compare the position of the element with the previous element

[HP]

 
Hi,

I am relatively new to this group and to working with ruby and calabash. I have a situation and much appreciate your comments

I am trying to automate a test with calabash cucumber ruby for android. I am trying to assert that my element_to_find appears after so and so element

I tried query("Textview","text") to get all the text view elements and then tried query("Textview index:17") get the desired element

So would the code be something like this

if exists
  list_of_elements= query("Textview","text") 
  compare_element_index=list_of_elements.index('16')
  desired_element_index=list_of_elements.index('17')
  if (compare_element+1).eql? (desired_element)
  puts "the element position is correct"
  else
  fail " the element order is incorrect"
end

I want it to be as generic as possible.
Many Thanks

Cheers

HP

You can access the y-coordinate of each view to assert their position relative to each other. For example

# Layout:
#
#    foo
#    bar
#    baz


queries = ["* text:'foo'", "* text:'bar'", "* text:'baz'"]


previous_query = nil
previous_result = nil

queries.each do |q|
  result = query(q).first

  unless previous_result.nil?
    y = result['rect']['y']
    previous_y = previous_result['rect']['y']

    if y < previous_y
      raise "#{q} should be below #{previous_query}"
    end
  end

  previous_query = q
  previous_result = result
end

Thanks for the prompt reply Tobias

I tried this and this worked

def position_of_element(current_entry, previous_entry)
  list_of_elements= query("Textview marked:'Entry'","text")
  puts "The events appear in the order #{list_of_elements}"
  previous_element_index = list_of_elements.index("#{current_entry}")
  next_element_index = previous_element_index + 1
  element_to_find_index = list_of_elements.index("#{previous_entry}")
  if next_element_index == element_to_find_index
    puts "The event '#{current_entry}' occurs in correct order"
  else
    fail "The event '#{current_entry}' does not appear after '#{previous_entry}'"
  end
end

Just want to make it more generic interms of passing Textview , entry and text to the query

What would be the assertion step for this ...

Then I see entry2 appears after entry1 when queried by Textview entry text.

or is there any better way of writing this

Cheers

Your code asserts that the order in which the elements are returned from the test server corresponds to their y-coordinate sorted order. This is not the case. I see no reason why the code snippet I provided will not suit your needs :)

Sure. I will see what u mean. Will try that. Thanks
