Geb - Spock - Setting date range on a non-editable span field having Calendar

[Janani Sampath Kumar]

Hi Team,

I'm a newbie to Geb and looking for some options to automate the Date Range Field in a web page.

1. Field is non-editable

2. On clicking, a calendar instance will pop-up where we need to select the start date and end date

Any help/guidance on the above is really appreciated !

Thanks in advance !

Hi there,
Geb is using JQuery to access the html components. You need to know the id, class... of the field/ popup/ date component.

There are basically two options:

- you can interact with the field in the exact same way as a user would, that is by clicking and then interacting with the calendar

- if your application under test includes jQuery then, as suggested by Tu, you can work around the fact that the field is not editable by using jQuery to manipulate its value; I would suggest using Geb's jQuery integration (http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#jquery-integration)

Whichever route you use I'd suggest using a module class to abstract out implementation details of how changing of the value it is implemented.

Hi tu Mimi and Marcin Erdmann,

Thanks for your reply !

Using jQuery, I can simulate a user clicks, mouseover actions, sending keystrokes, etc. but I'm still not clear about setting different input values for date.

As an example, how to simulate the specific date say 10/09/2017 - 11/10/2018 ?

Can you please point me some working example ?

Thanks in advance !

I doubt you'll find an example that helps much, since the specifics of how you'd do this depend completely on how the field works. You'll need to simulate a click on the field, wait for the date picker to appear, then click on the date picker's days to choose the date(s) you want. So the real key is knowing what the DOM Id and/or CSS class selectors are for the field, the date picker, and the individual day elements are so that you can click on them or wait for them to appear/hide.
