Problem Verifying that an element does Not exist using the page object model

[Paul Sukow]

Hi,

I'm working on a test for a scheduling part of our app in which I do the following steps:

1. Create a shift

2. Verify that the shift was created.

3. Delete the shift

4. Verify that the shift was deleted.

I am using the page object pattern and I have a selector in my page for the shift like:

newShift { $('.newShiftClass') }

I am able to verify when a new shift is created in my test by:

newShift != null

When I try to verify that the shift was deleted by:

newShift == null

An geb.error.RequiredPageContentNotPresent exception is thrown and the test fails.

I can, however, use the selector in my test like:

$('.newShiftClass') == null

And the test will pass and no exceptions will be thrown.

It seems to me that this might be a bug in Geb, but I'm not sure. Does anyone have any advice?

It's not a bug. You need to set required: false for the content item, because Geb defaults it to required: true. http://www.gebish.org/manual/current/#code-required-code
