Ignore Case-sensitivity in selenium

[Kiran S]

Hi All,

I have a senario where in I'd like to ignore the case-sensitivity of
the text on the webpage and then check if it exists or not may be
using selenium.isTextPresent(). I tried using equalsIgnoreCase()
method from java, but couldn't achieve it. Could anybody suggest any
suitable logic to achieve this?

Thanks,
Kiran

Hi All

As an example, I can use the following command to find this text on
the forum page:

assertTextPresent | regexpi:hi all

Thanks a lot Alan, regexpi worked.

Cool :) selenium.isTextPresent served the purpose.

You can also use the VS Regular Expressions.
Assert.IsTrue(Regex.IsMatch(selenium.GetText(//div[@id='1'), "This is
testing example string", RegexOptions.IgnoreCase));

Thanks Pavandeep. But I think I can't use this logic in selenium RC
with Java.

There is a way to verify the text present on web page ignoring case sensitiveness

http://automationtricks.blogspot.com/2010/10/how-to-verify-value-in-drop-down-list.html
Go to above URL there is a text on the page  " Using Xpath" 

use below command to verify text on the page

<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>regexpi:USING XPATH</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>regexpi:uSiNG XPath</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>regexpi:USING XPath</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

<tr>
    <td>verifyTextPresent</td>
    <td>regexpi:using xpath</td>
    <td></td>
</tr>

same you can try in selenium RC to verify above text ignoring case sensitiveness

verifyTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("regexpi:USING XPATH"));
verifyTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("regexpi:uSiNG XPath"));
verifyTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("regexpi:USING XPath"));
verifyTrue(selenium.isTextPresent("regexpi:using xpath"));

Hi Niraj,

Hi , I am having similar requirement , i need to click a checkbox , i will get the checkbox name dynamically during the program execution. I need to select the checkbox in the application ignoring case sensitivity , i have tried  

selenium.click("css=td[class='dxeListBoxItem dxeT']:contains("regexpi:"+str+"")");

but it is highlighting as error in eclipse . 

Please help me in solving this.

To describe breifly my requirement ,  during the flow of  program execution i will get the name of the checkbox to be selected in application i got the checkbox name as "Inactive" , i stored it in a string . when i passed this string variable to click in the main application it is throwing  error like element not found because in the application  .. the checkbox is named as "INACTIVE" . hence it is failing to  recognize it . how can i make it case insensitive so that it can identify the check box in any case. 

ThankS & Regards

It is an error because you are trying to use double quotes inside your string.  Use single quotes inside any string and you won't have this problem.
