To check the order of list, must be in alpahbetical order.

[Utsav Sinha]

Hi,

I am using selenium RC and my project requires to automate the following test case.

While the user logs in to the home page and selects option 'xyz' from categories tab then the list of 'xyz' should appear on the page in alphabetical order.

Like xyz - Australia, xyz - Bangladesh, xyz - India and so on.

Please suggest if there is any function in selenium that allows to test this ordering on the page.

As far as I know I do not think we have something in selenium to handle this.

 

But, If you are on JAVA may be you can use

String.compareTo(*String)

returns 0, -ve, +ve integer if the String  compared is equal, comes before in the dic, comes after in the dic respectively.

 

This easily does the Job.

I am doing this by gathering all the elements into a List<String>, where the list is populated with the getText() for the WebElement that is displayed on the page, if the order they are displayed.  I then copy it to another List<String> and sort that list.  You can then compare them to see if they are equal.  If they are not then they are not displayed in sorted order.

The code looks like this:
try
{
    List<String> displayed = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<String> sorted = new ArrayList<String>();
    List<WebElement> invoices = helper.getTransactionLinkElements(); // driver.findElements()

    for (int i = 0; i < invoices.size(); i++)
    {   // Get all the customer names
        String str;

        str = helper.getInvoiceCustomerName(invoices.get(i)); // Does getText() for Customer Name column
        displayed.add(str); // Added as they are displayed
        sorted.add(str);
    }   // for

    Collections.sort(sorted); // Sort the list
    if (!displayed.equals(sorted))
    {
        final String failedMsg = "Customer Names are not in sorted order.";
        helper.logException(failedMsg, null);
        passed = false;
        assertTrue(passed, failedMsg);
    }   // if
}   // try
catch (Exception ex)
{
    final String failedMsg = "Failed trying to check order for Customer Names.";
    helper.logException(failedMsg, ex);
    passed = false;
    assertTrue(passed, failedMsg);
}   // catch
