Elements added on the fly

[Anshu]

Hi,

I'm testing an application which creates graphs(similar to a flowchart).

Which has a start node and an end node in the beginning.

There is a menu through which more nodes can be added on the page and can be connected to existing nodes.

My challenge is if I want to automate this application using Selenium then how do I find the element locator for the nodes added on the fly.

Can someone please tell me if this is even possible using Selenium.

Thanks!

Hi,

Could someone please help me. I'm unable to find answer to this over the web.

Thanks!

One suggestion I could make is to use a loop that looks for those items of type every few seconds. For example, if you know they will be of the form li[contains (@attribute, "item")], then count the ones you have initially, and check occasionally for changes.

Hi,

take the x,y coordinates of nodes and try with moveToElement() then moveByOffSet() methods of Actions Class.

Thanks for the replies Brenda and Venu,

Brenda, thanks for the pointers I'll try and use that approach

Venu, I was thinking to get the x and y co ordinates also we need to first locate that element. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks!
