Hi,

I'm trying to capture hidden fields from html response, for some ids it's working but not for all.

HTML Response: (Sample)
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
<html lang="en">
<head>
    ...
</head>

<body class="bodyBg">
    ...
    <input attr-ignore-in-post='****' type='hidden' id='invoiceHeaderRowId' value='1252277'>
 ...
    <div class='three columns display-none' id='invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowIdcontainer'>
        <label class='  ' id='invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId-label' for='invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId'>&nbsp;</label>
        <div class='field'>
            <input type="text" id="invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId" name="invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId" attr-type="****"  attr-two-phase="****" value="2495" class="input display-none" />
        </div>
        <div id='invoiceHeaderExts_invoiceHeaderExtRowId_error_message' class='detail-view-error-message'>&nbsp;</div>
    </div>
    ...
    <input type='hidden' id='invoiceStatus' value="HOLD" attr-two-phase="*****"> ...
</body>
</html>


Gatling HTTP Request:
.exec(http("DetailPage")
 .post("/***/ajax/***")
 .headers(headers_2)
 .resources(http("BillDetail")
 .post(uri1 + "/router/***/simple-read.htm")
 .headers(headers_0)
 .formParam("entityId", "BillEntity")
 .formParam("rowId", "${BillRowId}")
 ...
 .formParam("exportConfigurationRowId", "")
 .check(css("#invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId", "value").saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))
 .check(css("#invoiceStatus", "value").find.saveAs("Old_InvoiceStatus")))
 )

Here I'm able to capture "#invoiceStatus" value successfully, but not for "#invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId".

I tried many combination (mentioned below) but no luck, same time all are working for "#invoiceHeaderRowId" & "#invoiceStatus".

.check(css("#invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId", "value").saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))
.check(css("input[id$='invoiceHeaderExtRowId']", "value").saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))
.check(css("input[id='invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId']", "value").find.saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))

Can someone please help me to solve this?

Thanks & Regards,
Aditya Agrawal

 .check(css("#invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId", "value").saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))

dot is a special character, as it's used for a class selector. You have to escape it with backslash.

.check(css("input[id='invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId']", "value").find.saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))

should work. You probably have a typo somewhere.

Thanks Stéphane for quick response.

I rechecked the typo, i don't see any issue. I will try with backslash and see if it works.

Anyway, Thanks once again.

.find is missing

.check(css("input[id='invoiceHeaderExts.invoiceHeaderExtRowId']", "value").find.saveAs("InvoiceExtRowId"))

No it’s not: it’s the default value for this step.
