class or Id. Class is recognized by a full stop and ID is recognized by a #.

For example using the search box on the copy page or collection:

And I click on ".query-button" "css_element"

Selectors

Where ever it says "Selector" any of these forms of selectors can be used:

• dialogue
• block
• region
• table_row
• link
• button
• link_or_button
• select
• checkbox
• radio
• file
• filemanager
• optgroup
