Selenium 2.0 for Ext JS

[amaresh ojha]

Hi,

I am automating a web application built in Ext JS using selenium RC and xpath ( of course) but the test suite is really unstable and some of the actions randomly fails without any reason .
I am planning to migrate to selenium 2.0 with the webdriver which has a better handling of AJAX application.
Can someone share his/her experience if worked on Ext Js based web app  automation with web drivers ?

Thanks
Amaresh

Hey Amaresh,

I really had a difficult time to automate an application made from ext-
js.

The thing about ext-js is that its filled with dynamic ID's/Elements
which keep changing each time the page is loaded.
So you wont be having a solid object /ID to use in selenium.

I would recommend you to try this method.

Suppose there is a button and it has the following attributes.
-->Element ID - Dynamic
-->Name(Xpath) - Not dynamic
-->Class

I would suggest you to use xpath or u can use the class to get the
Dynamic ID using selenium.getattrubute()..

Let me know if this helped and if we can access the site you are
trying on!
thanks
ro!
