Copy a Text from a DOJO Table with RobotFrameWork,Selenium

[Balázs Heiter]

Hi!
I want to copy a text (a date) from a DOJO table, after that, I want to paste to a Text Field (on the same page)
My problem is that i cant right click to the table and inspect the element, so I have to click the border of the table where i can inspect, than i go down to the right place where the date is.
But there isn't a unique ID for that cell.

I tried a several things, like  Get Text    xpath=//td[@class='dojoxGridCell'][2]
                                                         driver.FindElement(By.CssSelector("div > dojoxGridRow:nth-child(1) > table:nth-child(1) > tbody:nth-child(1) > tr:nth-child(1) > td:nth-child(2)")
Neither worked for me.

Any idea?

Screenshots attached.

Thanks!

Best regards.

Looks like an id at table element would help (I would try for developers to add one).

From the documentation, we know that Get Table Cell uses a table locator by id.

How about using a full xpath expression to locate the table and its td? You could use a tool like firepath in Firefox to test the xpath.

See if something like this would work:

Get Text    xpath=//div/div/div/div/div/div/div[@id='dojox_grid_View_1']/div/div/div/div/table/tbody/tr/td[@idx='1']

Hi!
I installed firepath, and it says my xpath is:     xpath=//div[@id='dojox_grid__View_1']/div/div/div/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]
I used Get Text.
and its seems its working, but in the result I only see the start and the end time of the execution if i'm correct (screenshot added)
So now, I think, I should try to paste the text what I got, to the text box what I mentioned.


Is there any idea how to do this, because I didn't find any Key Words which are paste a Text. Correct me, if I'm wrong.

Thanks!

best regards.

Good that you are locating the element.

Get Text returns a value, did you assigned it to a variable?

For setting values to text fields, you have Input Text, and Press Key.

See if they are enough for your needs.

everything is working really fine for now!
${DateString}    Get Text    xpath=//div/div/div/div/div/div/div[@id='dojox_grid__View_1']/div/div/div/div[1]/table/tbody/tr/td[2]
Input Text    xpath=.//*[@id='startDate']    ${DateString}

With this, its just do what must be done.

My next "big" problem is i want this Date increase with 5 minutes and than decrease with 5 minutes.

The Date looks like this:  '2015-11-17T16:27:46.707Z'

I want to get this: '2015-11-17T16:32:46.707Z'  and this: '2015-11-17T16:22:46.707Z'

I tried this: ${DateString+5}    Evaluate    ${DateString}[${DateString}.rfind(':')+5:]   But it says failed: SyntaxError: invalid syntax (<string>, line 1)

any idea?

Yes!

RTFM ;)

See the DateTime library, all docs are at: http://robotframework.org/robotframework/#standard-libraries
