Dynamically created content with flex-pilot

[Janne Härkönen]

Hi,

I have a situation where clicking a button creates some new components
in the UI. It seems to me that these newly created components are not
found by flex-pilot. I made a simplified example [1] in which I am
able to click the "createContentButton" but not the button created by
it when using flex-pilot with Firebug.

Is this a limitation of flex-pilot? If so is it a fundamental one, or
is there a workaround?

Hi Janne,

I have seen lots of dynamic components interacted with via flex-pilot, this seems like a timing situation. Can you give me some more details as to what you are doing in firebug?

Thanks,

Adam

Hi,

turns out this was my bad. It seems that unlike selenium, flex-pilot
does not support using names and ids interchangeably. Using proper
locator solved the problem for me.
